Well Ricky, how do we feel about the numbers and how does she drive ?? Enquiring minds want to know ?? How did she feel when you hit 2nd with that 3200 stall ?? I hope you are happy man.

Damn I'm good.

Man that's a lot of time and money spent on this car... What about that 100 kit you have? just throw that on there and call it a day... you cant expect huge numbers with a A4. but they are very stout numbers!

The gas needle going to move regardless.. its part of racing.. just like parts breaking, its going to happen.

Just take the car out to meets and some track time... bring the smile right back!

I truly feel bad that you are not grinning ear to ear. I figured if you were at least 10% as pleased as I was with my project that you'd be out doing backflips in the street. Sorry to hear about your disappointment Rick.

Fill it up, reset your odometer, do a nice highway cruise trip 100 mile +. Fill it back up and check your mileage, dont trust your stupid gauges. I bet you are at least 20+ mpg highway. LS1Tech has corrupted you as all you seem to care about is peak numbers. Go run the damn thing at the track I'm sure it runs 11's no problem.

here is the problem before the tune it took me a 1/4 tank of gas to go right around 100 miles on the highway and after the tune to come home it took me a 1/2 tank to do the same trip so yea its more than just trusting my gauges the gas is leaving the car faster when i should be getting better gas mileage after a tune yes?

So much for the Torquer cam making torque. That bottom end is lazy all the way to 4500 and even then its only 360 rwtq?? Maybe you should consider a different cam, a custom one from Ed that is matched to your heads and maybe he can take care of you on the tune (free retune) since he's already tuned the car and you aren't happy. Just buy the custom grind from Ed and work out the details. Hope everything works out for you Rick.

Is it me, or does it appear to be running lean up top ??

Never mind, I see the green line is the last run and it appears to be dialed in perfectly at 12.9 - 13 to 1 ......

One more thing, why did the pull stop at 6300 ?? No reason to go to 6500+ ??
