Like the title says, I installed Lidio's 93 Octane tune today. Wow, what a difference all around. No more bogging down part way through second gear when the T/C locks up on you.

Put your foot into it, and the down shifts are very pronounced, up-shifts I get rubber from 1-2, and 2-3 is very firm and fast. Only other mod I have is a cold air intake FIPK by K & N so far. Seat of the pants is night and day over stock, car pulls much harder.

Now the car always feels just right, no more hunting for gears and having to force downshifts with the throttle while just cruising around.

The only change I had Lidio make was the T/C lock up at 53 mph instead of 63 mph while in O/D, this is perfect for my local roads.

Feels like the car lost some weight!

Thanks Lidio!

Any idea how much hp & tq numbers lidio's tune gives? Some say his tune is kinda on the soft side on the numbers but I've heard nothing but good on the trans improvement!

This was a mail order tune. I have both 93 and 91 tunes as well as an empty spot for upload of a future tune.

As for numbers his site says 20 HP and about the same for torque. I'm happy with it. With stock factory tune your T/C locks up halfway through second gear, it also locks in third. This makes the car feel heavy and as if it's always in the wrong gear, you can't take advantage of torque multiplication if the T/C is locked.
 
Good stuff, I wonder how it improves 0-60mph times as well as the 1/2 miles times? Anyone ever test this ?

I'm assuming typo and that you meant 1/4 mile times.

I dropped almost a full second from stock with a tune, CAI, and UD pullies installed. (Mid 15's to mid 14's)

I had him do the exact same thing with my tune, agreed, difference in the car is night and day.
 
Just Got Mine Too!

I just went over to Lidio's shop today and got his tune.
Lidio was a great guy to deal with.
Loving it so far! Really livens the car up, just like I've read on here several times.
He put the standard tune in for 63 mph T/C lock, and I also had him put a tune on my unit that has a T/C lockup at 58 mph. I plan to try the standard one for a week or two, then try the other one out.
 
Lidios Tuning never locks the converter in 2nd, FYI.
It doesnt lock in in 3rd unless the throttle position is at or near WOT.
 
Do any of you guys know how I can get on of his tunes if I already have a tuner? I've been told he doesn't send them; only if you mail your unit to him.
I'm in Canada, and his tunes sound like they're really worth a try.
Mine are from Zack, and are great...just want to try something for a change.

Come drive mine. Gears, a Lidio tune, mufflers, CAI and UD pulley make the car feel 1,000lbs lighter. Regardless of test numbers - you can FEEL the difference.
 
^^^ If your lucky enough to have the Z tune then your done! There have been others that have tried tunes from other vendors and agreed "He" has the best one. No offense to anyone on the site

Your good with the Zack tune.

I would love to try one myself.

Today I played with the tuner a little, raised the idle rpm to 666 in drive, played with line pressure from 1-2 (+10%) and 3-4 (+5%) the rest is all Lidio's 93 tune, didn't mess wit the Global Spark. I now have the car I wanted and I think my mileage has also increased:)

Can anyone chime in with feedback about line pressures, anyone bump these up any more?
