I don't know if you hit 500whp with the 205's but it's going to make some awesome torque. I'll be conservative and put you at 490/485.
Just notice that you have cutouts. You just may hit the magic marks. Good luck.

yeah what he said. hows 400ftlbs at 3k never goes below 400 till 6200 and peaked at 490 at around 4500. HP was 501 from 5900-6100. that was on the third run they didnt do much for WOT and to think of it they didnt do much for idle , or really anything for that matter. i am very very not happy that i sat there all day. drive home and on the way it dies like 3 time and i spent 700$. so i guess all they really did was dyno it and give me 2 sheets of paper one with 501 hp and the other for a 700$ bill.

yeah and it runs like crap. i uploaded my tune so i could drive it. theres died all the time and wouldnt idle. well they chared 550 for the tune and then 150 to soder (spelling) two wires on my laptop cord that i had to do earlier adn they broke it. i told them to be carefully. i was just sitting there and the guy came up with this attitude and slammed my cord down set my laptop down and then dropped the connector in my lap and said "i cant do anything now cause my computer wont connect to you PCM and your cord broke" i said " well i had to soider it cause now one it town has one and it will take like 2 weeks to get one cant u just resoider it for me" he kinda rolled his eyes and grabbed the stuff and walked away like 20 min later came back and it was done he showed me it and i said thanks man looks good i apprectiate it, all nice like. i wasnt so happy when i looked at the bill later and he charged 150 to fix it. i could have bought a new cord for half that.
needless to say im not happy and will be takein the car back mon and given them a talkin too. i already told two of my H/C buddies to go there well guess who is gonna tell them to stay away.
the tuner did a bunch of " well is is wrong and this needs to be changed and this (^&^&()^^))^" but in my eyes if your gonna give me half a hair cut al the very least you could do the front i dont care what the back looks like I.E. get it to idle and run right i dont care if it thinks it needs 2% or -4% fuel at idle casue some flippin voltage isnt right as long as i can drive it and not worry about running into someone casue the car dies when i come to a stop and loses power steering and brakes GGGGRRRRRRR!!
sorry but come one i need to vent.

Screw that, I wouldn't have paid them ****!!! I would have told them I would be back the next day and would pay them when they got it right. Also, WTF were you thinking when you agreed to pay $150 for them to solder your laptop wire? Last time I checked, most shops only charged $70 and hour and it only takes me two minutes to solder two wires. Plus, they broke it! Well, you're screwed now anyway, you shouldn't have paid them. I guess they could have kept your car and then you would have had to call the cops but all you would have had to do was start your car and show him the great tune they provided for you. As soon as your car died they would have to release the car to you. Good luck with everything. Put some ointment on your a$$hole cause you got $%&^ed.

Camarokid,
(Casey here)
I did not realize that you were charged $150 to fix your power cord. That is out of line, and I appoligize for that. Call and ask for me, and I will ensure that the situation is resolved.
Its becomes a comunication problem between those making the invoices up front, and those in the back doing the work..
I will say this. I wish people would voice contest of charges when they are being charged rather than later on a forum. I totaly understand however. You were at the shop for a long time, early, and the last thing you probably wanted to do was hang around any longer. If there is ever a concern that you feel your are overcharged, PLEASE let me know, because as I said above, sometimes there is a comunication breakdown from those doing the actual work to those making the invoices. Hitech is growing very large as a company, and our acounting skills are behind the power curve so to speak. (Imagine that, a dozen or so gear heads, and know one wants to do the paper work!!
).
As far as your idle issues. I addressed some of this in one of your other posts, but once again some of it comes back to. If there is a problem please let ME know. If you would have come back as soon as your car started stalling and having idle issues and spoke with me, I would have inssured that the concern was addressed. But a certain disconnection occures once the car leaves for a few days, and then later we hear of the issue.. Its not anyones fault, but you have to realize that we are tuning an average of 3 cars a day, on top of regular mechnical work (Yes I need a serious vacation). So you can see how a tune done two days ago can be lost in the "which car was that again" mindset. Its best for both parties involved to keep ontop of ANY issues that are not resolved from a tune..
Wow, im kinda long winded!!! LOL
Well in closing. Give me a call monday, ask for Casey. Im sure ill probably be lost in the back of the shop somewhere, or on the dyno, but insist to who ever answers the phone that I told you to tell them to get me no matter what. Ill make sure we rectify the the $150 you were charged for fixing your power cord, and we will continue to do what ever we can to correct the idle issues you are having with your combination.
