Mellon Tuned
Well I made the trip down to Memphis to meet up with Chris being that he's in my backyard and my car had always been acting funky since it arrived here from Germany so it was time to get her running right. I must say the experience was great. Upon arriving and meeting Chris, he took the time to make me feel welcomed by offering me the restroom after my 4hr drive.
So we took off to tuning and Chris asked me couple of questions to kinda know what he was dealing with. He made on spot corrections that my previous guy missed such as the car not stalling whenever I kicked the ac on or come at a hard stop.. even though these things may be minor they play a major role in my daily driving and enjoyment of the car.
He made sure to explain every single change he was making to my ROM and to me as a customer it is important to know what he is doing with my ROM and $$$..
I must say our conversations answered quite a few questions I head in the back of my head without even asking him. I enjoyed tuning the car as he made me a key player.. I was the guy turning on and off the car while he re-flashed and in between flashes the car just kept picking up ponies that brought butterflies inside..
Overall the tune was kick *** and I couldn't be any happier. Attached below is the before and after.
My Power Mods:
GSC S1 Cams
Full Race Pro Stock Manifold
Shearer 02 Dump
JIC DP / Ebay TP
Trust PE Ti-R
FP Red 80mm
Forge WGA
Custom Int Pipe w/ SE OMG Filter
Buschur Race IC
Buschur J-Pipe/ LICP
Nisei UICP/ Tial 50mm VTA
Greddy Profec B-Spec II
HKS DLI II
93OCT 25psi

thanks for making the trip Juan, I had a great time working on the car and I'm very happy with the improvements we were able to make over the old tune. It never stops pulling now
You should post up some pics of the evo!

UPDATE:
Went to the 1/8 mile track. Clarksville Speedway
7.65 @ 94mph Sucks it rained and they don't give time slips. The run went good from launch till end.. Friend watched the run and texted me. Coming back around always had to go into a puddle of water and from then on.. I just kept spinning every time I ran..
I could not back it up as I just got slower ran 8.0 8.06 8.3 8.42 just like that so I quit..lol The tires are Nitto Invo's and when dry the hooked well.. ran 34psi all around.
So overall this tune kicks ***.. I will def. come back to Mellon nxt year after my upcoming deployment. Am porting Int. man, throttle body, BR Double Pumper, GSC S2 and switching to E85

congratulations! very nice, it's a shame the traction went away. On street tires I often put them down to 25psi or so to see if I can find a little better grip. What was your best 60' any idea?
94 in the 1/8 would probably translate to 119mph in the 1/4. I usually add 25mph to the 1/8th time on small frame turbos and maybe 30mph on the bigger ones as a rule of thumb.
This car is going to love the new mods!
