??? what what what ???

 

Yeah one car showed up with a broken apex seal and another spun a bearing with too thin of an oil on a fresh engine it was already on its way out when it got put in the dyno and after a little tuning Steve noticed the vibration getting worse and stopped tuning it

 

Oh wow..... that ... blows my mind. Did they not know their cars were broken? Well I am glad to hear that it wasn't the tune that did it, you scared me for a sec there.

That would really suck to blow an apex on the way to the tune (or have a bearing go bad)

 

The broken seal he was unaware of but Steve diagnosed it as soon as he got the car on the dyno and started hittin the gas... The spun bearing as well they were unaware of. Thankfully RickRX7 was nice enough to lend his trailer to take the spun bearing FD home while Rick's car was being tuned... SO he missed half of his tuning session taking those guys home. Super cool guy

 

My first run was 286.3 using the base map and my final tune was 300.3 I would have gotten more pictures of my tune, but I had an errand to run.

 

what are your mods rick?^

 

Hope you had an uneventful drive back over the mountains. It was nice meeting you at the Taco 7.

nice what boost levels was the dyno at?

 

Well, Steve was in the car, but I think it was up to 14 on the boost gauge or .9 on the commander

 

We had a good drive home
thanks
Never been to Taco 7, though

 

I had a great time with you at Taco 7 as well! The drive back was HELL!! Rain, lotsa wind and traffice until Yakima. When I was trying to pass some of the truckers, the buffeting was incredible!!

Just ran at today's Autox and the car was awesome. I can't say enough of tuning. It really makes the car fun!

If any of you guys are in the Boise area, please reach out. I'd like to show the same hospitality as you extended to me.
