21st weekend should be good for me. Not sure if there's anyone else needing a tune for now though. If i'm the only one, i'll drive up there. If you have a positive date that you're coming down here, then i'll wait.

probably around 20 whp, but for $1500, you can get almost 100 whp. now that is HUGE!

it will be quite a bit more then 20 whp if you let me fiddle with the stock boost controller as well. if i pull one of the pills out it will be 2-3psi more boost which is where you want to be anyway. it will still taper, but the initial punch will be more noticeable. in addition to the fuel tuning and more ignition timing it could be as much as 50ftlb of torque and 30+ hp.

edit* crappy grammar and spelling
Nice to see someone actually post that. I have looked through a few tunes done by the so called professionals. They are almost exactly the same and many them knock. I also never understood how you could properly tune a car doing three or four pulls. It is just stupid to think that some people buy that. From what I have been reading about you it sounds like you spend the right amount of time tuning cars under different conditions to ensure your tune is solid. Keep up the great work.

You're stock except for meth and 280's and you dynoed at 381? How are you controlling boost?

Kevin

I'm getting everything ready for a tune once I redeploy around December. We've exchanged PM's since I've been in Iraq and I must say that I'm pretty excited about what I've been reading. I have to get a clutch installed and after the break-in period, I'll schedule a weekend appointment in Dallas. I'll drive up from Killeen and spend the weekend if I have to in a hotel if I have to. I'll send you a PM so that you can see how things are looking on this end.

I have to give a big thanks to Kevin for tuning my car this week. He knows his stuff and the car is a different beast all together afterwards. Thanks Kevin.

Had Kevin help me put my new coilovers on tonight, great guy all around and definitely knew his stuff. Even had me sit in the car when he was doing the final measures on my car. VERY VERY VERY impressed, will definitely be back for a tune soon!
