i am, yeah, but idk why you're so worried about it...the only thing i'm worried about with mine is because of the ls4 tb and the bitch that they are on even an ss, but i know that if i start it and it doesnt even idle right, dont run it. but if it starts and idles fine, i dont see the problem until he gets back to you...it's not like it's the first time vince wrote a tune for a supercharged 2.2. did you send him your data logs?

we drove the bf's car 6 hours to the beach for a show about an hour after we finished the turbo and loaded the first tune onto the car...data logged the whole damn way...

for me, it doesnt matter either way because i won't take my car out with gravel and such from winter still on the road anyway for any reason other than to data log a couple times...it usually doesnt come out out until like the end of this month/first week in may anyway...

yes i sent logs to him and id rather be cautious i guess than for it to bit me in the ass. sure hes tuned alot but iv seen alot of ppl blow up there cars also. just rather be safe than sry kinna thing. first tune is a base tune. which means he more or less puts the same tune on each of our cars with the supporting mods. each car reacts in diff ways though.

well, he's a beast, seriously...until the exhaust burns a hole in my oil line and blows oil all over the highway ...and a back road a second time trying to get it home...on the same day my dad gets a load of wood for redoing our deck thats all on the trailer and making it unusable and tells me "don't break down, i cant bring the trailer." lol

so my car has had two oil changes in like a week with new oil again once we get it fixed AND there's oil ALL over my car. Like everywhere - underneath, the whole back bumper/trunk AND literally dripping from the side skirts and rear lip thank god my dad came with stuff to fix it enough to get it home lol

but the good news is IT RUNS! ...and good for that matter! i didnt have time to get a good video before the oil line issue happened, so yeah...but loveeeeeee it!

this is the only pic i have. It's from my older camera that happened to be in my car...

the sending unit for my gauge has a line ran to it from the block. well, the line was like rubber/plastic and it was apparently too close to the header and/or dp which melted a hole in it and from the pressure, it pushed all the oil out..

it seriously looked like my car was blowing up with all the smoke that was coming from it. my dad ended up bringing some stuff and we got it to where we could get it home since i wasnt far from home so my dad drove it home and the bf followed us home in my dad's truck when it happened the second time. well, the bf said when it happened that time, he couldnt even see us there was so much smoke

the first time, we were like hmm it smells like oil....holy **** look at the smoke....oh ****, the oil pressure is dropping faster than a ****...shut it off and pulled over lol my car and my dad's garage now stink on top of the oil being all over the place


but thats the only problem i have so i'm happy. it's an easy fix once i get the parts and new oil after that i can get to data logging and dial it in

stainless braided still has a ruber hose under the braid there is still the posability for it to melt so be careful with its placement
on another note congrats and how did it feel to hit boost?
