Thanks for all the kind words guys, it's been a long time but it is certainly paying off!

Congrats! I am super excited about my car now!!!

Actually it was 6th gear which is 1:1, this thing accelerates like a motorcycle. I'm fairly certain my goal shouldn't be a problem next time we go back to the dyno.

Thank you, "done" do you mean all the work or the dyno?

Christ almighty! Did the dyno even have a load on it? How does the torque curve look? Sounds absolutely orgasmal.

So we went back to the dyno to work on some of the mid range, the car is alot more drivable, the tune is really starting to come around. Big thanks to my buddy Mandi for all his help!!!

I also spoke with Logan (GtoRx7) and he's given me some really good info which we'll try next time we go back to the dyno, thank you Logan.

How is the injection system working for you Al? Were the straight port injectors a bitch to tune? Looks sweet and seems like a logical place to put the primaries.

The tune wasn't difficult, the AEM is pretty easy to tune. I'm not sure I understand your question but just to be clear my primaries are on the throttle bodies and the secondaries are in front of the velocity stacks. The secondaries start blending in pretty early and the primaries are completely shut off by 5500.

Hope that answers you question
