Yea i took it to boos. he was awesome, charged me 495. The reason you street tune a ws6 is because the ram air actually works so if you dyno tune it its harder to get the air fuel ratio correct. He was incredibly detailed in the tune and i'll go back in a heart beat for my next tune

the only way ill take it to a shop with a house dyno is if boos were to get one. I like the way he tunes. The numbers are important, but I'll find that out soon enough

Numbers aren't anything, its all about how the car runs at the track. You can have all the horsepower in the world but if you can't get it to the ground then its useless.

The reason you street tune any car is because the car is loaded, unlike a dyno were you can only tune for WOT. I know that the higher end models have a load cell program so you can do part throttle tuning, and WOT tuning as well. Please correct me if I am wrong I don't want to give out bad info?

That sounds about right. Boos said if you dyno tne it its going to run rich on the street because you can't get the correct air if your not driving it. Now since it was street tuned ill be a little rich on the dyno, which is fine since i wont be spending much time there

correct ryan, or just use the db performance dyno cause you can load the car like you were driving it on the road.

no numbers yet, I'll probably wait for a dyno day towards the end of april, otherwise places around here charge like a hundred bucks just to come and take a few pulls.

I will shoot a couple of more videos once I have it back tonight or tomorrow. It's off have the tranny beafed up a bit.

Very nice!!

This is the exact combo I wanted prior to deciding I would save up for some AFR 205's.

Sounds great!
