Chris @ Mellon Tuning = FTW

I would like to start of by thanking Chris again for his willingness to tune my vehicle on a saturday which I know he normally doesn't do. He woke up at 4 am to start making my base map and I had it in my email around 6 am. I got the first log sent at 8 am and thats where it began. We took breaks throughout the day to eat and other things and he was determined to have it all done in one day. I can honestly say I would never get tuned by another vendor. His level of customer service is above and beyond others I have experienced throughout the years and his professionalism is even better. Everytime he sent a revision to my email he explained what he did in it and at what rpm range, he also threw in some free tuning tips. People have to be crazy not to try his services. Here is the dyno comparison sheet from his tune and my JMS tune, as you can see the money was well worth it. I'm just glad I joined the Mellon tuning army

Yes I have an aem wideband and I bought an already premade serial cable off mellons site which was very well made and easy to install.

That looks pretty good! I bet it's night and day from the previous tune. Yes, the better FMIC will help and from that point you're ready with all the pieces in place (minus the double pumper if remaining on E85 and maybe a better O2 housing) to step up to a larger turbo. The comparison is even better as it should put many nay-sayers to rest.

Ya Levar I c my previous tuners fanboys are quiet. Results speak better than words and that's what I got. My base map on 27 psi with 11.3 afr and no timing made 340 torque which more than the previous tune. I'm gonna save for an exedy twin , buschur race fmic, map o2 dump.

Redralli I was on 30 psi

With those parts you will be more than ready in any environment. Are you going to stick with the stock turbo?
