Default Just got tuned by Newtech Performance

and my car made 21rwhp/18lbs tq more than it previously did with a Robert at Advanced Dyno tune(wouldnt even call it a real tune). the background on this story is i went to Robert about 2 months ago for a tune and only made 365rwhp, no tq reading cuz his reader was broken. that shoulda been the first sign to pull my car out and go home.

well, Robert said that was just right for the setup i had and i disagreed, but what do i know, i dont tune cars. my startup was completely whack and my idle was a little high....but robert went off the map so i just lived with it.

however, after nicks tune the car runs 100x better, starts right up, idles correctly and has no misfire codes.

mods are: f13 cam, ARH lts, catted y, gmmg catback, full bolt ons.

ill post my dyno sheet in a second.

thanks again Nick!


Runfile1 is the baseline run: robert tune.
