Default Tuned by Bluecat

Finally after a lot of persistence I got a hold of Phil and got my car tuned. This guy is an awesome tuner and great guy!

Very nice! I'm running avery similar setup only on a LQ9 6.0. What kind of air intake box do you have? The MAF is usually not a restriction at your power level

I have the stock air box with the slp lid. All I can say about the maf is that the results don't lie. We pulled the maf off and the car picked up about 17 rwhp.

SD all the way. I've seen from others who have used Bluecat's dyno that it reads pretty low.

He sure is! Even with the ms4 it runs so smooth. I had a lot of problems with surging and bucking after a mail order tune from a major sponsor on here. Trailered the car to Phil and he had the drivability problems fixed in less than an hour.

Nice car! I can't vouch enough for Phil as a tuner and a person. What I like best about Phil is the time he'll spend on part throttle and driveability to smooth out the surges and hiccups to the point where a mild setup like mine is very close to stock. How's the valve train noise with those LSK lobes?
