Okay so the car got tuned today. I dont have numbers because the car had so many issues, so we couldnt make it to steves dyno. On my way up to fort worth friday night, the car was hella sluggish, couldnt boost past 12lbs. Get to Kevins at 930 this morning to start trouble shooting. Ended up draining the entire fuel tank to find I had bad fuel. Refilled, solved alot of problems. This was a couple hours after we trouble shot other things, such as changing out boost controllers and such since the ecu was not reading boost. Car still wasnt running the way it should have been, found out my hfc was totally shot. Stay away from Perrin, as this was not the first time Evo Dynamics has seen these cats to fail. We turned it into a test pipe, solved that problem. Then we found a boost leak. Then the tuning began and now the car feels hella powerful and is a whole new beast. Total of 9 hours of working on the car today.
Over all I appreciate Kevin and Rich's patience as my car was not being very friendly. Next up will be an E85 tune. Oh and I got to ride in a 9 sec evo today, and I have no words to explain the rush lol.

Hurry up and get back so you can have fun with the car. Evo Dynamics will take great care of you and your car. They are even family friendly. I had my wife, and two kids up there the whole time lol. Son was playing wii in the office, an my two year old daughter running around the shop flirting with kevin and rich, then nap in the a/c office on the couch lol.

Thanks man. I cant wait to do E85. The car pulls like a beast now, so I can only imagine the power output after the next tune.

Don't upgrade uicp if u are gonna use a stock flanged bov. For a stock turbo and e85 get the fuel injector clinic 1050cc injectors. I would recommend u get a stock 9 turbo at least or a 10.5 hotside for ur stocker because the 9.8's are garbage and don't hold boost for ****
