He's who's doin my motor right now, and as soon as he's done, we'll see what he can do with a new motor.
He tuned my last one which rocked. Got tuned @ 10 pm one night raining... Although a couple times losing traction @ 90 mph in 3rd gear got kinda scary.
It was faster than ever, can't wait what to see what he can do when I have a non ~80k motor.

Tony
The map weaklink is talking about from me is my proprietary base map. The basemap has been recalculated to the rich side. Weaklink was also warned that he needs to verify the afrs before trusting the maps.
Everybody
I want to reiterate what Tony just said
plugging in a map that is car specific is asking for trouble regardless of the closeness of the bolt on mods. Subtle differences in fuel flow or pressure can and will be catestrophic. In the end it is your engine and your money. Tuning is a painstakingly slow process that can only be accurate if you know what is going on or hire someone who does.
I personally do not tune other people's cars for any number of reasons. Tony does tune cars and does a damn fine job too----> be smart --listen to him!

Jeff,
I hope I was not out of line for mentioning your maps. I only did so since they are posted in the maps section. I agree entirely with what you and Tony have both said. That being said, for me and for many others, shared maps (with caveats) are our best places to start. I am 3 hours from the nearest "tuner". I have a functioning WB 02 monitor. I watch the PFC for knock. Prior to running your "maps," I was relying on the base APEXi map. How's that for unreliable? Now that I have something to work with, I can learn faster. Thanks again Jeff, and again I hope that I have not offended you by mentioning you here. Share information freely, use it responsibly.
