Big thanks to Shiv and to Troy.

I was a bit dissapointed in how my car performed. I have an 03 VIII with the V390 (except that I have an EBC rather than allowing the Xede to control boost).

Since my last tune (322hp/305tq), I added the TME with the 10.5 hotside, Nisei FMIC and hard pipe, and SMART (about $2,500 in hardware and software, not including install and tune).

After my tune today, I am at 340hp and 297tq. The hp gains appear to be consistent accross the curve (biggest gains at the lower rpm).

I am showing nice gains in tq at 3k RPMs (thanks TME). At about 3800 RPMs my new tq curve drops below my tq curve from my previous tune and stays below the curve thereafter.

While I am reasonably happy (but not overjoyed) by my gains in hp, I was expecting to see nice gains in torque from my tme and 10.5 hotside.

I know that I would have done a bit better without the EBC, but I had that for both tunes. I know that an FMIC does not generate hp or tq, but did I give some away to this? Did the SMART react differently because I did not give boost control to the Xede?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I am simply amazed at shiv's ability to tune the car.
56whp and 65lb-ft gain with only ecutek ecu reflash. Simply amazing!

I really enjoyed my drive home on the NJ turnpike. Quicker spool up and great top end power. My fourth gear acceleration now feels like my third gear prior to shiv's work.

I would like to thank shiv who spent more than an hour with each vehicle (he must have performed at least 8 or 9 pulls on the dyno w/my car).
I would also like to thank troy and turbotrix. I couldn't be happier with the results.

John & Stephen - you're most certainly welcome

Stephen - hopefully soemone can chime in a bit on some of your questions; thought for sure the TME would supplement the tq figures .

i'm 100% satistied with my tune..shiv took his time, did more pulls than i could bear to watch, and ended up with some good numbers...went to the track afterwards, couldn't hook up on the launch with the advans, and ran a 12.5 @112.5....nothing great, but with a warmer day, hopefully i'll get some better results...anyway..nice meeting everyone, thanks shiv, and troy for setting it up...

Todd - nice meeting you today; let's get the 11's going

Shiv can dilly-dally on the dyno - especially when he puts his headphones on to listen to his favorite Depeche Mode song , but he sure is friendly, accommodating, and patient - much unlike some

Shiv.. my printout did not have my hp and torque on it. I just realized.
WHP was 348 but do not recall the torque.

Amazing how this feels so different! I went straight to Englishtown and ran a 12.2 at 112.8 The amazing thing is how smooth it feels. It feels just like factory but with much more power. THANK YOU SHIV!

throw on the stock FMIC and see if you can get in for a few pulls. You can do the swap in a half an hour and youll have both maps. see if you can get that torque back!!
