Yes, these tunes do really wake up these cars. This is custom tuning, a Westers
tune is based on the modifications you have and the octane you are using, the
higher the octane, the higher the performance. Visit Westers Garage for more information.

Race (Hot) Tune available as well. Members discount $495.00
Turnaround is normally the same day they get the order, or the next weekday. The customer
ships his ECM to them, they add the tuning and ship back by PP Express next day.
Return shipping costs are included. Most are only without the use of the car for three days. (So long as it doesn't fall on a weekend, that can add 1-2 days!)
You will need to contact me for an order form to receive this discount!
Anybody who has been interested in auto-racing has probably heard a lot of talk
about Nitrous. To some it may seem like something incredibly dangerous, and to
others it may be the most exciting modification they own. It is true that there
are some dangers to using Nitrous Oxide systems, but in reality it should be no
more dangerous than any other type of power adder, such as a Turbo or
Supercharger. Learning more about Nitrous Oxide Injection will help you decide
if this is something worth considering, but at the very least it might be fun to
learn a little more about it either way so you can keep up your side of a
conversation if one ever arises.
Welcome to the Salt Lake Roadster club for Pontiac Solstice
and Saturn Sky roadsters. Even though Salt Lake is in the name we
aren’t limited to Salt Lake City. Our members live all along the Wasatch front and back for that matter. From Utah county in the south to
Cache Valley in the north, our members are geographically diverse. This
is a new club but we are growing fast. In only two and one-half months
we have nearly tripled in size. Because we are new and due to the
current winter weather we haven’t had the opportunity for rides or
events. We are looking forward to the future and are checking on and
planning some exciting events.
As an example last summer my wife and I took a ride into the high Uinta
mountains of northeastern Utah. We started in Ogden Utah and headed
east on I-84 to the junction with I-80. With the top down we marveled
at how beautiful the scenery and rock formations were. Although we had
driven the route several times before, this time it was different the
viability with the top down was unreal. My wife being a Geology major,
had to stop at the Devils slide scenic area to take pictures with our
new Sky.
We followed I-80 until we reached the town of Wanship. Here we took the
exit and headed south on state road 32 driving passed Rockport
Reservoir and traveled though green pasture land to the town of Kamas.
In Kamas we stopped and picked up a picnic lunch before starting on
state road 150. This twisting road took us up through the Uinta
mountains reaching altitudes near 10,000 feet. The scenic views of the
high mountains, pine forests and distant low land valleys were even
more spectacular in the roadster.
All
modern automobile engines are controlled by computers, which is why traditional
tune-ups are nearly a thing of the past. However, most engine computers are
programmed at the factory with "granny controls" to make insure that the
operator will not lose control and that the vehicle will have limited stress on
it's components.
So, if your roadster doesn't "pop" out of the start like you think it should,
it is because GM is is more worried about their new 100,000 mile drive-train
warranty than they are about giving you the full performance that the vehicle is
capable of, or even giving you the best possible gas mileage.
For people who just spent $30,000+ on a performance roadster, the very
existance of "granny controls" are a real disappointment. The solution?
Reprogram the computer, take off the granny controls, and tune for best possible
performance and gas mileage.
Not only am I directionally challenged, but since buying one of the first
Solstices offered on eBay, I can tell you that I have completely lost my heart
and soul to this car.
My GM Roadster "Lost Sol" blog is all about how fun I am having with my new
Solstice, including my unending search for the perfect array of performance and
technological aftermarket products which might make this car even more enjoyable
than it already is (if that is even possible).

With
all of the aftermarket products out there on the market, there may be
some confusion as to how all of them work.
In my short series of
articles, I plan to cover the technical side of how basic aftermarket
upgrades benefit your car, and explain the important question: “Why do
I need that, and what does it do?”
In this article I will explain the
functions of Cold Air Intake systems, but in upcoming articles I will
be covering Exhaust Systems, Ignition, and Forced Induction.
GM's highly evolved LNF engine, which is the 2.0L Turbocharged motor
found in the Saturn SKY Red Line and the Pontiac Solstice GXP, just
grew in stature a bit within the broader GM enthusiast community.
As many people know, I began my tuning career working with earlier
generation Ecotech engines found on Chevy Cobalts and Saturn Ions
before I began working with SKYs and Solstices. For the Cobalt
community, the performance engine option offered by the factory was the
LSJ, a close cousin to Sky/Solstice engine that was "super"-charged
instead of turbo-charged. However, GM recently annouced the retirement
of the LSJ, although they didn't leave GM enthusiasts much time to
grieve before that short lived motor was quickly replaced with the
turbocharged LNF.
With the high performance GXP / Red Line 2.0L Ecotec engine comes
several more capabilities, but does it truly address all of the issues
with the previous motor, or are there still some naggine problems? In
my evaluation, there are a lot of obvious changes to the appearance of
the new LNF compared to the LSJ, but there are also a lot of changes
that cannot be seen from the engine compartment which deserve more
detailed analysis (and appreciation).
