Default Going to ESP for a tune

I'm hoping for around 450rwhp. I think I can make it. I made 409rwhp on my old setup which was just full bolt-on and a FM14 cam. I'll post the results wensday night when I get back.

Cool you're going Weds, I'm going Thurs. They've already tuned my car though, just making a few nitrous pulls before I spray it at the strip to make sure everything's dialed in right.

Good luck!

Thanks man! Can't wait. My car pulls hard now, I can't imagine what it's going to feel like after the tune. Now if I can just get some traction then its time to hit the track

Just got back from ESP. 423rwhp and 373torque. I still got work to do.

My shortblock only has 1,000 miles on it. I need to break it in more, get at least 5,000 miles on it to get a better number. Also my stock fuel injectors are maxed out and I need bigger injectors. Once I do all that I'll be heading back and hopefully will get a much higher number.

I'll scan the dyno sheet later. The curve is really jagged and isn't smooth at all like my old one.

Yea, a car needs to be all there mechanically in order to tune right. Get the stuff and get back there soon.
