Jeff, thanks as always for letting me use the shop to put my car back together while it was raining cats and dogs outside. And, of course, thanks for the use of your facilities in hosting this event .

Troy, it was awesome to meet you in person; thanks again for setting this whole thing up and I hope meet up with you again some time .

Shiv, I may not of had the biggest gains from last time but I have never felt such a smooth, responsive, linear pull from my car as I do now. Everyone in my car noticed it right off the bat. Thank you for once again transforming my car into an even smoother running roller coaster ride .

Strangest thing with my car. When it boosts now under WOT it gets a surge then the rpms fall off just by about 300 then it starts pulling again. Its like a little spike then hard pull. Anyone have any idea what this could be? Shiv?

I apologize for not posting sooner, but I'm now just parking the car. I must have put close to 500 miles since the tune. I figured it could probaby use the rest until tomorrow.

Troy, thanks for the getting all this together. At the least, I owe a Your car must be a beast.

Shiv, great to meet you and thanks for putting more fun into the car. Thanks for being meticulous in extracting as much safe hp/torque from the car. Also, thanks for getting back to me quickly about my question on the car.

Hi guys,

I'm logging in from Bobby Rahal's house in Ohio (yeah that Rahal ). Finally got a day off to rest a bit. Going back to tune two more Evos tomorrow. Then flying back to CA on Tuesday. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who attended the NJ event. Thanks to Troy for organizing it. And thanks to Jeff and the boys from TT for hosting it. It was a lot of fun and I hope everyone left happy.

Cloud IX-- I'm not sure what you are describing. Haven't heard anything like that before. Especially with something as simple as an EVO IX with an exhaust and flash. Did it just happen once or does it keep happening?

Troy-- I have all the run data on disk. I'll zip it all up and email it to you later this week.

FYI, I got to sit in a Carrera GT today. As well as check out the actual and last Indy car that Bobby Rahal ever raced. Just awesome. It's days like this that make me remember why I'm in this business in the first place!

Cheers,
shiv

Shiv,
It seems like my car has the same similar effect. When I go full throttle it seems to pull then feels a pause then pull again. When I have another chance sometime this week I will see if this happens again.

I am going to see if I can get this on video. Do your rpms climb then drop then start climbing again?

Yes.. please post up a video. I can't even imagine what you are describing.

BTW, Bobby Rahal took me for a country drive in his Carrera GT today
