Default I got tuned at TTP today!

Just wanted to say that Matt and all the guys at TTP are a great bunch of guys and I had a great experience there.

There was an issue at the beginning all of which was my fault though, but Matt got it all straightened out and it was on to the pulls.

I will post up the dyno sheets and all the mods tomorrow though. It has been a long day and I need sleep right now.

But I just wanted to get this big thanks out to Matt and his guys before I went to bed.

Yes Matt the the guys were great yesterday. It was fun hanging around the shop all day!!! Anyone looking to get a great tune or work done I highly recommend these guys. The only issue I had was the damm flat tire I got on the trailer on the way home!! Oh ya and impulse, you forgot to mention that the cops were already at the garage where you keep the car because of a noise complaint!!!

Heres the mod list:

Afr 205 66cc heads with the spring upgrade
Thunder Racing 1 pc pushrods
ARP head bolts
Thunder Racing modified oil pump
160* thermostat
Thunder Racing Custom Grind Cam
214/230 .601/.575 117 LSA
Fast 90 w/Nick Williams throttle body
AEM Brute Force CAI
Walbro 255
Ford Green top 42# injectors
Kooks 1 3/4 headers w/catted mids
Muffler delete(which will be changed, way too loud now)
Spec stage 3 clutch setup

On to the sheets...............

SAE


Uncorrected


I am happy with what came out of the car for my first time doing any of this. Matt left it a bit rich in order for when I change the catback to compensate for that. He said I will pick up a few more #s after I change the pipes.

As I said before, I had a great experience and all the guys there were great.

Yeah the cops were at the garage about a half hour after i got the car back. It is definately way too loud now with a muffler delete so I will be going to the store today to order up some exhaust components, lol.

Oh and a quick note about the cam numbers, the high LSA is for an added FI later so I figured insted of changing the cam again later I would do it now and whatever I go with later.

Awesome numbers.

And TTP customer service has no limits as Matt actually gave me a ride to a hotel so that I can drive my car home the next day.

Untouched as in? The heads are from Thunder racing, ported and polished if thats what you mean.

I will be definately adding a maggie sooner or later, I want to beef up the rear end before I get into that though. Ive read stories over on ls1gto.com of the rears in these cars breaking under stock power, so I dont want to over do it until I can get some BMR stuff in the back to take that much extra power.

I am happy for now, but we all know how that works, lol. There will eventually be a maggie added, but there are a few other bills I need to take care of first.

The car is so-so waiting on a part to get it to the dyno. Just putting around town breaking the clutch in. I think I fucked my other trans on the clutch install. Lesson learned no biggie. It was nice having a spare. Just a pain in the *** to install twice. Glad to see you putting some numbers down. I don`t know to much about the maggie but what I have seen is most seem to lean for the centri? From what I have read in the past I believe the maggie puts gobbs of power on the bottom. Your already gonna have traction problems on the bottom. Might as well save some for up top and give your rear a chance to live.
