Well that's that. If someone is unsatisfied with their tune, then the tuner should make some time to look and see. This is what happened, I am sure all will end well.

I'd be curious to see your torque curve with Martins tune vs the other shops tune. I basically told Martin when he tuned my car that I dont care about HP numbers and want to concentrate on the highest, flatest torque curve I can get without blowing up my car, and that is what he did. I hammer on this car for 40 minute races in the summer heat, several events with temps over 100 degrees and track temps in excess of 150 degrees and have not had even one issue. I had a former National Champ in his 350Z come up to me after a very hot race last year and tell me he was waiting for my car to slow down from the heat, but it never happened. To me that is what tuning is all about. To tell you the truth, I have no idea how much whp my car makes but I can tell you that there is no faster car (Evos included) in all of T2 national class, those are the only numbers that matter to me. You also have to remember that Martin is heavily involved in track events and uses us as his highspeed-test-lab and is talking with us on a regular basis to fine tune his knowledge and our cars performance on everying from suspension set-up to engine tuning; he is pretty darn good at it at this point.

Exactly, from the mouth of a 'true' road race man.

As far as I know when I told AMS that I want my TUNE for road race, that i do a lot of that, they told me they tune all the cars the same meaning if you road race, 1/4 mile, etc. Thats what the guy up front told me that does the paper work.
Anyway ill be glad to have my car on your dyno, lets set up the time and date.
Ill contact you guys tomorrow after work.
Thanks again,
NERMIN....
