Default Got the SS tuned today!!

I brought the car by Mike Norris Motorsports today for a tune because I suspected that my stock tune was pretty far off. Well I ended up being very impressed with the numbers my car put down and with Mike's abilities. Ended with a gain of 27 hp and 24 lb/ft! Pretty damn sweet I'd say1 I decided to post both the STD and SAE graphs. Oh and the car only lost 6hp/6ft-lbs with the cutout closed.

Car also has a ported TB, Lid, and a FTRA (which does nothing for dyno numbers)

Will be going tonight! My previous best was 13.35 @ 105 on street tires. With the tune and the ET Streets I have now I think 12s should be attainable.

Nice. Good numbers for an A4 with next to no mods (stock exhaust), and a huge pickup from tuning.

With that power on ET Streets and being an auto, I think 12s are well within your sights. Let us know how it goes.

Couldn't make it out to the track last night, I should be going tomorrow night though. But I'll have another trick up my sleeve besides the tune though.

Nice numbers. Sounds like you got a converter, you will definately be in the 12s now.

Well the box that the converter was in was mangled all to hell by FedEx. I don't trust the converter now, so I guess that'll have to wait. Still excited about tomorrow night though.

Well I got rained out at the track last night so I didn't get to run. I left for work for a month this morning so I won't get another chance to run for a while.
