DISCLAIMER: I've known shop owners around the state for many years and have very good relationships with every single one of them. This post is in NO WAY meant to discredit or offend any of the shops or shop owners: APS, B&R, Alternative, Powerhouse, Humble, XP, 1% etc etc etc.
First pull and the last pull the way you let the customer go.
Great power gain and AFR tuning there !!! WOO-HOO!!!!

Here is an example of why I talk **** about Ed Wright. I got this email on 3/31/12.
Glen
I had you tune my Red GMC a while back. I've installed an EPS 218/222
0.596"/0.598" cam from Geoff, per your recommendation. I had Ed Wright tune it
after the install, due to the fact that you were tied up until after I needed
tune (I was going on a long road trip and needed it safe to drive). The truck
has run horrible since he retuned it; it dies at idle, has no power (way less
than stock) till after 4,000 RPM and then starts pulling. I re-researched the
cam, talk to Comp Cams, talked to Geoff and everything says it should not loose
any power compared to stock. Geoff told me I may have put the cam in wrong and
that would definitely affect when the power came on. Well, I pulled her apart
last night, the cam is timed correctly with the timing marks. So, I checked the
intake lobe centerline with a degree wheel and came up with 111.5 degrees (cam
card says 111 degrees, so pretty close). The one weird thing I found, when I
pulled the plugs they are a very dark brown on the porcelain; so, it's obviously
running very rich (when I pulled the plugs out after your tune, when it was
stock, they were a beautiful very light tan..."lean is mean").
Long story short, I need you tune my truck in a bad way...very bad. Will you
please set me up an initial appointment so you can look it over?
Let me know. Thank you, sir.
Best Regards,
J N

THE END.
Re dyno the car, and she made 438/405 with cutout open, before it was 429/401
so there 9 rwhp/ 4rwtq to my ls6 intake and stock ported TB.
pretty disappointed for the amount of money that i spent will have Glen to re-tune her and we'll see if she's going to make more power.
the temperature today is around 78 not that it matters much.

Can you 2 stop comparing your dicks on this thread?
What he prob meant by retune is that he thinks it is a fresh part and prob needs time to settle in before it makes better number with another tune. You know, the same reason people think that when they dyno a fresh engine and after "break in" they go redyno to see the power they picked up?
But none of you care about that. Please stop. The thread is going no where now.

Tim with the Procharged 02 CE T/A. Brought the car to APS for a retune after he installed a cam. Abel tuned it before the cam with just the Procharger. The car had 60lb Deatchwerks injectors that Abel sold him.We called Deatchwerks and verified that is what he had. Here is the IFR and PE table we found in the tune. And not just me. Bo at APS read the file out of it before I even got there. He found the samre thing so it's not like I'm making this up.
#87
May, 2007. The great tuner at Abel didn't even have his own HP Tuners. He had to borrow mine to tune a 06 Cobalt. After i showed the great tuner how to use the software, here is what the kid ended up with for $500. I had nothing to do with this tune, just provided the lap top and HP Tuners cable. Load tune file 6 and then the stock file as a compare and do a comparison summary.
#88
I have lots more..... but I'm done
To the original poster Ray, If you are not happy with your tune and think that is your problem, just say the word and I will put the tune in your car you started with and refund all the money you paid me for the tune and you can take your car to the great tuner at ABEL.

Injectors are intentionally scaled down to keep the timing tables dynamic.
I know its a bit over your tuning capabilities, but when someone hands you over a great tune, maybe you should pay attention, because, honestly, this is pathetic.
#91
Oh please. Don't make me post more pics. The timing tables aren't scaled, the VE table isn't scaled, The MAF table isn't scaled, or any other table that should be scaled in a scaled tune. When he arrived at APS his O2s were so covered with black soot they were dead. As were his plugs. Why isn't this one tuned in SD oh great SD tuner?
#92
Andrei just thinks he is the only one in the OKC area that can tune.
#95
gains from only 5500-6600 and up arent that good for everyday use. I hope some hp under the curve can be gained with a tune..Anyway, my FAST setup did a bit better but from 4000-6400, but its 92mm ported...LS6 is a potent piece!
#96
It's hard to tell on the picture but indeed it gained 5-10whp 4100-5200 and up from there. Nothing was ported/matched on this car. Obviously different cams and cubes would affect it differently. It also depends on what your every day use is
#97
Question for Glen, would you call yourself a professional tuner or a hobby or "side job" tuner? Do you have a company name or are you registered with the state as a business? Just curious what level you have taken your expertise to since I have not heard any mention of your personal shop and see no contact or business info in your sig. Thanks.

whats the chamber CC on these heads and what pistons in the motor flat top or dished
what kinda compression does this motor have it seems like it maybe a 9:1 motor
i have a LQ9 bottom end heads from MM98 that he/someone in okc ported and a comp shelf cam 238/240 112 deal its aprox 11:1 motor and made not much less and you have way better heads cam then me

#100
They are 64cc and I believe it has flat top piston, since the block is lq9. Track times will tell more about the power the cars making. I just don't have the time yet to hit the track.
I'll close this thread with track times.
