Default Got my Mail Order Tune and Holy Crap!
Finally got PCMFORLESS to Tune my comp.. it made a very noticeable difference!
Its wild how someone can tune your car and not even be there.

I have some videos of me racing the same car to give you an Idea of the differnce it made..

Me and Mach 1(motor)

Before tune

After tune
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iNCMVE2emE

Before tune(Mach1 100shot)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-WfvBS9qyw

After tune(Mach1 100shot)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsO3_PjMLK8

I just couldnt believe the difference it made! I think with some gear it would almost make up the difference with that nitrous pass..

Enjoy

Pretty damn good when a tune can wake up a cam enough to make up over 2 car lengths! 100shot generally makes 125-130hp, so while you may have spent a bit more to make damn near what he is. Except he has to keep spending money to fill the bottle and yours is permanent

From what I was told, by a Mach 1 owner, they're a joke and a disgrace to the original Mach 1s :\

That's pretty impressive! Depending on the year those mach 1's should have over 300hp

Nice results! You picked up a lot of power for sure. Not only that, i'm sure your driveability and throttle response is way better too.

Mail orders tunes are much better then stock, but wait until you get a dyno tune!

PS: That is one of the strangest cam grinds I have ever seen

Well this one runs 10.1 (1000ft) so a bit better than 13.9, lol

He didn't say 10.1s 1/4 mile. He said 10.1s 1000ft. 1/4 mile is 1320ft

Very nice, Bryan does a great job with his tuning. Some 4.10's and that Mach1 will have a little trouble on spray.
