damn ... i have my car tuned by gaby and all i can say is the car is exceptionally powerful..

the only gripe i have is the car was tuned at 11:0 a/f no matter what i do... full throttle 11.0

cruiseing around town ... 11.0 and as a daily driver it sucks ALOT of gas lol. would love to get a street tune though. to help fuel economy..

my car put down 352whp at 14psi. at 11.0 everywhere.
but right now u have a boost leak thats very audible that needs to be addressed.

Well from talking to the people that were there today, he's tuning more then just one day. I believe he'll be in town til the weekend. So if you're interested in getting tuned call up the shop. I probably won't be able to go until later in the week.

tuned tonight. Ran into a few lil issues with fuel pressure. I have to re-do a couple of things on my fuel system and re-tune. Gaby squeezed out 500rwhp @ 20psi and 398rwhp @ 15psi. We were going to go for a 25+psi run but fuel pressure was begining to drop.

It's getting back up there. That other guy's tune had it's issues. Too rich in some spots, too lean in others. That 588 was a "spike" I guess in the power curve. My power curve now is like 500 after 6.5k til 8k rpm. I should be re-tuning today to reach higher numbers.

UPDATE:
Got the new fuel lines installed and hit the dyno today. And once again fuel pressure was dropping off, so all that hard work with the lines was for nothing. So it was time to go down the list of things that could cause the problem. One phone call later, and a quick drive to my friend Abe's shop, I had in my hands two Supra fuel pumps and a fuel pressure regulator. So I figured I'd change the pumps first and see if that's the problem (they are more likely to go bad instead of the fpr). Thanks to Roger, Kabooski on the forum, we yanked out the two old pumps and replaced them with the new ones in no time.

So we did a pull once again and vuala! Fuel pressure problem was fixed!!! So Gaby fined tuned the car and ended up making 533rwhp/389ft/lbs of torque at 20psi (1.4 bar). He did turned up boost to 25 or so, and the computer did not like it since it is only a 2 bar Microtech. So he adviced me to keep it there until I upgraded to a 3 bar. I'm pretty satisfied with the results. The car actually feels a hell of a lot faster then it did before with the old tune. It pulls REALLY hard, and for a street car making reliable 500+++ hp, it's impressive. Gaby Skern is a great tuner, deff worth the money. He's coming back in November and December. So if anyone missed this round there will be plenty more.

thanx Rey, very impressive #'s, 500+hp way to rep O-town I hope there's pics of this session coming. I should have my stand alone next month. Unless your running 3-400hp plus, I don't think anyone can comment responsibly about producing hp#'s.

the other dyno that gave those 588 numbers I suspect had issues
since they had the torque and HP reversed
and the car feels more powerful to boot now

Hopefully I'll have my car ready with its new setup for december

Gaby tuned a Toyota Starlet tonight with a 2.4 liter tacoma engine
937 RWHP ! they was still tuning when I left
so they might of have broken 1000rwhp
