are there no dyno's around you guys ? i have a shop up the road that lets me tune on their dyno. I have a set fee to pay them for the dyno use, in the beginning, they ran the dyno strapped the cars down and all i did was tune. Now, i pull in, tell them what i got and need to do, i strap it down, i run the i tune, i take as long as i need or want to play with the car, in the end, they get their fee, the customer is thrilled and everyone is happy..... I realize this is an uncommon relationship from a shop, but as many traveling tuners we have on these boards, they use a lot of different dynos.

savior, me and Nj been talking about you. pls believe what Nj is saying. i've experienced the same thing as you and it took Nj a while to clean up the tune. although i have an 8, the experience is the same, time and money wasted. let socal evo knows and dont be afraid to get banned. EVOM is way better anyways.
why not do this....
shut the cutout and use a test pipe instead. it wont be the same as the straight pipe but, it will be close enough without attracting too much attention. unless, you can come up with a location long enough to do a 3rd or 4th gear pull, i think this is a viable option. hope to see you sometime.
good luck

I am having simliar problem here with a tuner but its a shop that has pretty good rep.
on 30 PSI, alky, tbe, intake, o2 housing, and manifold i only put down 326whp, and the week before on 25psi no alky or manifold i did 300whp. and they told me that thats all they can get out of the car, so they said buy a fuel pump and plugs and we will get someone else in the shop to retune it.
i said are you doing it for free, and they won't but i can't afford to go anywhere else and i don't have a lap top or plug to do a mail in flash so i'm kinda f'ed on the whole thing.

Where are you in MD, there are a lot of great tuners in the area. I am sure someone on the board would loan you a laptop and tactrix cable if you want to do it yourself. PM me I have a laptop but do not have the cable yet.

And I thought I was smart and stealthy getting the cutout.... seems like I screwed myself over...
Yes.... I paid 300 dollars... for a non wideband tune....

my recommendation is to get the tune fixed by NJ... sell your cutout if you have to or do some searching for a secluded place to make a few pulls. You dont need a whole lot of room for a 4th gear pull, maybe a 1/2 mile of flat straight away to accelerate and slow down.
For the guy in maryland... like JB said, get with kreionic. Im sure he'd be happy to work with you.
