Default easy come easy go !!!

As some in here might know I picked up Terrys 98 RS Camaro w/ built 5.3 LS conversion about a month ago. And sadly to after putting a new exhaust on it a week ago he heard the car and said he had to have it back .I told him if he was serious I needed the flow by the weekend because after the weekend it was getting a 12bolt and full suspension upgrades and the car would be alot more to buy back! I was hoping for some 10.7 out of it N/A and mid 9's on the bottle. I ended up selling it back to him last night He sold it to me for a great deal and we have been friends for a long time so I had to unleash it back to him Now I need to get back to working on the T/A !!!

It was hard to let it go but I know he loves that RS and it would cost alot for him to replace it.

Yes I still have the same WS6 hopefully it will be back out on the roadway soon. It needs a tune bad !!!

I need mine tuned too but it is one that will take too much time for him to do when just here for a couple days and other cars lined up. I had him do two of my cars in the past and he did a "good" job but not an "excellent" job tuning them. He was in a time crunch for both so I understand but wouldn't do that rush job again.

Mine might take to much time with the bigger cubes and solid roller set up oh and the Hawaiian thing lack of Mola. Mike has tuned most of my cars I would just drop it to him and pick it up after a few days.

Jeremy, What up ? I had the T/A first then fourth so NO but atleast it ran when you had it

I guess he only did a good job on my Vette when stock it made 334/348 rwhp and after just a tune it made 387/380 rwhp so i guess 53 rwhp w/ just a tune is just OK not he did a Excellent job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never seen a car pick up that on just a tune. Not saying it can't be done but that thing would have to be be so far detuned from the factory that it's that low. I had him tune my car years ago. It went in with heads and cam and hypertech with 385 rwhp l left with 409. Didn't pick up much but the drivability was ok. Not great and it could have been better. My twin turbo vette he tuned in a couple hours that tells you right there that it wasn't optimum. It had poor start up and cold running and I ended up learning how to tune it. Was at 13 psi then I turned it up to 23 psi and tuned it my self slowly. I've seen many cars tuned and "my two experiences" the tune wasn't great. Good but not great. I'm not knocking him and I think if he took the time needed they would have been great. I'm just saying that if he's flying in then he wouldn't have the time to tune my radical setup in a couple hours. It just is not going to happen.

By the way Joe man up and do something other than bolt ons and see how that works haha lol. Just ****** with you man.
