Tuned By Kevind

okay so saturday morning i went and met kevind so he could tune my car and all i can say is DAMN!!!!!!!!! he definately knows his $hit.. my car pulls so much harder then before the tune. it was well worth the 5 hr drive to get down there. So all i wanted to say is thanks kevin you did a badass job. i'll let you know my numbers whenever i can make it down there again to get dynoed.

i'm glad things went well! it took a little longer then normal because of that lone spark plug with the wrong gap, but we got it all taken care of and it is certainly the fastest stock ECU car i've been in

So KevinD, do you think you can improve on my TurboTrix tune? Or should I wait for some more toys?

have you changed any parts at all sense you got the turbo trix tune? and was the turbotrix tune a custom tune or mail in?

more then likely i can optimize the the better. even my first tune was a turbo trix tune until i started doing it myself, and the TT tune was decent, but can certainly be improved upon on the street. during dyno days generally they go through the cars quickly to get more done instead of spending the time to get it perfectly right. for example on evopowers car he arrived at about 10am, and we weren't done until 3pm. about 45 minutes of that was for me to pick up a rental car before they closed. when we had the misfire, we took it back and regapped the plugs and then resumed tuning again.

if you have changed any parts sense the last tune, the difference will be even more. so in conclusion, yes, i can improve upon the TT tune.

Matt-
I got an extra 30 hp and almost 20 ft/lbs of torque over my Dynoflash from Kevin's tune... Pretty good bang for your buck.
