Default Had the car tuned today...

Chris at MTI tuned my car, and damn, that guy is good.

I dont know much about the previous owner of the car except he wasnt very smart. When I bought the car, it had a LT1 T56 in it, which caused me to break 5 slave cylinders and apparently it was tuned somewhat prior to today.

Chris said it pulled almost 30 degrees of timing at one point.

The Results

Baseline run 311.1 hp / 329.1 TQ
after tune 352.7 hp/ 361.9 TQ

So, 41.6 hp gained and 32.8 on the TQ side. Best mod yet.

I know its not anywhere near most of you guys, but its a start.

Thanks again Chris.

I'll post the graph later, the pic is too big and I dont have a way to resize it at work.

No problem, glad you are satisfied!
I may have said it wrong (dislexia owns me) but the whoever tuned the car first had 32 plus degrees of timing in it and it was knocking back 5-7 degrees.

Yes, you can definately feel the power difference. I never thought my car pulled as hard in third as it should have. Now I do.

I'll be posting the graph here in a few minutes. Trying to get my pics from Galveston uploaded.
