im not sure i need a tune for the convertors drivability as much as performance... i mean the only negitive thing it does around town is idle kinda low (falls to 300 then goes back to 500) at light throttle stabs, say to back up or something. other than that it still shifts at 6k does not come in and out of lock up and pretty much is great.... but i only managed .2 off my et check out my thread.

if it turns out i dont NEED a tune right now, i'd rather do exhaust first then a tune. after the exhaust I will probably take it easy untill the rear-end brakes (gear upgrade then) or the install of the cam or nitrous.... thanks again for the advice, this platform is very new to me....steve.

We have one of the best tuners around tuning here... so when you decide it's time to get that tuning issue worked out, let us know. Like they said, by time you pay for the Diablo, you'd be better off going with a custom tune. Good thinking about getting your headers on first... then you only have to make that drive once.

We moved, and in the move, we went to VOIP. Well, as you may know, the VOIP system runs off of the server, and takes bandwidth to run. Well, when you run the forums, the online store, the point of sale system, email, and the telephones off of the system, it takes a TON of bandwidth... ended up being more than we had. So the weakest link started to get effected, which was the telephones. When everything was up, we couldn't get any phone calls at the shop, and if they did come in, they were broken and static filled. So in order for the new communications company to get the phones to work half way right, we had to lose the board again. They promised me to have the issues all resolved by this weekend... so by Monday, everything should be back to normal. (Fingers crossed for luck.)
