I got it here somewhere - I thought it was right in my wallet, I swear it was there yesterday

 

Thanks guys once again for a really wonderful trip

This one was a bit more activity than I am used to in this heat but I was pleased that all the cars I tuned came out great

Best part was member Maniak who came by with his girfriend who was complaining the car I tuned previously would not idle with XS power 272 cams and the a/c on

Thankfully with some adjustment it was idling like stock

Thanks again Chicago members for your continued support

I will try to return in late September

 

Hey Al, if you come by in late Sept. I am in!!

 

Same here...Thanks Al!

 

Thanks Al for fixing my a/c, now the car is running much better. My girlfriend is happy now and she can forget about the lamborghini. lol. Just to let you know AL my cams are not XS power, they are XS enginnering race max.

 

Yeah... Its a good thing to know that their not XS power.. LOL...

Com'on al, get it straight. J/P

 

Glad to see everyone is happy with their tune. Hope to get my flash soon!

 

Al thx for the flash! Car runs more smoother and more pep!

 

Now that I've been driving my car all week since my tune I noticed a problem. At parial throttle when boost starts to rise, Sometimes there is this weird flapping sound that sounds like birds wings and my boost gauge starts going back and forth about 1 psi really fast. Is this the "flutter" everyone is always talking about? My car NEVER did this before the tune. I don't know if its pulling timing or what. It seems if I take off from a stop and floor it through all the gears its fine, but this flutter issue only happens in 4th and 5th gear if say I'm already cruising and then decide to enter boost. I tried tightening/lossening my APS BOV and it still does it. What's going on here?

 

That's standard part-throttle flutter. You're not supposed to part-throttle boost. This is a different flutter from regular full throttle boosting then letting off.

It has nothing to do with your tune. You're just not driving properly. There is a lot of load in high gears, and the BOV in its current states cannot properly regulate the pressure with part throttle.

 

So whenever I enter boost, I should always floor it is what you're saying? I'f I'm at full throttle everything works fine.

 

Yes. With tons of mods and making good power with a strong BOV and strong boost, it's not easy to drive at part-throttle and trying to build boost. It just doesn't work well. You can do it with a stock BOV that's very weak, but then it doesn't hold your boost at WOT very well.

 

OK that makes sense then, I mean don't get me wrong, I would floor it every minute of every day if I could, its just sometimes its not practical, like duting city driving and its hard not to keep it out of boost, when actually trying to go slow. I just don't want to screw up anything, thats why I asked. Well, thanks for your help!

 

Yeah, I know, it is annoying sometimes. Just remember that if you do find yourself building boost slowly at part throttle and need to let off, don't let off the gas slowly, or it will buck and surge. Always do a quick full-lift, then get back on the gas. You'll find this helps avoid the part throttle compressor surge in traffic and such.

 

hey al, my car feels slow again...duno if its just me or the car.. and my car idles really rough with a/c on with stock cam...any ideas??
