I have a 2002 1500 QC Sport with the 5.9 gas engine.
I am having a Paxton SN93 charger put on.
I also have a bored TB, and Flowmaster exhaust and the cat deleted.
I am getting the CEL of course, but still runs fine.

What programmer would be the best to take advantage of the charger and clear the CEL?
Or do I need to get a simmulator or ziptie the factory one? I've read negs about each.

Thanks.

 

With a paxton you need to get to a paxton tuner if you like your engine with all your internals intact.

You are probably tossing codes due to the cat delete, just buy a set of sims.

 

By set, do you mean the front too?
Or do I just need one for the rear?

And so the Superchips wont work well with the Paxton?
Just want to do it right.

 

If you want to get the most out of your blower have it tuned by a pro on a dyno. I have a 2002 Corvette with a Procharger it puts down 473 rwhp and 440 torque. It was tuned by A&A Corvette, best money I spent. The car drives like a stocker, idles smooth, no codes just a lot of fun to drive. So if you can afford it I would highly recommend.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Does that mean that I wont need a programmer if tuned at a dyno?
I would like the ability to run in, say, econo, normal, or performance mode.
Is that not doable when running this supercharger?
I'm not pushing it to full boost. Just 5 to 7 lbs. of boost.
They said this charger is good to at least 14lbs. So, I shouldn't be overworking it.

 

Yup, sounds to me you are a candidate for a custom tune! Which means he (or she for the sake of political correctness) will also be able to delete the rear O2's...

Whoever is installing the blower better know that you'll either need Paxton's tuner or a custom tune. If not, it's time to find another installer.

Only shot at having different tunes to go to would be if you went with an SCT tuner and had them custom write you three on the dyno. These would be the three (plus stock tune) on your handheld tuner. Should work quite nicely...

 

Thanks for the help.
Like I said before, I'm not trying to max it out.
I'm only trying to use 5 to 7 lbs. of it's 15+lbs. capability.
Where's the BEST place to get an SCT Tuner?
