I would like to go to this though I won't be on the dyno. If it is changed to a weekday I(and I'm sure quite a few others) am out.

Well, I called Matassim today to ask about the o2 sensor for the dyno being replaced since I was tuned so rich last month and after a few moments I was told that he made a mistake telling HiHeat that it had been replaced. He told me that it was working fine all along, so this leads me to believe that either it wasn't replaced or that it WAS replaced and they just didn't want to tell me since I had been calling with questions on why my new wideband was reading so rich even after the heat cycling was done.

I think that they do a great job installing and tuning, but I'm starting to feel like after I spent a butt load of money up there, the willingness to make sure that everything was done right, especially the tuning, that the ball is being dropped.

Won't say anything bad about them, but this has got me feeling not so great.... oh well......that's life, right?

D,

You can count me in if it is after July 9th. I would like to see where the car is at after the tune. It would have been nice if MZM would have let us do the tuning up on there dyno. Oh well, they could have made some money...

I won't be able to make anything this weekend, but there is going to be a large event at SAR this weekend. I guess it'll be like NOPI style. Bikini contest, motorcycle trick show, lots of fast cars, car show etc. i guess it starts at 6pm. i'm sure it'd be fun to show up.

j8,

I went with the plx m-300 and have it feeding into my FC Datalogit box so that I can datalog with FC Edit. Found out my A/F ratios were WAY rich from MZM's tune. I think that thier wideband o2 sensor is gettting old on thier dyno. HiHeat said he was told that they just replaced it but when I called a couple of days ago they told me that it was working fine and didn't need to be replaced. I'm still running as rich as 10.4:1 approaching redline in 3rd gear, but I want to make small changes so as not to screw anything up before Mark gets here. At least my car doesn't smell like gas anymore..........

Mark, can't wait for you to get here and unleash the power of the alcohol!

Tony
