No I know the kid pretty well. He just bought this car. Someone else might of had some head work or something done to. He has tangled with other modded cars and beaten most of them. I am possitive he does not have any juice on board.

Good luck!!!

Do you know if they are open tomorrow? What do you think a good tune would cost? Man I have dumped so much money in this thing the last few weeks and have gotten no results. I would realy be pissed if i had it tuned and it did nothing for me. I e-mailed them just a minute ago. Maybe i will here something back from them soon.

yeh, I was just looking over their web sight. Maybe they do weekend tunes on their dyno. They charge 275 for a mail order tune. I bet it would be a better tune if you have your car there. Maybe i will here something from them soon and might be able to set something up in the next few days or so.

We're not open on the weekends, but we'll be happy to set up an appointment for you to come in. You should have some power to gain with a dyno tune. Dyno tunes run $350. Give us a call on Monday and we'll set something up.

I will do that. I just hope I can find time to make it over there. I work way to much. Just what is a safe average incress on an engine that is stock except for the simple bolt ons I listed? Can we also make some juice passes to tune my wet kit?

I have no idea what an average increase would be myself but I am certain that you will be well taken care of and very happy with the outcome.

Brian, Jason, Jon, Trevor and Joseph up there are very good at what they do, they generally yield great results in their work and will be able to find out what the problem is and fix it. Good luck and let us know when you are going to be there for the tune, I for one would like to stop by and see your car and what the results are.

The you can drive back and smoke your buddy's SS...

I am going to call them Monday. Probley be in a few weeks before I can go up there. Just depends with the money thing. I bought a welder today and a gun from the gun show, add the fact I spent 2500 on the rear end and I am a little low on toy money for the next few weeks. I will let you know when I bring it up there.
