So the tuning wasn't for max hp as nobody wanted to be towed home.

We had a total of 9 cars that tuned, one didn't get completed because of unknown issues.

But everyone running twins made 310-320 for reliable and daily driving.

Single guys made 320-403 as these were all also conservative tune for daily driving almost. Plus some of them had new motors and wanted to enjoy the car a bit longer before forking up more cash.

I made 320whp and 267 ft-lbs on 12 lbs of boost w/ stock motor and turbos. Very impressed with my torque it is a bit higher then a lot of twins I have seen on dyno graphs at that boost.

I was very impressed with Steve on how he diagnosed most of the problem, as two of the cars were taken apart then had their issue fixed the first time around, and like magic it was back up and running perfectly.

Issues which I know would of taken other owners a couple of days or even weeks to figure out, then taking their cars to a shop.

Twomuchboost4u can contest to that.

I would have thought that the LS1 FD would have put down more power. What does he have that limited him to 350RWHP? I thought most LSX guys average 400+. Was it all the smog equipment?

Does anyone know who owns that silver FD with the C-west kit and i think racing hart rims?

THanks. I remember seeing that FD at American River College.

Haha, believe it or not the car is still not running right. My secondaries are bad, I have to swap them out or get them flow tested, I think that was the only thing that was holding me back from tuning. But yeah for sure when I get it running, we'll go look for that WS6 friend of yours haha jk.
