Tuned by Steve Kan
Last night thanks to CCarlisi, I got tuned by Steve Kan. He's doing a bunch more cars today, but I thought I'd share my results.
First of all, I want to say that Steve is an awesome guy. It doesn't even need to be said that he is an awesome tuner, but he's just a great guy. He took the time to explain what he was doing to the rookies in the group (i.e. me) and answered all my questions. Not to mention that he flew up from Texas to tune. Thanks a bunch Steve!
Anyway, the car was on the dyno under Steves watchful eye for about 2 hours. He did some 7 psi pulls, some 10 psi pulls, and some 12 psi pulls. He also did a few part throttle no boost pulls (which made a whopping 105 hp!) to tune driveability. The results:
At 10 psi the car made 237.1 hp and 213.1 ft.lbs of torque
And at 12 psi it made 260.2 hp and 228.3 ft lbs.
This dyno chart shows the top three pulls at 7,10, and 12 psi. (from top, 10,7,12)

And this one is the 12 psi only chart

So, whataya think? Mods in sig.

And thanks for the compliments everyone. I was impressed with the numbers, having only dp, intake, pfc. KDR makes a good motor!

Very nice smooth powerband. It looks like nice conservative fuel tuning. Do you know what kinds of changes he made to your ignition timing, if any? How does the car drive around town?
The more I hear about Steve Kan, the more I want my car tuned by him.

If you tell me where to look, and what to look for, I can tell you whether or not he made changes. But I'm a total newb when it comes to the Power FC. So walk me through it.

Motor is just rebuilt. I wanted it ported, and I swear I told the good folks at KDR that, but it isn't.

Exhaust ports were left untouched.

Just had mine tuned by Steve last weekend here in Phoenix. Car drives far better than it ever has. Since we only have 91 octane here in AZ, he tunes to 10.8. In states with 93 octane he'll tune from 11.1 to 11.3.
It was truly awesome to watch him tune for driveability on the dyno. He takes the car through the rpm range in 500 rpm increments. You can actually hear the car improving as he's making changes at each condition. Kinda like watching a world-class rotary surgeon. Great guy and awesome results. Very happy I had it done!!
