Default Thanks G-Force....

Had Mike tune my car this past Friday, wasn't much power to be gained (car was previously tuned, but it sure does drive a-lot better). Used to surge like crazy on start-up but now it idles like a stock car would every-time, not to mention the a/f was pretty lean (14.0+) and now is sitting right at 12.9-13.1 across the board. Car ended up with 416.60/386.35, bout what I expected for such a small cam. Anyhow just wanted to say thanks and if you are in need of a tune Mike is the man to see.

Yea I can put a little distance on stock LS3 cars, but a few mods and they haul ***. How have you been, haven't seen you patrolling the streets. If you got one that would be badass.

Your friend has an ls3? Cause if Im not mistaken a ls3 with catback, intake, tune makes like 415-420 rw right? That would put him with alittle more power. But he prolly cant drive as good as you either. But we ALL know I can drive better than you!!!! hahaahh

Yea, he made 415 or so, but i'm a tad bit lighter and have a little tighter gearing. Not to mention I drive like I'm trying my best to break everything when I race, lol.
