Well, I finally got my car dyno tuned. Tuning was done by Bryan Herter from PCM's for less. I was hoping for a bit more power than I got, but I always feel that way when getting the car tuned 
. As some of you remember, last year I had the car tuned with no air filter, and it made 590 RWHP on a Mustang dyno at about 15.3 #'s of boost. This year I added a good inlet tube setup to an air filter, and added a methanol injection setup from Snow Performance. I also didn't run the RPM's quite as high as last year, as I later found out the max impellor speed for the blower is at 6500 RPM instead of the 7,000 RPM I did last year. I ended up still somehow getting 14.5 #'s of boost at 6500 RPM. For whatever reason, the car has been running PIG fat ever since I started it this year. The red line and # is where it was at when I drove the car in with the different setup. The Blue line and number represents after it was tuned. I was hoping to have added more timing, but Bryan is the expert, so we left it where he thought it was safe.
Here's a basic break down on my setup;
383 LT1 (Lunati Sledgehammer Crank, Oliver Billett rods, custom Diamond pistons)
TPIS CNC LT1 AFR 180 heads
Custom Camshaft 244/254 @ .050, .578/.578 lift, 114* LSA
Hand ported intake manifold
Hooker Long Tubes
Hooker Y-Pipe
Borla Cat-Back
Lingenfelter 58mm TB
60# Injectors
M6 w/Moser 12 bolt and 3.73's
EPP Custom FMIC setup
CR 8.8:1
Dual Walbro 255 lph in tank fuel pumps (2nd one kicks in @ 4#'s of boost)
Snow Performance Methanol injection system
All tuning was done on pump gas (93 octane) and on the stock PCM

After the tune, it feels like a totally different car. It now runs smooth as can be, and definatly feels a lot more powerful. I have video also from the dyno I'll post up later as well.
All and all, I am happy it has a good safe tune on it, and its back to where it should be. 614 RWHP is plenty fine with me

Oh, well... It will keep the anticipation until I come back home in the fall. Realistically, Kurts car should crush mine, as he now should be able to safely run quite a bit more power than me. Nick's Supra would be a good race.
I will be making a track run in the next couple of weeks. I'll keep everyone informed, and I'll bring the video camera.

Ben, how are Nick and Ginny doing? Haven't seen them since the wedding...he ever get his fuel system put on?

Damn, if it was tuned by Chad instead, you probably would have picked up 30-50 rwhp, and better gas mileage! Ask Joe about this!!
Good gain on the numbers~

Oh man....
They are divorced already. I was in the wedding right before I deployed to the Desert for the Air Force. When I came home a few months later I gave him a call to see how things were going, and he told me they were on their way to being split up. Months later the divorce was final. It's one of those long trajic stories that seem to follow him around.Anyways, he has a bigger fuel pump, but still needs bigger fuel rails and injectors. He might get those on over the summer. He made low 600's on a Mustang dyno last year, so again, he and I would be a good race.

Bryan is a pro, especially with the old LT1's. I don't think Chad even has the capability to tune an LT1.
