Im a dummy but I see the bald spot at the line 4th run.
also noticed it spun 2-3 pass RIGHT when the front tire were getting weight back on them. from the 2nd bonce. I bet the power was coming on there too, dose it normally do 2 little bounces like that? Or smooth

Back 10 years ago, I wanted to start my own business. Started up "ProStreet Motorsports". Filed with the IRS; got federal and local licenses. It was a part time deal as I had a full time job. Had one guy working for me but that turned out to be sour, ended up doing all of the work myself. It was easy as everyone local knew my attention to detail and ability to fix **** that no one else could.
I probably should have just made the jump(2 years in) but kept playing it safe working the normal 40 at the dealership and working the nights and weekends on the other stuff. I have easily tuned over 300 cars over the last 10 years or so. Made some good friends and met some ******** but it just comes with the business.
Right now, I still operate on a part time basis, do some AMS consulting for guys around the country, and tune some LS-combos here and there. I've come to find out that I want to work smarter. I get plenty of guys that come looking for help, you can usually tell who to avoid and who to help. There is nothing like scheduling a job that should take 2-3 hrs, figuring for 4 hours at the worst case and it taking 2 days because of how f**ked up it is.
There are soo many hacks around now its not funny and I usually get a call on if I can fix it and how much. I've generally avoided those long hour, low pay deals.
I've found a local guy that has the attention to detail that is on par with mine and a very fast learner. He has been itching to get into the performance market and ended up buying a Mustang dyno. We're working together on projects for the time being.
