Tunning went great. Steve my car feels awesome to drive again thanks again.

Steve tunned my Aspec 500r 91 pump to a conservative 15.5 PSI and the car feels close to 400hp i did a role on with a C6 Vette with headers, intake and 50 shot spray. We went from 60mph to 165mph 7 tenths of a mile and it was door to door race.The vette made 370hp on motor only and he said he sprayed the hole way.

Later that day I filled the car with 100 rebel pump wich is about 95 octane and tunned to a conservative 18.5 PSI. The turbo just geats happier with every pound of boost never letting off and it feels about 450hp. I am thinking of getting an aquamist meth spray so i can turn it up to 20 to 25Psi

On sunday tunned for 18.5 I did a role with a brand new Gsxr750 from 65 to 170 7 tenths of a mile and he got out about 3 cars then i started pulling him in and passed him at 170. (video soon to come )

Sorry i didnt make it to the dyno on Sunday but I was out till 830 in the morning. I will try to get out to one of the vegas meets in the future to meet everyone.

I had a great time just being around him and learning a few things. I think the street tune is the way to go on most cars.. Sunday we had a issue with my 20B running lean around 4800 rpm (made 250 RWHP @ 5psi and 4800 rpm) . So we took it off the dyno and drove it to my house. We pulled the Jegs fuel filter and it was clogged with a lot of junk. Removed the filter element and installed it and took it out on for a street tune... Did some 4th gear full throttle pulls and @ around 5800 rpm the engine would stumble.. like it was hitting fuel cut.. We stopped for the night and continued Monday afternoon around 5pm.. We went to eat at boulder station and i was looking at my ignition module (it's around 5" X6" box) and when I touched it the box was real hot. We unplugged it and let it cool while we went and ate.. After we got back in the car we decided to give the street tuning another shot. To our suprise the stumble was gone. We got on 95S and did a 4th gear pull and no issues. Did another pull and no problems. On the 3rd pull it came back. We are thinking something is wrong wih the igntion box when it gets warm. Will call Link ECU tommorow and try and see if they can check out the box for me.. The 4th gear pull was real sick.. I'm gonna keep the twins until the winter when a single GT42R gets installed with a E11V2.. Thanks again for all the support for this event.. Thanks again Steve...
