I did one a few weeks back for a customer and set the idle screw to idle right at 800rpm on stock tuning. It sounded goood.

Bout time you got it in the car though! sheesh!

Very soon, i'm taking it to RPM for the retune on Friday. Cant wait to get my idle at like 850-900. This 1000rpm idle is killing my lope lol (speedtek tuned it at about a 1000 idle cause they suck ***** and are lazy, and decided to just raise the idle instead of making it run right at a 850 idle lol)

We may not be perfect, but Shaun ran a 7.0 last week at Kennedale, so I'd say we're definitely gettin there. There are other issues I have with them, not from my own car, but from about 3 close friends, and one not so close friend. Damn it, I just went there didn't I?

I dont think so, i need to get it tuned before i drive it too much, it's bogging nasty i think i need my timing advanced cause my old cam had 4 degrees of advance ground in and the MS3 has no advance ground in.
