Default Thanks G-Force

My carhas been running pretty bad for 5-6 months. A few weeks ago Mike said it needed some fuel and timing.Chuck had said he had as much timming and fuel as he could give. It was tuned when it was cool out & the hotter it got the worse it ran. It wouldn't Idol, was hesatating and shifted slugeshly. Here are a few things that was found Tq Mngmt. was on, the Low octane spark was stock, Knock sensors were on full, stock rev. limiter, stock idol, it was way to lean, A/F ratio was 12.8 at idol and the timming was set at 25*. The car runs alot better and has good pedal response. Thanks Mike.

Mike

I really need to get a tune from him, but the $350 could be spent on better things right now.

That $350 could bring out 20-30 hp. Sounds like good bang 4-ur-buck to me. Especially if you haven't had it tuned since adding those mods...


Mike tuned my ws6. He did a good job....

Oh, yea I know. I just meant it could be spent on better things in general, not necessarily on the car. Tuition, new clutch/slave/master, and an investment property are taking up all of my money right now
