why wait for steve kan. when you have a tuner here

Everybody waits for steve kan (No effence Steve. Dont take this personal) or Brian for there car to get tunned and sometimes gets the power they want and some dont.


So i decided to take my car to Alex (lopez Racing). He did the motor (street port W/ 2mm apex seals) and he did the tune on My Greddy T78 with external aeromitive fuel pump.

Because the Jacobs ignition system wasent putting enough spark we made 430hp @ 12psi and 478 @ 17psi. BTW when we did the 478hp run we stopped the car @ 6700rpms. Which means that if we would of kept going to 8000rpm i know i would of gotten 10-13 extra hp on the 478.

The car runs nice (killed a 600cc yamaha last week)

So if any of you are still waiting to get the car tunned. Take it to alex. Just go there once & see the results on the other cars. Shane with the red 1st gen made 530 @ 21lbs

i didnt say steve is better but from other dynos with my turbo on a street thats the most ive seen on low boost. it usually takes 15lbs to get 430. So the proof is there

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW (BESIDES ROGERS CAR) WHOS CAR BLEW BECAUSE ALEX TUNNED THE CAR



the only reason why we stopped at 6700rpms was because the ignition system wasent giving enough spark

/\ LOL oh and for that 1/2 bridge motor. SOLD IT! too loud, got annoyed of brap brap brap brap

BTW so whens this run going to happen? dont get upset cause your still running 13's


edit: one thing that some people dont like is the fact that when alex tunned the cars is if your missing something hell let you know. If you dont go by his rules he just wont touch the car. DO IT RIGHT! DO IT ONCE!
