Three great tunes for saturday. I am even happier and more pleased than last time. Not only does Steve tune cars, he is a trouble shooting wiz, which is great to nip issues in the bud. Thanks to Z beater for organizing this tune, and to Steve for his great work.
I am not sure where my torque ended up, but I officially broke the 300 rwhp mark, finally. I finally climbed my Mt Everest., this car is nuts. HP to weight ratio is about 1 to 7.25.

PS
Thanks to Zbeater, Zack and Bmwgirl for helping to make some cardboard duct work, you had to be there.

Congrats Woundup7! I'm hoping to get to the 250hp mark soon... I just have to fix a broken diff mount and find some boost leaks... (damn those are hard to pin down...)

Down the road, I will have to get my car tuned by Steve. Of course, after I get all the bugs worked out.

Dave, thank you so much for setting this. It was just the right timing. Zach thanks for hanging out with us a giving us a hand. Steve - you rock, what more can I say.

Chris - I'm really happy for you and glad to be able to support you in your quest.

Hope all the tunes went well today.

Things went great. All the cars yesterday were over 250whp.

Chris, remember that all of your numbers were made on a dyno dynamics. There is a 15% correction factor. You have had a 300hp car for a while.

Oh, and you should have seen the duct work that we made on sunday. Zack and I were professional HVAC engineers

Finally I would like to thank Steve. I was impressed with your knowledge and ability to tune. If you ever come back to the NW get a hold of me, I will need more boost soon enough.

Now all the Turbo FB's, let's get off our asses and make a video.

How about them videos you promised Dave? And your dyno sheets! Saturday was almost a complete bust for me. Although I finally got to see Dave's car be drivable for the first time since the original engine was in it.

Dave,

If you got time start another thread with your videos and then we all can post up our dyno sheets. Steve tuned 16 cars in the nw this summer, and they all drove off of the rollers under their own power. Pretty good average.,
