Your impressions: Before and after Shiv's custom tuning
I'm getting set to go north to Vishnu now. I'm wondering if any of you out there can explain the difference between your stage one signature evos before and after Shiv custom tuned it. I am especially curious about the xflash with the xede. Can anyone take a few minutes to give the before and after stories.
Also, Shiv or Brett: should I show up with a couple of gallons of the race fuel I like to mix with?
By the way, I was at a big family Christmas party yesterday and my cousins and an uncle or two were so amazed at my evo that they kept asking to take it for test drives with their wifes, brothers, and dads. It was a lot of fun. These are Z28 type guys but with a little more sophistication. One has a 1000 dollar deposit on a the new v8 Audi S4 and he about wet his pants when he drove my evo.

Hey Eric,
Your call actually made me laugh. I had this wierd "out of computer" EVOM experience where it was like I was on EvoM but Shiv was ACTUALLY sitting in my car talking to you about, well, you know who.
Of all the things I enjoyed about the day, two stood out:
First, Shiv gave me a ride in my own car after he had finished. It was pouring rain and he was flying around corners on streets that were crowned the WRONG way for the corner. ****, I had no idea my car could do that. I convinced we defied at least one or two laws of physics. I am definitely going to take some driving classes.
Second, but really dumb, when my car was on the dyno and at high rpms, it was kind of amazing how the tailpipe of a little 2.0 has enough flow to blow the chain with its caution sign completely sideways.
By the way, with 96 - 97 octane my car peaked out at 276 hp on Shiv's dyno. Not bad at all. I have a BMW M5 story but it deserves it's own thread.The Dyno Images are at the very end of the page and the following page...
