Will an aftercooler solve my detonation issues? When I had my "base" Vortech S-Trim V-2 installed with a mild chip setting I had an occassion "ping", depending on the weather or the gas I purchased (really not a big deal as it was very rare and more gas quality related). My latest upgrades (Anderson PowerPipe, Lightning MAS, and Diablo Chip tuned for SC and new upgrades) have really created a fairly serious detonation issue. I know this is all a tuning issue, however here is my dilema. I have yet to find a tuner "genius" in my town (Jacksvonville, FL), resulting in my having to get mailorder and not perfectly tuned chips for my car. I know the dyno tune is CRITICAL, but I don't think it's going to happen in my lifetime, at least not in Jax, FL. Plus I've even heard of folks who get the custom tune and still have detonation problems. So even if I haul my butt say 7 hours to Johnson Motor Sports in Alabama, I can't be schlepping back and forth to retune the chip each time I ping. So, if I get an aftercooler for my car (and I do realize I will need my chip retuned for it, though it will end up being a mailorder "averagely" tuned chip), will the aftercooler elliminate the detonation completely? I mean I want to NEVER have any detonation, EVER. I am willing to invest the $$$ to protect my car from detonation, provided it's a guaranteed fix. Anyone have any experience with this type of situation before, installing an aftercooler to solve the detonation issue?
THANKS!
