the injectors were scaled for stock and not properly adjusted for the 880's and airfuel was not how it should have been, going from stock turbo and stock injectors only 5 pulls were made from that setup to a fp red and 880's, and no dont want to buy a bridge. i thought my tune was decent but just was off by a good bit i found out

Is Brandt the green DSM? That car gave me a lot of anxiety. Very fast, but it ran into transmission troubles apparently.

I'll be looking forward to a challenge. When there are no other Evos or DSMs, it is usually a cake walk for top tuner. If they let me run in Street Contender, that can also get interesting in the last few rounds - they are usually all 10 second cars at that point.

That would be me (minus the "d") but I don't own a green DSM.

Having so many Evos would sure **** off the locals. They hate it when I show up, let alone 4 of us, haha.

Brandt, how much power is your car making now? Looks like a quick autoXer from your vids...

With the clogged cat it probably was around 375 on a mustang dyno. Should be a lot higher once I get everything fixed up with the tune.

With that power it was HKS 272 cams, intake, ported throttle body, 3" exhaust, FP Black, 1000cc injectors.

Added the GSC S2 cams & Full Race Header along with cleaning out the cat. Soon as I get the tune fixed, I'll be interested to see where the #s are.

This is all on pump gas.

Can I run my DOT Hoosier QTP's at the flashlight drags? Those with the FP Black on my car might really **** them off.

Sounds nasty. You should be around 450 at least. I want those GSC S2's so badly.

Yes, but they'd make you run in the Big Dog (Slicks Only) class. Not that it would matter, but I believe there are some 9 second runners that show up.

I figured you were driving like a Grandma because of him. Your car is really clean. Forgot how much I like the Euro badging on the trunk. Very nice.

I put the wheels on right after I passed you...


Then Jay worked on a new tune for me. He started from scratch and the car runs like a raped ape. IDC's are pretty well maxed, but still within tolerance. It's got a mountain of torque. Best part of it, no more knock.
