Is my car slower?
was it hot when you made your pass. the heat will kill the power your car makes. did you use the intercooler sprayer? if the outside temp was like a 100 then this would cause you to run a little slower.

It was mid to low 80's that night. Wasn't hardly any humidity at all. As for the intercooler sprayer? I didn't turn it on or use it because they complain about the water on the track. I didn't think it really did anything anyways. 
what rpm did you launch at. when I go to the strip I drop the hammer at 5500-6000 rpms. with a 1.67 sixty ft. with a 8.0 at 88 mph. after that run they said I needed a helment to run again.
I have read this post
I just got back from the HIN Boston show - having driven non stop home till 4:30 a.m.
I have no energy to respond to this right now - just wanted to letyou know I saw this thread and will type in a resoponse when I have oms motivation for typing

i suggest that you chill out. do not call me names and do not start any more trouble not here or anywhere else for this matter. your "crew" caused enough problems in the past month or so and if this is your way of "joking" than i am truly sorry. if you feel the need to call me dumb that you are in even worst shape than i thought....

And I forgot who challenged me with their so called "bad tuned" car, but bring it as I am down for whatever.
Finally - when you go out test driving the cars I have tuned - I would suggest you lay off the recreational drugs for a few days - it would help
MAD TUNING Dawg - aight

Well....I ran my car tonight for the first time after your flash, fuel pump, and MBC install and I ran the same exact time, but only at 80 mph. I'm confused.
When I race my buddies stock Evo from a 3rd gear roll we are almost even til 4th gear and then I pull away pretty fast, but it seems like I didn't pick anything up down low.
Is there something I'm not understanding about where my power gains were? I was thinking I would at least trap about 84 mph or a bit higher tonight, but the three times I ran, I ran consistant 8.6's at 80 mph.
Is my car only faster at higher speeds? I'm guessing the flash made it a better 1/4 mile car than a 1/8 mile car?
I had people asking me what my a/f ratio and timing was, but I'm not sure what they were. They were telling me that it seemed as if you riched it up.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the flash, I'm just needing to know why (if you can tell me) my car is running the same times, but slower.
BTW....I'll be calling you about the custom tune at AMS on the 7th.

IMHO 1/8th mile drag results are mostly a good indication of driver skill and track prep
In evaluating a performance mod - especially one with only 20 whp like our dyno flash, I am more intheresed in the mph you pick up in the back 1/8th of the 1/4 mile.
In any event - there are a lot of variables which could explain your reported results - from faster shifts / slower shifts - different shift points - track preparation - boost leaks - spark plugs - tire pressure misinstlation of some mechanical part and or mechanical issues - not to mention the possibiloity of fuel variations
I am very VERY confident that the tne for the RS kit and the walbro pump is giving you at least 20 whp or more whp over your stock ecu's tune - I say this based upon reserach on 100's of evos with the RS HKS intake kit. Its almost impossible not to make more power with th Dyno Flash when you have the RS kit
I am more curious to hear your driving impressions regarding the "feel" of the power band and how the car is running on the road than your drag times
Remember - if your not happy with the Dyno Flash - send it back in for a return to stock and a full refund - thanks

Do you bees with dees "boost solutions crews" Or is that some other crew you B width???? Its had for me to keep all the crews straight these days b/c there are so many of them around

What we do is dail the a/f down to anice smooth 11.1/1 raitio and also smooth up the ignition timing so your car will not pull any ignition timing through knock activeity and so that you can feel a very smooth a linear power band

BTW...thank you for not just jumping up here and bashing it like some people could do. You came on and asked what the possibilities were that could have caused it...and not once did you say anything negative about it. I'm sure if you come down to AMS on the 7th (is that the date now?) that he will be more then happy to go over it with you in person and probably want to drive your car. Al has a lot of experience tuning our cars and could tell by one drive in it if it's tuned correctly or if you need another flash because of your mods...but trust me when I say GET THE STREET TUNE...it's worth every penny!

Look all I was trying to say is that dont expect a perfect curve or a highly tuned car from a mailin or ANY flash. I even suggested if you would look that more tuning would be needed, aka a street tune. I do not have a problem with AL or a Dynoflash, hell I even thought about getting one to go along with my emanage until AL never returned my messages or emails, which is a big deal to me(customer service) . In all, Happy tuning to everyone!! As for the mods such as blonde, if your cars has as much power as you guys think you do on here, then they would be some fast *** rockets. Everyone take care and have fun with their Evos becasue these cars ROCK!!

wow can I join this crew... I didn't know we had one. Dyno-FLash is a very good buy IMO and I was about to get it before I went with the EMS. But like I say to each their own. I would try going back to the track with some different gas and maybe on a day that track conditions are more like the first time you ran.

. give me a break bro, at least be honest about it and don't treat us like we are all dumb. we also don't think we have a lot of power but we do think that there is a way to conduct yourself and guys like you that only try to stir stuff up need to be dealt with. if you would have said what you said above in the first place, none of this would have happend. but instead you decided to say that dynoflash is a bad tune.
