Saw the show. MAd props to Shiv but dam that was a poor excuse for a tuner show. What the hell. The guy even told the owner. Yeah we put in some cams with lots of duration and lots of overlap. I think it was discussed that too much overlap is bad. ??????
Anyway, goodjob Shiv. You looked a little frustrated to- maybe from dealing with those boneheads.

That show is a Freaking JOKE. Hell they should have had the camera on Shiv at all times. They had no clue on what to do with the car. They said "WOW its Fast, it handles, and it looks like a shougn warrior, what would we change". They didn't even show the customer thanking Shiv, cuz they wanted his credit .

Shiv nice job .

I wouldn't bash the show too hard. I mean come on... the guy got "$5000" of free mods. (probably closer to $6500)

For the minor trouble of them screwing up a few facts and making me peel off the vinyl, I'll be the first in line for this kind of treatment!

Yep.. it's the same kind we I use. It belongs to 4 Star Motorsports in Toronto.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It was a fun and rewarding experience to mess around with jamevos car. The TT guys, in person, aren't bad. They are quite nice and knowledgable. It's just that something happens during the editing portion that makes them look a bit over-animated and dim-witted (myself included of course!) I'm just a little bummed out that they didn't spend more time testing the final product. It was awfully fast and the 0-60 time really didn't do it justice. But who am i to complain? I got to say "hella tight" on national TV.

Shiv V.

PS. The whole $5000 budget bit was filmed after the car was built up. That's just a result of what we managed to get on the car. At first, they wanted us to come with a 550HP+ Stage 3 package. But lead times (they contacted me a week before the show) weren't sufficient so that was quickly ruled out.

I agree and I would also be pulling off the vinyl right in the parking lot after they give me the keys

Yeah, i was expecting some pump gas figures higher than 250 for all of the mods, I have all of the same except, no 10.5 hotside, or no XEDE (yet) this weekend may differ.

True, although it's like secretly making fun of your stupid, rich uncle who hooks you up @ christmas... he may be nice, but still all the cousins know he's a little off

It was higher. I recall the final pump gas figure being a bit over 300whp. (Dave-- your thinking of the C&D mag car which made 277whp on a mustang dyno on pump gas).

Jamevo8-- did they give you the dyno sheets?
