Do you think it would be over an hour to re-tune it tho?? Does that include all the dyno/tune time also?? i guess i have a bunch of other questions about it. i mean martin has everyone's car logged and saved, so if i were to add the FMIC,Cams, and head studs, it shouldn't take that long to tune it then correct, i mean not as long as say the first time would it?? So would it be 225/hour then Eric? would that include dyno time and tune time? Is that an acurate number??

$225/ hour is correct, I believe.

I was retuned, by Martin, for adding cams and it only took about an hour. This was done on the dyno, of course.

I think it would be safe for you to assume about an hour for your retune, as well.

Sounds like a no; cool.

Was just checking for things like timeslot changes or anything like that. I've got like a 5hr drive, so was just trying to double-check. No Probs here!

First flash complete!

305/300 today on 93 octane daily driver. Mods in my sig.

Baseline was 271/259 (everything was previously installed). That's about 35 hp and 40 tq gain. Wish I was out driving it more now to verify the results! Boost comes on a LOT faster and much more violent. Car seems more more torque-r; thank god!

silver bullet, I would think with the cams and FMIC you should be putting down better numbers than that? No offense but 2 posts up boomn29 put down only a few less than you did with way less mods.. whats the deal???
