i have just been flashed! (long)
Hi guys,
i just got back from Pruven Performance in Ct after my car has been dynoflashed and i thought i would share my day with you.
the arrival:
i arrived at pruven 30 min before my session so i had a chance to chat with Dan AKA "spiderman" about cars and what not. all i can say about Dan is holy **** the guy knows his stuff when it comes to cars. he was very friendly and i had a great time talking to him.
the flash:
Al arrived at 2, just in time for our session and. aftre talking to him for 10 min i realized a few things. he is a very nice guy and much different than what i imagined from the board. he was very friendly and talked to me about everything he is going to do to my car and asked me what i want to do. while we were talking, they strapped my car to the dyno and away we go. my nase line was 235whp which is not bad at all. after 30 mins or so of tweaking by Al, my car put 261whp!!!! keep in mind that my car is bone stock!!!! after the dyno, Al took me for a ride in my car so we can see that everything is ok and smooth.
the highlight of my day:
Al was nice enough to take me for a ride in his beast and all i can say is WOW!!!! his car is a complete beast with great power all throughout the powerband but it is very smooth and drive very similar to stock.
the drive home:
due to the fact that i had about 140 miles of drive home, i had a great chance to really push my car and see how it does after the flash. the car is much faster but what really made me smile was the smooth power delivery and great power band. the car pulls through every gear with great linear power and i also noticed that all this power was made with only 18 psi instead of the usual 19psi.
bottom line:
big
to big Al and the guys at Pruven for being so great. i highly recommand the reflash to anybody that wants great smooth power at a great price.

I might have to head up there. Blonde, what was the total turn-around time (ie could I make it an overnight trip from DC area)? How much did it cost?
Sounds great- thanks for the report.

The result is way over my expectation.

It's a 5-hour drive for me - no sweat. This is one trip I'll definitely make. Just drive up, get tuned, drive back... SWEET!
Blonde - who do I need to make the arrangements with? Do I PM Al or just call Pruven?

Too bad I was having that intercooler coupling problem and could only give you the low boost experience!!!! Lucily I found a very stout and nice piece of coupling hose and put it in tonight which gives me some more flex. It seems that with my new engine set up its making much more power and the engine is torking over like mad and poping the intercooler hose off the trottle body. Anyway this new coupling gives me some more flex so i am off to do some road testing tonigh - AFTER the game ! Go yankees!
I'll have to give you another ride after I get all the bugs sorted out !
