hmmm...some of us have slightly differing opinions his customer service is great and he is one helluva nice guy but my tune isn't exactly what I had asked for, in his defense tho I didn't give him an opportunity to fix it because I found a dyno tuner locally so I am going to go that route and chalk the mail order up as a loss

I agree I liked the tune I got from MadTuner. It made it nice and smooth. Higher rpms felt smoother, but I didn't really notice any MAJOR performance gain. Probably because 3º were retarded for my 150 shot though. I have not ran it on the spray yet though with tune.

I'm very happy too with Ion, he set mine up for 100 shot, it runs amazing on & off the bottle, but i do need to talk with you on what he did with yours as for timing, he set mine up @ the factory timing, then it pulls 2* @ WOT for 100 shot, i'm wanting to hit it with a 150 shot & some race fuel mix, how is your set up for the 150?? What fuel are you running??

I believe overall timing is pulled. Safer for motors that will see a lot of spray and not a huge deal when off the juice.

He pulled 4* of timing,3* from stock for my 150. If he pulled 2* from urs,and u run a good fuel,u should be safe. He said I could spray mine on 93. I know a stock tune will hold 150 on race gas.so again u should be safe. But also remember every car and motor is different. Our 96z held 150 with a 2 step colder plug and race gas all season through a plate kit. I may actually have him just pull 2* at wot and run 100 octane when spraying. The 4* is super noticeable on motor,but it does jump up and go when the spray is on.
