I need some help on finding a closer place to get my car tuned. I live in Louisiana and i need a closer place for getting my car tuned. Ive been to AMS in chicago a few times and recently i just got back from there a few days ago and my car is running worse now. They told me that i must be getting use to the power of my car but as everyone knows, you know how your car runs and performs better than anyone. Before i went up there recently i was running 12.1 in the quarter with a trap speed of 117. Today i went to Import Face Off with the added mods:

1. Changed out my 272 exhaust cam with stock intake cam for the new GSC S1 cams.
2. O2 housing
3. Exedy Stage 2 clutch
4. Motor mounts.
5. AMS fuel rail.

My best time was 12.4 as my first run, 12.5 as my second, then after that it just got worse. Before i went back to AMS i was at 335 whp with 310 tq. Now im supposedly at 347 whp and 325 tq and my car seems to be running worse and now my best trap speed is only 110. I dont know if it was the cams, clutch, or the tune. Also, after i launch i would be reaching redline quick, now it takes me a little longer to get thru the gears. WTF?

Please people, give me some good shops to call!! I cant keep going to AMS when i have a problem or when something goes wrong.

 

I have a few questions for you.

What is your boost at in 3rd gear when you roll into it from low RPMS?
What was your previous best MPH and how consistant was it?

This obviously doesn't make much sense as your car was putting down more HP on the dyno than you were previously over the entire power band. The only thing the car experienced after that was getting rolled off the dyno and delivered to you... I am confused at what could have possibly happend at this point.

What I can do for you, since you are so far away, is to help you out via email with you maps and logs. I don't know if you have a tactrix cable and the logging software already. If you have them or wouldn't mind picking them up, I would be happy to walk you through using them so that I can get some more data from your car in order to help us figure out your situation.

TIA,
Chris

 

Thanks Chris for all of your help. I ordered the cable and it should be here by the end of the week. My boost at 3rd gear is spiking around 22.5-23 and tapering down to about 20.5-21 psi. Again, thanks for the help. I was fusterated cause it wouldnt be easy for me to come back down there on short notice so im glad that you are doing this for me. I sent you and email regarding the spark plugs.
