I have over 10 years of experience at GM dealers. I am a GM world class certified tech. I have 8 years in at a Caddy dealer. I have a stack of Northstar’s in my garage. www.pcmcalibrators.net/garage-sales.htmlNorthstar Parts We would like to get rid of our Northstar stuff We have 4 Cranks 1 for a 93 to 99 and the rest are 2000 to 2005 1 is NIB never installed We have a set of Brand new heads never installed We have a few sets of Exhaust manifolds. Not sure what years We have a 2000 to 2005 Block in great shape We have 9 of the big GM totes full of extra parts. Let me know if you want or need something I will look. We have a few sets of matched connecting rods is great shape Northstar junkie LOL Do you have 3 Northstars at you house? Let's see some pics of this pile of Northstar parts. I am interested in seeing them. These are from the totes along the wall. We got tired of digging through them looking for A part 1 tote of 80 parts. I have 4 more of 80 parts       |

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. I am in the picture Randy. I went down to Steve's shop and fixed Wester's tune. Call Steve and ask him. |

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. ?? |

So did you ever hear back from your bud about tuning my 95? This thread is an abortion. If you want anyone to trust anything you say you need to put up some results or evidence of your abilities.
Posting things that you've been posting isn't quite cutting it. We need either dynos, application specific vids (NOT a Fiero and NOT a Mazda truck, I'm talking about Northstar Caddys or Auroras), or customer testimony, some sort of physical/visual example to know that you can do what you say you can do... Seeing IS believing.
How well do you think Wester's or someone of the sort can tune my application? 4.6 swapped, CHRFAB 272 cams, stiffer valve springs, ported heads, Wiseco .020+ pistons, Eagle rods, Ported Intake and TB, CAI, headers, full 2.5" true dual mandrel bent exhaust with x-pipe, and EP built 4t80e trans. Do they have the ability to make this build run right/reliably as a daily driver? If not, what/where are they lacking capability? Is it even possible?

Are you still sending up those two ECM's for programming you emailed me about last week ? Hey Lyndon. I don't think I need to any more. I had a very good trip last week and met someone on my trip that has all of the files I need. If it doesn't work out in the next few days I will send them up, but I am sure it will work out. I should have every parameter figured out. John said he would build me a VDF also |

If it does what we talk about you will remove this thread, BAN Randy, make a forum aka Section for PCM Calibrators and we will pay for that. Will you agree on that? I can't get you car in the 8 second bracket and i can't give you 1000 hp, but we can agree on something reasonable Thanks Cal Editor |

I can't get you car in the 8 second bracket and i can't give you 1000 hp, but we can agree on something reasonable Thanks Cal Editor I believe you have already been told that under no circumstances will we give a member a sub forum for monitary gain. Or for any reason. My DTS is not even with me anymore, so I have no need to get any tune done. Our forum is a free forum, and there is no need to charge members or advertisers for use. The entire staff has viewed this thread, we have taken all complaints into consideration, and there are no grounds to ban or even suspend Randy. Here are my conditions, you will get a sticky at the top of the performance forum, and the marketplace, this thread will be taken down, and Randy will have to eat his words. BUT we need proof. You obviously aren't comfortable GIVING away any tunes. Any profitable business venture needs risk starting out. Look at how much interest you have generated in this thread alone. People want to be able to pay you for performance. You say you have given away a bunch of tunes before, whats one more? If you send out one tuned PCM at a loss of 250 dollars. But say you gain 7 customers. that is $1,750, in your pocket, at a cost of 250 dollars. I would gladly pay 250 dollars in exchange for 1,750 dollars. Just think of Randy having to eat his words, and admitting he was wrong. I can't say he will apologize, but hey...im not a miracle worker here. There aren't a whole lot of tuners out there for these cars, if you can tune these cars (and prove it) then you will be the only tuner ACNA supports. We have 5,000 members, your profit potential here could be amazing. Pick a member we all know. I can think of 15 members off the top of my head that we all know and trust. I think one of the most trusted members, and fellow admin, is XJS. From personal experience and forum wide experience, I think most of us can vouche for him in terms of reliability. Hell, he might even be willing to return the PCM to you after posting a video and a thread. The call is yours. But I know what I would do. |

I am doing one currently for a customer. He has a 2004 GTO engine going into something. He need the AC to work off of a 12 input. I we are talking about myself figure out the code and had John at TunerCat add the parameter so any TunerCat user can tune the PCM to turn the AC on with 12v input or with a Class II data signal. So is this a tune? |

How about me, with what I requested from cal. I have posted before video, and I assure you that there would be a depiction of the after. I'd take it to a dyno, old vs new. An rpm change should be very obvious..

I think most of us would agree that we're depicting a tune as enhanced fuel/spark maps, mpg, partial throttle power, and WOT power.
Basically, a performance tune. shift point changes, etc.

After reading through this thread...I see a couple of computers mentioned that were to be sent up to us. I can only assume these are the ones AJ was referring to, that 'they' were going to do for someone here. I'd like to honor that request--anyone wanting a performance tune for their 1995-1999 Aurora--just drop us a note for a VERY special discount. Where Northstars and Auroras are really tuned ! ; ) Lyndon Westers Garage www.westersgarage.com |

Oh...and all that 'information' we were given by AJ, was a VIN list of some Cadillacs...and a VIN from a Shelby on Ebay. Honestly thought we were going to get some real information, but didn't get anything that couldn't be found on Autotrader.com
I took the info from the VIN, and developed a solid template to tune the 1999 Shelby from, once I had a real good look at the calibration. Took me a few days...
Thought the record should be set straight here about that...

Cal, as you will notice. We have enlisted the help of Lyndon over at westers for a bit of insight into this issue. Good to see you, Lyndon.
On behalf of everyone on this forum, I thank you for stopping by to clear up a few issues.
It's pretty cut and dry, folks. Make your opinions how you wish, but cal has been found out to be a fraud. If you do business with Cal you are doing so at your own risk.

I am now in possession of the Real Information. I have no problem if anyone wants a tune from Wester's. Lyndon has been more than fair to me even if I want more, but the deal was for what I got. I feeel that I got the best part of the deal and Lyndon honored his end. |
