Stage 1 and Re-burn Question(s)...

[ToMang07]

Ok, so here it goes:

I'm planning a bunch of upgrades to my truck the soon as I get my tax returns. :cheesy smile:

In addition to the Riffraff FRX, Hutch/Harpoon mods, a JW Valve Body, I'm probably going to get bellowed up-pipes and a 38R.

At this point, I don't believe I need a re-burn, correct? :hmmm:

At the same time, I'm considering going with Stage 1 injectors. (160CC) I would like to at least break that 300rwhp mark, and I think that would do it, anyway. I know that 160cc Single-shots require a re-burn.

What is the re-burn cost on a 5-tune Phoenix? I was looking at the "reburns" page and it reads like it's the same cost as just buying another chip??? :shocked:

Also, other than shipping, what would I be looking at for turnaround time? I can't afford to go too long without my truck! :twitch:
:help:

The valve body (which does NOTHING to make the transmission stronger) may require you to get new calibrations as well because the transmissiom will probably shift hard as all get out afterward.

If you go with the same basic tunes you have now, I believe the reburn fee is $25 per position for switching injectors.

Ok, so the valve body would require a re-burn... then I'd be looking at $150 for the re-burn (after shipping) plus $250 for the VB.

I know it doesn't make the transmission "stronger" but my understanding of it is it strengthens the shifts... specifically increases line pressures and makes the shifts quicker, so the transmission has less slip-time and heats up less.

If I'm way off base let me know... I'm just trying to band-aid my transmission until I have $5k to drop on a BTS or JW. :doh:

Also, just for clarification,

Do I need a re-burn for adding a 38r OR a S366 Turbo?

I'm leaning more towards the S366 turbo, since it has a journal bearing, and the entire setup costs only $100 more than the 38R with Up-pipes.

And then I can recoup some money selling the stock parts! :notallthere:
