Sure, the car was tuned at my house last night and we finished up around 3:30AM.
Jeremy Formotto myself, and Zamboxl all had a very late night with some good results.


What dont you understand?
Why do you roll your eyes?
Maybe you dont understand how tuning and HP gains work together.
I am taking his best run on the dyno vs his base line run on the dyno and there was a 37HP peak for peak difference.

Formato does a good deal of tuning here for the local guys.
I try and get him as many cars as possible, and he comes down about once a month.
This week there were 4 in total, 2 I set up and 2 previous customers from other places that met at my house for his assistance.
Normally works well, but Jeremy always leaves tired.

It was still a good night.
The worst part was going to bed at 3:30 and then someone called him at 9:xx and woke him up.
Which means then he woke me up and took me to breakfest.
Damn it almost seems like were dating.
Stay up late together, then he sleeps at my house, then takes me to breakfest.
