Install some guages (boost/boost controller, wide band o2, egt w/ probe) and adjust the boost and do a tune. I know that I could do that myself but I want to spend the money to get more bang for my buck. But it's just frustrating. There isn't an all wheel dyno that people can use other than students at UAA, there are limited shops that are booked because of the lack of shops, supply and demand has the prices jacked up high cause they can since they are the only ones in Alaska, youngsters working on my car just cause they know how to use a program on a computer (I could do the same if I sat there and read it over and over until I understood it), everyone and their brother with a car has it in the shop or is already in line so the common man like myself is screwed from getting antyhing done even though I am willing to pay the outragous price. I just don't like Alaska and its lack of everything.
I'm severely glad my car was already modded the way it is before I came up here. Now I understand why it's so difficult to be so fast up here.

...and it doesn't help Underground's the only "speed shop" in town.
Ok, and you guys tuning with the Tephra mod. Who's doing it? And do you know what you're doing? I can read threads all day long, but I need someone to show me wtf to do. I bet I can knock down my e/t's considerably with the NLTS, but I'm not ready to FUBAR my tune.
Plus I want that map-switching on the fly too.
Anyone?

well I got the NLTS and the valet thing working. I just need to figure out how the hell to get the "map on the fly" thing. I think I have a different version or something. I'm slowly learning by perusing.

They're was a few people out last night. Got entertained by cops pulling their guns on someone breaking into that old *** house on top of the hill, and a dunken native refusing to get in his DD's car, lol.
Well 11.86 is as good as it it gets for me this summer. Made a few passes today, 11.88, 11.91 and an 11.97. Not bad for having low compression on my #4 cylinder.
