pulled my computer today and took it to jesse bubb from wait4me performance,he live like 2hours from me.what a huge difference the tune made.he found a ton of stuff wrong in the tune speed and performance did.it was bad enough they didnt turn of vats but the whole tune was fu#ked up!!jesse charged me $75.00 for the tune,cant beat that!i walked into his house and he must of had 100 car computers stacked up by his work area.i will prob take the car back to him for a full dyno tune,he charges like $275 for a dyno tune..any way check out the new video!!!all probs from before fixed with new tune!!

Yeah start up is fixed, not sure about it being lean,when I was there getting it programed he changed alot of parameters!I dont exactly know what he changed but I know timing was way way off!!I need to work on getting exhaust on next few days so I can take it out for a good drive and really test it!!driving around the neighborhood really isn't enough of a test!I Also need to look into that mil code and if that lamp I used from radio shack will work!

That thing sounds awesome!! Its kinda disturbing to know street and performance screwed up the tune so bad, especially when you dish out the kinda cash they ask for everything... Get that exhaust on and lets see a video of it going down the road!!!!

Look at the latest pic's of my car, thats the stock 327 springs (non A/C) with 1 coil cut, stance is perfect on 17's in my opinion, bet it would look just as good with the 18's.. what is your front tire size?

any problems with rubbing at full lock? I went with 235's because of all the issues people had with 245's on the front..

This is why I have bad mouthed Street and Performance swap parts, its all just basic street rodder garbage, and most people that buy there stuff end up being very unhappy!!

I have talk with Jesse about doing a mail order tune, but if I ever get mine running it will go straight to Mike Norris for dynotune,
