C sautter! It's me Dirty Harry from socalevo.net! lol

MFQ Motorsports in Burbank tuned my car on their dyno dynamics. The 325 whp was made on the dynojet setting (their dyno can read both). On their dyno dynamics, it made 276whp. So about a 19% difference. It's been a few months now and it's running great. I need to get a tactrix cable and start logging myself to make sure everything is in tip top shape. Especially since it's getting cooler down here.

It's all in the tune!

Oh and I forgot to include a walbro fuel pump in my mod list.

Oh damn whats up dude! I didn't know it was you. I didn't even know you had that many mods on your car. When are we going to meet up again?

Work some OT. I'm at work reading up on all the things I can do to my car. So basically I'm doing the same thing I'd be doing at home but getting paid for it. Man that sounds even better when I type it.

Some of these dyno numbers with mods don't add up.. oh well - there just numbers..

Anyway, I'd say do what's best for your car. I didn't like the idea of modifying the internals of my car so I figured a way to get the power of cams without changing the turbo or the cams. Race gas is a safe alternative but I can't afford the expense of race gas for the lifetime of the car (especially with the oil prices) so I decided on the Meth. There are a LOT of support mods required when you take it beyond the simple exhaust/intake/tune mods. Make sure to get those (fuel pump, BOV, head studs, etc..) as they will add longevity to the car..

Good Luck and congrats on the payoff!

Haha. It's not that much, just the basics.

I don't know when the meet will be. Some people are available some days but then some are not. But like I said on socalevo, I'm down if it's on a saturday or sunday.

At least you have the basics. The OP will have way more than that. I wish I had freakin $2500 to spend. I wish I had $100 to spend.
