Ok guys, I'm about to [finally] order my Tony Wildman chip. I can't seem to find any contact info on his or Stealth Auotmotive's page. Anyone got a number for him?
Assuming not, maybe someone here can help with a few questions I have:
- his (and just abou all) tunes say a lot about tranny shift points. With a manual trans that doesn't affect me, so is there any difference between tow and heavy tow? Or daily and economy?
- I have stage 2 injectors from rosewood, but I believe these are not stage 2's as other vendors call them - maybe slightly smaller. Should I pick stage 1, 2 or hybrid from the drop down menu on the order page?
- under Hpop, terminator is not an option. I'm going to assume it's on par with Adrenaline, though. Any disagreements?
- same with 'aftermarket turbo' - there's just a checkbox next to it. I guess it doesn't matter which upgraded turbo you have?

If there is a comments or notes section on the order form, I would put your specifics in there. If not, then I would try and email him and let him know what you've got. I doubt there are any real differences between the things you're listing but I know I'd feel better knowing that he knew exactly what he was working with to build your tunes.
Edit: Also, I wouldn't refer to the injectors by calling them stage 2 with your tuner. Give them the specs. Jim's "Stage 2s" are 160/80 injectors. 160cc with 80% larger nozzles than stock.

The site you gave lists his number right on the front page!
And, yep, that was exactly my point Nate. I wanted to specify that flow/nozzle size but 1,2,hybrid were the only options on stealth. Good idea on the comments section though! Why didn't I think of that!?!

I would, but to be honest, it would be a while before I could get to it. I have trucks lined up to work on for people, pipes to build, e-fuel kits to build, trying to get my F150 I just traded for on the road, plus all the other little deals I have going buying, selling and trading parts and trucks.....geez, I'm tired just saying it all. I should be out there working now...

I did talk to Matt from Irate Diesel the other day and they may be able to do something custom for me. I'm just waiting on a price ;-)
In other news, I got the oil up to 200 degrees the other day and she still sounds good. I just want to drive her now already, but I'm still dealing with little things like doors, power windows and locks, the bed, etc.
Oh and I may still have a slight drip from the turbo oil inlet fitting at operating temp but a little more re-torquing and hopefully it's a nonissue. It's more of just a seep now than a leak. My oil pressure fuel pump switch seems to be leaking though! Not at the fitting, but through the diaphragm body. Annoying but not a huge deal I guess.
Oh and the icp still seems to be doing weird stuff on startup. About every other time I start it, it sets the 1211 code. Usually it's fine when I clear it but it almost stalled when I cleared it once yesterday. The CEL and code came right back and the PCM saved it from stalling. Cleared the code about 5 mins later though and all was fine. ill wait until it's on the road to see if I need to swap the other icp I have in.
