I'm planning on adding some more power to the Stinger soon and between all the current developments (SXTH EK1 Lite, Burger HPFP, Burger back end flash w/EK1 Lite, etc) in addition to what's already out there, my head is spinning and I'm thoroughly not sure which path to take. This is actually a good thing for the platform and shows we have a good amount of options on the table which I do appreciate.
I currently am running a JB4, BMS intakes, Borla catback, and HKS plugs. I switch between 91 octane on map 2 and e30 on maps 3-4 and the car feels decent just there alone. I sold my Tork TCU as I am not tracking my car and never used the ability to launch. The quicker shifts from the tune were nice, but very subtle, and I think I'd benefit from more of a TCU tune in a higher stage. I've run a shift kit on previous automatic car, although with a much inferior transmission (ie, 5-speed) where shift line pressure was considered high compared to the Tork stage 1 and I enjoyed it. I have no idea my current power numbers or even times on 0-60, 60ft, 1/8 mile, or 1/4 mile. although I do feel this car would best a couple of previous vehicles that ran low 8 second and around mid 80mph 1/8 mile times and mid 4 second 0-60 times. The one car I've actually tested against was a c43 AMG and I was neck and neck with it and I had just tuned my car.
My main goal is just to have enough power to consistently keep up with or toy with cars that are low 12 second or high 11 second cars (392 cars, Tesla Model 3s, etc). I have another hobby now that takes up most of my time and haven't been giving my car much love, but appreciate what I have and want to make it a little faster is all.
The last time I was thinking of modding the Stinger, I was planning on running the CPI kit and calling it a day. I know I'd like to have another form of TCU tune though and will probably go with either Lozic or SXTH if I went the EK1 Lite route. I'd like to stay under $2500 all said and done, but wouldn't be opposed to a little more if needed. I also have no desire in messing with exhaust heading back towards the engine from the catback. I also would prefer CPI to Meth as my wife won't like our two kids riding in the back knowing that tank is back there.
So that being said, what would be the most efficient, graceful way of getting my car to be a high 11 second car, or even mid 11 seconds, either utilizing what I have now with the jb4 or doing something new like a full ECU tune? Would running the CPI kit with a stage 2 type TCU tune get me there or would I need more than that?
