Cal, you have not brought fourth a shred of evidence that you are who you say you are. I imagine I could find a website that says I was president in 1954. Does that mean I am? Why don't YOU stop telling EVERYBODY else to do some research into who you are and what you do? Why not bring fourth SOLID undeniable evidence that you are capable of tuning a northstar? You shy away from questions by answering with another question, you post pics from a a forum because you sell things on it, you have 5 bajillion PM's, and would you like to know what all of this has in common? IT PROVES NOTHING ABOUT YOU OR YOUR SUPPOSED TUNING ABILITIES. Your graphs show nothing concrete, your claim to fame is by using OTHER peoples work to credit yourself. You come in here and state that you use 3 different providers to tune your PCM's. And basically imply that you do none of it yourself. Then you suggest that one of the staff members here has a mental condition. Even if he did, his questions and requests are not un-reasonable. Your responses are! Stop beating around the bush and post undeniable evidence to back up your claims. If you can't or don't, and continue these questionable posts than you will be assumed a troll and/or fake and dealt with accordingly. Either post up, drop the subject, or continue on your way. A tune is going out in a few days. I guess you can wait. |

I don't get it. This has went from being a conversation to being an irrational argument that shows an enormous amount of hidden frustration. caleditor has shown posted numerous videos that he can tune Northstars (Northstar Fiero off the top of my head) and has posted links to posts by people that will agree that he can tune a northstar. It looks to me like people want a Before/After video, but even then, they will doubt it. This thread is going nowhere. It went from being amusing to read, to being downright pitiful with no material being presented. Randy.. Is that -really- appropriate behavior for a staff member? If you are going to ask a question, then simply refute his answer just to provoke an argument, it seems to me like you've lost most of the rationality that you originally brought to this thread. That being said.. You are limited aren't you Randy. is probably the most offensive thing that he's said. I'm surprised that, despite being barraged by a neverending onslaught from aura1/Randy, he hasn't said anything that is really out of line. Are you guys just not willing to accept that someone can tune an Aurora? Maybe he can, maybe he can't. I'm going to have faith and say that he can. No reason to doubt him until proof is given. If you want proof so badly, pay for the tune, show the results, and then he will have business. No need for this garbage in the meantime. |

I agree with Wireless above, you guys turned this thread into a temper tantrum fest. What is it that most Mom's usually teach their kids? "If you can't say nothing nice, don't say nothing at all" If you don't believe the guy then let others find out he is not the real deal on their own. You say he can't prove he can tune but you can not 100% disprove him either so its just a merry go round. I was surprised at all the negative attitudes towards my turbo thread but they motivated me to actually find someone who can & does tune northstars in my area so that is what these threads are about, education & interest. Not a pissing match for little man syndrome types

Not a pissing match for little man syndrome types Apparently your mom is quite a failure based on your own provided information and the rules you base your life on. Your words, not mine. Obviously you want to join in on the fun, or you would not be talking to people like this and poking the bee hive. And fyi, I have been in many pissing contests, and my piss is faster and longer than anyone elses I have competed with so far, I have also pissed out 2 vehicle fires. Get over the fact that I am a staff member, I am not acting as one in this thread, that would not be fair for me or the op at this point. I am a member, too, and always will be, if someone is possibly not being honest and wasting peoples time, it is in my interest to say what I think, whether I am part of the staff or not. This is obviously so off topic and is borderline being locked, but it's not my business to do so at this point. So get off my case, I don't care what you think about me. |

i agree with randy and lance. we need cold hard proof that this can be done. like nothing short of him showing up with a tuned Aurora at one of the meets.

Wireless, his videos are videos by other people. If I take a video of a bugatti veyron, and say it's mine, does that make it mine? No. And please, show me one picture that proves that what he is doing here is tuning a northstar? I haven't seen a single photo showing any solid evidence whatsoever. The OP posts a photo of how many files he has? And that makes it legit? My computer has 798 files on it...I bet I can tune an airplane!
I have said it before, and I will say it again. Randy's requests are not out of line. All I ask for is a simple dyno sheet. Which I would assume the OP has at his supposed shop.
Maybe you are comfortable with letting people "find out the hard way" as far as spending 250 dollars on a pipe dream. But I am not comfortable with our forums members taking a risk on something that has not been proven.

I am interested in viewing the bin file for the 96-99 PCMs. When you remove the chip what is said chip reader you are using? I've been sorting through the information on the thread and how do you plan on doing a street tune for an Aurora unless you have an Aurora present?
I am interested in learning about this. What more can you offer details wise? I have a CarPC so I can do a lot of this on the fly without removing and disconnecting the PCM a million times.

You may be taking the bait, hook, line, and sinker, but you should read the whole thread again, and look at the "proof" he has provided. Look at some of Ajxtcmans threads here in the past, you will see the end result is always the same.  I don't care about solving anything in this thread. I think this thread has turned into a huge waste of time for the last 3 pages. It's lost any wealth of information and turned into rambling. Also, I've been keeping up with this thread, and have read it numerous times. I've also seen posts on other forums that reference him having a wealth of information. I don't know if he can tune an Aurora or not, but he CAN tune a Northstar. Numerous people have attested to that. Let's hope he can. Wireless, his videos are videos by other people. If I take a video of a bugatti veyron, and say it's mine, does that make it mine? No. And please, show me one picture that proves that what he is doing here is tuning a northstar? I haven't seen a single photo showing any solid evidence whatsoever. The OP posts a photo of how many files he has? And that makes it legit?

But I am not comfortable with our forums members taking a risk on something that has not been proven. The videos are UPLOADED by other people, that say that he helped them out. Simply because he did not upload themselves means nothing. The only time he should upload a video of it is if the customer explicitly says he is allowed too. At least that's my opinion on it. However, I agree with the part that a dyno sheet would be nice, although my fears are that if he presents one it will be met with claims of falsification. As far as taking the risk.. someone has to do it. I agree, it sucks paying for something you aren't 100% sure to get, but someone is going to have to fork up the money at some point. Work isn't done free in this world. |

I apologize for that, I read a part of it wrong. This thread is going nowhere. It went from being amusing to read, to being downright pitiful with no material being presented. Randy.. It was this part with the two periods, combined with the part above it, I took it as all these sentences being tied together when they were actually separate parts, and the 2 periods made it sound like a scolding. Now that I have read it correctly I see what you are saying. Again I am sorry for my mistake in reading it wrong. I still would have said what I said back, but it would have been different, lol. |

I will try and find a pcm from a junkyard Aurora send it down and pay the $ to see the improvements... but if you have a donor aurora all you would require is the pcm.. am I correct?

Apologies for making it seem as if I was scolding. Was not my intention. You were being fair. I read it wrong. Now to caleditor and fellow members reading. www.pcmcalibrators.net/index.htmlThis website is created free by weebly. Carefully read through it all and understand what it is. It has no mention of any Northstar tuning from 96-99. If this is part of your business, then why are our cars or Cadillacs not listed? Then when you go to the videos on the site, it has the same ol ajxtcman videos from forever ago. If you are doing so many tunes on trucks and whatever, why have you not made a new video for like 3 years showing what your company can actually do? And WHAT!! No listing on all the XLRs and STS-Vs you have done? Are you kidding me? If you do so many, then why are they not listed? We will get to more on that later. Then you go to "contact us" on the site. It has caleditors personal phone number. It also has 2 addresses, both of which are home addresses, residential areas. If your shop does all this work, then where is the website, address, and phone number for the real shop? Do you expect people to think all this is going on in a house? www.cadillacforums.com/forums/northstar-performance-technical-discussion/221521-any-previously-tuned-2000-2003-pcm.htmlYou also claim in this thread you are not tuning any more '96-'99 Northstars, and yet you tell us you will? Not that I think you can either way. www.cadillacforums.com/forums/northstar-performance-technical-discussion/66713-northstar-supercharger-2.htmlQuote from the above link. pcmcalibrators/ajxtcman/caleditor- "Wow old thread We have been into the 00 to 03 PCM for awhile. The 96 to 99 is no problem. We have the ability to tune that PCM also." caleditor, if the 96-99 is so easy, then why all this crazy show? Slap your darn computer in an Aurora and show us. It's just another bold claim that you can't back up. www.cadillacforums.com/forums/northstar-performance-technical-discussion/238076-northstar-pcm-tuning.html#post2717565And you can see in this thread dated 9-16-11, aj states that he has tuned about a 100 cars besides a Northstar. In our forum he has tuned what? 500 now? So you have done 400 in the last 4 months? lol www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-xlr-forum/244833-pcm-calibrators-tuning-xlrs-xlr-vs.htmlWow! You have tuned 10 XLRs and several STS-Vs? You have to have caught that on video? Right? right? Oh no, of course not. Post another video of the Fiero and call it good. This is just the tip of the iceberg, lol. This idea that caleditor can tune is a complete failure. |

AJXTCMAN 101: Does aj lie about everything? Yes. Is he credible? No. Can he tune anything at all? No. Is his website fake? Yes. Is Randy crazy for acting like this? Yes? rofl www.youtube.com/watch?v=FocwKIobXuoHere is a video he posted about a 130 mph run in the Fiero. I know a lot of you have Autobahns and have been that speed many times. It is clear in the video that he is pulling maybe 80 at the most. I think everything he says is a lie. There is no telling where those actual videos came from in the first place. Anything northstar related on his youtube is 3 years old or older. |

www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-powertrain-control-module-pcm-tuning/156854-what-tuning-definition.htmlAnd this thread shows why aj can not tune our Auroras. It is a very interesting read. I got more info from one person replying than I ever have from reading ajs gobbldiegook. Watch after AJ gets totally setup and busted out, he totally ignores it and changes the subject, it's pretty funny. Do some research people. You don't have to ask aj, he has no answers. The real answers are all over the internet for everyone to see, look for yourself. Don't take my or his word over it, you decide.

I forgot Pictures And all but 2 video's are mine Are you saying those pics are yours aj? The guy in the thread below would probably think other wise. He did not say you had anything to do with it. Quote from the owner of the truck aj showed pics of-"Hey guys, I finaly got to drive my little mid engine Northstar powered Mazda pickup. Look on page 9 of this thread if you want to see old pics of the truck. I'll try to post some more pics and info later on when I have the time. I did install a single turbo just to see what this thing was going to do. I didn't run a whole lotta boost but what little I did run was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6lbs to be exact. I can go all the way up to 35lbs but I dont think my stock engine will stand much more than that without scattering a bunch of parts all over the road!!!! Im going to build me a good stout engine when I get all the bugs worked out. Lyndon Wester at Wester's Garage did me an LS1 ECM with a turbo tune. I cant even begin to tell you all what this was like. I was expecting the truck to spin like crazy but I was amazed. The tires are 235-50-ZR18 Firestones . I thought if it wouldn't spin the front end might come off the groung but it didn't. It just took off like a rocket and pinned me back in the seat without any wheelspin at all. I dont think the truck weighs much more than 2200 lbs not counting the northstar engine and tranny. Right now I have a 3.11 gear in the 4T80E tranny but I've got a 3.70 Im going to change it to later on. Lyndon wasn't able to get the tranny controls working in the LS1 ECM in a reasonable length of time so I went with a stand alone Power Control Solutions - Transmission Control Unit which is very tunable. I think I might like it better anyway. I can change line pressure , shift points , TCC , tire size, VSS and gear ratios and such. This control unit will let you have a performance calibration and a normal driving calibration with a flip of a switch. (A) for performance and (B) for normal driving. I got to drive this thing about four or five times up and down the road in front of my shop before it decided to twist one of the axles in two. This thing has an awesome amount of torque with the turbo. Im having another set of axles made as we speak. Im giong to try some 4340 and have it heat treated this time. The axle shaft is what broke not the joints. The stock Caddy CV axles are definitly not going to be strong enough. Anyone got any ideas on stronger axles?  ? I hope AJ will chime in on this one. He has a lot of experence with these engines and ECM's . I'd like to know if he's made any progress with his super charger for his Fiero to. Steve (AKA mazda1949)" He said Westers did his pcm, not aj. www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-powertrain-control-module-pcm-tuning/121842-running-northstar-ls1-pcm-6.htmlIt looks like you put a shelby pcm in a Fiero with a Northstar, I will give you that much. But that is it, you can't tune Northstar PCMs, you are just dreaming. |
