Got an update on my clanking. Seems there was too much timing at idle, the clanking was the cam moving around from the extra pressure exerted by all that timing. Damn tuner. Anyone hook me up on a tune?

I heard there's this guy who is supposedly the end all be all of tuners...and all you need to do is bring him like a 12 pack of Mich Ultra or something like that. Also heard he's kinda an *** so I wouldn't recommend him to much.

Yeah sure its easy the large black round button right below the volume **** is the tuner button. First push it in and it slides out, and makes it easy to turn. Next decide if you want more or less tuning, and if you want more turn the **** clockwise, and for less turn the **** counter clockwise. I would be more than happy to do it for you. I do my best tuning after at least a handle of DOBRA VODKA mmm good. I hope this is helpful.

Nah, I know that guy, he uses a WB and will tune a car with the MAF screen out. Those two facts there means he doesn't know what he's doing!

Oh yeah, he's slow on top of all that!
