Thanks. I got the car back to take care of a few things. Ed got a good tune on my car but it still needs some adjusting but getting a dyno anywhere is damn near impossible at this point. So I am going to wait for his to get up and running. In teh mean time I am installing the things I got sitting here and fixing a few things that need addressing to include the suspension and a few other issues. Otherwise new pics will be up in a few days and hopefully if I ever get the time. yotaman96 if you need to know something specific I will see if I can help. let me know.

I'm done with mine. Tried to have it dyno tuned yesterday, but apparently when Ed put a tune in my PCM, it locked to his license only. The tune was way off. It was very rich and didn't want to run. I didn't ask Ed to do an all out tune, I just wanted to be able to start it and make sure nothing was leaking before I took it to the dyno. Monday we're going to see if the computer will let us reflash it with a stock tune and hopefully get rid of the lock that's on it. If I had not sent the PCM off to be tuned, I'd probably have dyno #'s to report right now. I tried calling Ed yesterday and his wife said he was out of town. She gave me his cell #, but he didn't answer and his mailbox was full.

SO do we trust me. I think once we get the bugs worked out its gonna be a solid setup. Key word being bugs. I got alot to fix on the car and change out while I wait for Ed to get his Dyno up and running then by time I am done getting it tagged and titled and seats changed, suspension changed, cleaned, and a few minor wiring things it will go back to ed. All of which are things I knew about. I bought the car sight unseen, the owner was cool and honest so I knew what I was getting. I bought it in Jan. while I was still in the sandbox, Now that I have it back for now, I have seen it a total of like 7 days if that. I am alittle patient with it because I am back, as for Mark though its coming down to the wire, and I hope his is running before he leaves so he does not end up like I did with FFHP and my C6 corvette I am sure Ed will not leave us hanging. So far he has helped me out when it was needed. My biggest issue is that we cannot get it on a dyno to get done. Even around where I am its 3 weeks before I can get on one. But Ed's is about ready. Besides no one wants to mess with a SD tune either lol, they are not known for being user freindly.

If I have good results with my tune, maybe it would be worth the drive. It's in Bowling Green, KY. I'm very confident that Jessie at the Horsepower House can get this thing running right. That is unless I have other problems like fouled plugs from running so rich when I started it.

SD=Speed Density. There's no room for a mass air flow with this kit. I didn't notice that until after I ordered the kit.

This is what's causing some of the problems. If it was able to have a maf on it then tuning would be much easier.
