Lol you gained ALL 17 hp lolall dyno's are different bud, and I'm sure it wasn't on the same day. So that means nothing.

Most shops will give you numbers first, then they'll answer your questions after you find out your numbers were too low and now want more HozePawa. Just saying.

When you're dealing with a stock bottom end That is already making 500+ to the wheels and you gain 17rwhp from just someone else tuning the car, then that's a big deal. How can it not mean anything....I had the original shop tune the car on 2 separate occasions and had same results. The second shop I brought it too gained 17hp....obviously that means something.

I'm not on slicks and that's leaving at 3k!

It's no race car, I've never said or claimed to be, your a "racer" you see the mph is 125.96 the mph is there don't come in here grandstanding killer!

So what shop tuned your 500 SBE!

I can gain 17 too just by cooling the **** down at that hp level, your not too bright if you think that your gaining hp from dyno to dyno. Sooooo what are you mods to accomplish such a thing. All my **** is in my sig, tell me yours or is that some secret squirrel stuff.

Talk to me.

Your **** is looking good. But you have to see it from my perspective. When someone goes and mimics what I say, you gotta expect something to be said. Plus we all know every little gain in HP that we can get matters.

I never mentioned that I go Dyno to Dyno looking for gains. I was referred to someone because they knew I could improve on the tune, that's all. I went and the car got a killer tune and made gains. Heads n cam with fast intake n exhaust. That's all bro

Monday and Tuesday I called back all 93 people that left messages last week and responded to all the emails that came to the sales email. Sorry if I missed anyone.

From my experience if you make 450 on our dyno and go to a dyno jet it makes about 20 or so more. It works both ways. Doesn't mean someone tuned something better or worse. If you do a build start to finish and do a before pull and final tuning on the same dyno you will see your true gains.

I was reading what our base tune is without going on dyno for a bolton F-body. The price is $100
