Default All tuned and ready to go.

First off, I'd like to say thank you to Ellis for taking the time from his busy schedule to tune my car. I really appreciate everything you did.

Secondly, some off you all better get ready to move down that top 10 list, next time out to the tracks.

All in all the car feels a lot stronger, especially up top. Hopefully that'll show at the next TNT. Some of the basic things I remember Ellis changing up were:

1) Shift Points Increase
2) Added Fuel to Compensate for running lean
3) Got rid of my knock retard (KNOCK, not Darrin,lol), it was pretty ugly
4) Delete Torque Management (BEST FEATURE EVER)

I'm sure there are somethings I forgot, but I'm sure Ellis will chime and possibly leave some more info about the things I didn't catch him doing.

Thanks again Ellis.

Ellis is the man. I am glad he was able to tweak your set-up. It is amazing what you can do just by making a few adjustments in the computer and not even touch the engine. But I guess GM tunes these things for the general population and not for specific situations. Now go blow the doors off some foreign jobber that thinks he's the shiz-nit.

Like I said last night Rey, deleting TM will put your Vette in the 11s. Can't wait to see the results. And my car ran close to a full tenth faster after I richened up the top end. So I predict you are going to be VERY happy next time you go to the track!

I thought you were joking

Too bad you can't tell us the outcome until it airs...not "officially" anyway

So who is starting the betting pool?
