Thread: 2000 Tuning

  1. #1

    Default 2000 Tuning

    FYI anyone looking for a tune on a 2000 SVT should stay away from Diablo software. You can't tune 2000 SVT's with Diablo. I've tried to get it done twice now and it won't take the tunes. Stick with SCT if at all possible.

    Your PCM code might be helpful, so people can compare.

    KyleQ owns the first one I tried to have tuned. He's on the boards so maybe he will respond. The other, I'll get the code from shortly.

    Yeah - talk about a disapointment The PCM code is printed on the ecu correct? I'll take a peek - my car isn't even driveable as of right now - so it is nice and warm in the garage...

    Should be XGT1 or something I believe

    I use the Xcal2 with no problems.

    Yup KyleQ's is XGT1 and I'm betting the other one is also.

    yeah i'm on my second set. shift cables are easy though...nothing that should keep the car in a garage more than a day or two if you've got a little time here and there.... lol

    The shift cables have been the same as they have always been - Tyler and I noticed I didn't have a shifter colette on the one cable end last X-Mas and have been driving it since. Last Thurs I sheared my shift tower bolt - waiting on a part so I can put it back together. I was wondering if I could recruit your help sometime next spring Tyler - I've got an 8lb flywheel, MSDS headers, I've yet to pick up a clutch, but that is going in on the same time. I'd ask my buddy to help - but he is a Tires Plus tech - he is NOT touching my car - I'd like to wrench with someone who knows WTF is going on... Let me know- I'll be offering financial compensation for your time.

    It looks like I may be able to dyno tune my car next summer
    What can I say - I get 27mpg driving aggressively - not enough motivation to get a tune at that point..
