You know I’m in, that should give enough time to add 2 more 1600’s and turn it up to 24-25 LBS on race fuel, hopefully ill be able to make it to a dyno to see how much its laying down @ 16-17lbs.

Yea fuel pressure seemed to be the evil omen of the day, hell I bought the k&n thinking it was best flowing but watching that gauge drop to 20 psi @ 6k I was like oooohhh my god

Thanks again to Dan for setting this up, and Steve for his hard work, and help

Most of you guys know most tuners will not even bother with a car that’s not 100% ready to tune, where Steve was getting in there turning wrenches to help at any chance he could.

Btw I didn’t see him eat or really drink anything during all the tuning, is he super human or something. LOL

The old plugs were fouled and the boost was fluctuated between 12.5 to 13.5. So we had to change the plugs and rerouted the boost vacuum lines.

I had a lot of fun hang out with you guys.

Dan - if you want to setup the next tunning session, please let us know and I will buy mid pipe and 1600 cc. Secondaries. So I can make 400+ hp like Rich's and Dan's FD

I had alot of fun this weekend guys. i wish I could have stayed at the rotorfest longer but customer comes first as always. I hope that everyone enjoys the new tune. Just like everyone said, I like to thank Dan for putting up with me the entire weekend. I know that he must have been tired of me by now staying up late everynight till 3am and up again at 8am.

Whenever you guys have it ready for me to come up there again, just let me know and I'll mark my calender.

thanks


Steve

hahaha, you guys are nuts!! There aren't supposed to be so many fast FDs in the area!
I'll have to talk to martin and see if he wants to have the tuning session down here before we finalize anything.

Anyway as long as everyone doesn't mind driving down to DE next month I'll get everything ready. Martin, just let me know what date you'd like to set this for. I'll post another thread for the other tuning session.

BTW, Steve I didn't mind having you over at all...had lots of fun actually, staying up that late did take a lot out of me though; I am still feeling the side effects.
