My company left on a 9 day field op today and I graduate my course tomorrow. Of course they wanted me to get out there tomorrow. Almost had to get ugly just to get the weekend off. I'm good though. Two of my guys and myself will be out there playing. Been over 2 years since the team has played. Work ups and deployments kind of ruined it for us.

I'm sitting around 376/368 (if I remember correctly. I'll post the graph in a little it's in the car). The injectors are really holding me back. Apparently their dyno reads super low so who the hell knows what that is on a dynojet. I'm happy because my baseline was around 330 so I think that's a really good gain. Car feels smooth and pulls good. Haven't really gotten on it super hard because I wanted to give it a break for a little (2 hour drive there, dyno pulls almost immediately for a couple hours then a 2 hour drive back).
Anyone planning on making mid 300's or so that wants to buy some 750's?? I have to pick up some 1000's.
Overall I had a great experience. They got right to work on my car. Like I barely got to pull up and get out of my car before they were taking my keys and getting to work. I was impressed. The guys there seemed to know what they were doing, were enthusiastic and kept me updated as the progress went.
I'll probably write a review in the feedback area, but I'm very pleased with my tune and the way the guys down at Epic treated us.
edit: the one thing I will probably have to talk to Justin about is that the RPMs get kind of hung up now. It's only in slowng down situations. Like i was driving through the drive through at Wendy's and pulling up to the window with the clutch fully pressed in the RPMs hang near 2k for a few seconds before settling back down. Now sure what would cause this, but the car did it a few times throughout the journey. Doesn't seem like a big deal I'm just curious.
Here's a pic of my car on the dyno. Unedited and unspectacular looking. Although I do like the headlights a lot better blacked out.

I'd imagine the "issue" was when the fan kicks on and off. There is always a bit of lag because the car will raise the rpm to compensate for the voltage fluctuation when the fan comes on. Same with the A/C as well.... the value can be lowered a bit, i just always prefer to leave it on the high side because i rather a 1500 to 2k hang as opposed to 400 to 500 rpm bog while the car adjusts.
Im glad you were happy and it was nice meeting you... the guys at Force Fed definitely know their way around the platform and how to manage customer relations.

Thanks for the info. It didn't bother me at all the RPM's hanging a bit, I was just curious as to any explanation.
And yeah it was good experience for me. I'll definitely recommend them. If I had some smaller decals I'd throw them on the car just to advertise for them. Which is a big deal for me because I HATE decals and stickers and stuff.
We'll see how the car stacks up. One of my neighbors stopped by to chat and he's wanting to run. He has a Procharged 300C making around 520whp. It's good power, but a VERY heavy car.
I should have the 1000's ordered tonight so I would imagine they will be here by mid next week if all goes well. I'm definitely also going to pick up the COP. You just can't argue with the way the car ran with it on there. After that I'll definitely get back down there asap.
Thanks again!!
