Default Initial Lashway experience

Dropped off the V with them today, while its always unsettling leaving your ride with someone you don't know, however I left knowing it was in good hands. Eric was great answered any question I may have had (and then some) took his time to show me the shop and give me a quick run down on who they are and where they are going. I pick up my car tomorrow but have no doubt everything will be as it should be. Id recommend them to anyone needing work in the WPB/Miami area.

They're definitely some good guys. Always willing to answer questions and helping to figure out how to accomplish your goals, and they really know their stuff. I'm looking forward to some dyno time in the near future.

Thanks guys. MIADragon brought his 05 V in in hopes that we could improve the tune that was in there from Magnacharger. We also prepped the car for the Power Tour which he is currently on now. I improved some wiring, rerouted some other items and made sure the vehicle was safe to be driven that distance.

We also installed some high flow cats.

Baseline tune was pretty low, and IAT's we're through the roof (which explained the lack of power in this particular case). Upon closer inspection, we found that the heat exchanger had not one drop of coolant in it. It had been run dry for god knows how long. Unfortunately this also killed his pump that came with the maggie. Fortunately we were able to use a pump from a Ford Lighting in its place which worked like a charm. Some fresh coolant and a fresh pump and IAT's we're spot on.

I'll have to check the final numbers, but the smile on his face said it all. I got a call- he claims "a night and day difference".

We'll post the video and before/after graphs up when we have a second. Too busy here.

Sitting in my closet taunting me every time I open the door. 2 and half more weeks left in this summer term and then I am cracking down on the car so I can finally bring her in for some dyno time!
