BIG THANKS to Chris at Mellon tuning

This past friday I decided to drive down to memphis and have chris tune my car. It was an awesome experince he treated me well and the tune has been great so far. The whole time I was there I never felt like just another customer or customer at all for that matter it was more of just hanging out with a friend after the tune we went and got some food. I had a blast and I dont think I would have anyone else tune my car from now on well worth the drive as well.

here is a DLL of the gains I got



I got alot more tq as you can and its much much smoother overall.

yep I had a good time Evan, it was like hanging out with good friends. I'm so glad you guys made the trip.

The graphs really don't do it justice. We flipped back and forth between the Mellon tune and the stock tune and it's night and day. On the stock tune it made good power for the minimal mods surprisingly but the car was surging badly and slowly struggling to get to redline.

the overlay was done with 23psi on the stock and Mellon tune so the difference is in the fuel/timing/vvt

Im getting tuned by Chris currently, we are just working on my idle issues, but I keep running into problems with the damn car!

So far, Turbotrix couldnt get my car to idle right, so I figured why not give mellon a shot, everyone seems to like him and his work... So I gave him 2 idle logs, and on the second tune my idle is already 1000000x better! I cant wait to start WOT pulls! Both 93 and C16!

Mellon tune FTMFW!

I just got tuned by mellon and this guys work with you to the end; he won't give up till the car is working the way is supposed to. We had a long process due to fuel problems my car was having and it took him like 13 roms but he allways answered my email and logs right away. I'm happy now
