The following day, Sunday, they had asked him to come by the shop for them to take a look at it but he had to be at work on Monday. The problem could have come from a multitude of things.

When he went to Turbotrix, was his first chance to get his car fixed. However, he left without giving anyone a chance to look at it.

Bottom line is: anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong, there was miscommunication along the way, patience was low, and schedules were full. **** happens.

have you been reading? it wasnt even running fine on race gas he started experiencing the problems while still running race gas, and still on 93, either you have the wrong story or what i read was wrong. but considering it was posted by azaer i dont think so. so apparently there was a problem with the first tune. my point was, contrary to popular belief, shiv is not god mistakes can be made when proper detail and consideration isnt taken on certain cars. not every car will run the same with the same base map, and cars will not run the same on the street as on the dyno.

Bottom line is Congrats to Al he made Azar happy and good luck to all. Good job Al and have fun with ur car Azar. Shiv is a human like the rest of us(not perfect) and he botched this whole Azar deal for one reason or another. Hindsight is always 20/20 and if he could of reanacted the last weeks events I am sure he would of done things a lil different.

Tell you what Shiv - I just got back from the NHRA race where I ran a 9.98 this weekend and I am headed to Pruven tomorrow to watch David Buschur do some AEM tuning - I will be sure to obtain the run #1 dyno sheet for you when I get there

Because it's the first run and it *should* rule out the effects of heat soak and inadequate cooldown. However, the first run is usually worse than the second one since fluids aren't up to temp. Seeing the progression (run 1, 2, 3, etc,.) can give some indication of the tune and/or testing conditions.

So can you post it? Or better yet, just post up the rule file info for the first few runs. Real easy to do. Just zip it and post it as an attachment
