It was a big success.... NO ONE BLEW UP....

It was a LLOOOONNNNGGGGG day. It started at 9 am and didn't finish to about 11pm.
The only car that wasn't completed was moosejaw due to several technical difficulties.

Other than that Steve is awesome when it comes to tuning. Everyone is happy and I would recommend him any time..

ill post up my dyno sheet later, i gotta scan it. steve also said the dyno was about 10% lower than normal... i had a couple pulls of my car but i stopped because of technical issues with the car, my A/f was leaning out at about 6k, it ended up being my supra pump giving out.. lucky enough they had only 1 in stock and good thing this happen on the dyno under monitored conditions because i would of blown the motor..

Thank you steve so very much, its been a pain in the *** trying to get you down to florida, but man im glad it finally happened.

For the tune......

I had done the following
Swapped Primaries (850cc vs 550cc)
Oil Change (Royal Purple 20w50)
Borrowed Joe's Plugs which were in good condition at the time.
Fabbed and heat wrapped a new 4" DP
Added Turblown LIM Heat Shield
Fuel Filter was added less than a year ago.

I should have done the following...
Replace Fuel Pump (Had a used Supra Pump)
Wiring Mod for the fuel pump
New Spark Plug Wires

But at least the car didn't blow up this time and i got to drive the car home instead of having it towed by a Kia.

I think the most important lesson learned here is
Dont buy a used fuel pump off of anyone. Buy new!!!!!

Now i have to wait till steve comes round again. But I will be prepared.

I got 330 rwhp corrected, stock twins, large street port and a bunch of other things...

Driveability is MUCH IMPROVED, damn, feels so smooth now, this guy's name should be FD Kan, lol...

This thing pulls like crazy now, before this tune, i ran a 12.7 in the 1/4, let's see what it can do now...

I'm happy with the twins, when they get tired, i'll go with a GT35R setup...

=)
