I saw Steve smiling twice all weekend. Once at hooters, and once in this picture. We are going to have to get him drunk next time.

LOL Damn you dave! j/k


that was a very ugly shot of me. Not like I am photogenic anyway.

Thanks to all that participate the tuning session and espeically thanks to both Dave Goldsmith and Roman for setting this up. I had alot of fun and meet alot of new people along with putting faces to the people I know of for a long time.

I hope that everybody enjoyed the new tune and not beat up on the locals too much or get pulled over by cops (hint, hint roman ) .

If you have any questions or need technical help, feel free to email or call me at the shop.

My car was only on the dyno for less than 30mins. I guess my car is the easiest to tune among the others. David should give me cash rebate on the dyno time. Just kidding. My car run stronger and less backfire now. I am satisfy with the result from my Mod so far. Thanks Steve.

So are you saying you're going to organize another one after all the headaches of organizing this one. Count me in, maybe I can find another way to go through an engine.

I wish all the cars were this easy for Steve to tune. I was also really suprised at just how much power Steve was able to extract from your stock set up. Anyways, your car is beautiful, and I would not change a thing on it.

I'm a Sadist at heart.


And yes, as long as Steve is willing to put up with us again, we will definetly be planning another tune day.

That'd be a Tweaking scession

Steve, thanks again, I'm working on my issues... in the single forum, some guy is talking about how the AEM has a F'd up Dwell time !? Or something I'm trying to get details, but he said to try his map, (He Took mine and altered it) and I uploaded it to the ecu, with a vigilant eye on AFR, and it seems better, it's tough to tell in morning rush hour traffic...

How'd it feel driving back with another 200 hp...

Even though I'm not happy with only having 270 (not steve's fault) I'm amazed on how much faster it is over the 148hp Baseline that it was

didnt really get a chance to play with the extra power. i went back with dave and we had to stop every hour to fill his oil. i just took the car up to eureka. cold weather and all....oh my god the power. its more than a little silly in the wet. the first 3 gears are totally useless.

Do all dynojet o2 sensors read 1 point leaner? Or does this particular shop's sensor has too much hours on it.

No, the sensor was fine but the filter was clogged which causes the a/f ratio to look lean. We replaced a total of 3-4 filters over the weekend.

yes, the dynojet wideband setup uses vacuum to pick up the a/f from the tailpipe. The vacuum pump is use to help separate the water from the flume. The filter is there for the pump and gets Contaminated from carbon and water. I think the bottle was filled a few times on every filter change.
