I don't doubt that he is...I've felt Rissa's car first hand and it was like a night and day difference.

I agree. It took me having full bolt on's and a tune to get a 30 FT pound increase in TQ. But I also got a 40 HP increase aswell

I would highly recommend New Era. They did a great job on RedSSNA's car and they have great customer service.

roughly. I make little changes here and there as you know.

Meh, maybe a few more torque, but I could get more HP out of them.

Thanks!

Well I didn't expect it either, because that's a lot, but I got an automatic stock to make an additional 21rwtq on a solstice on the same day. And it's not just a minor difference, the whole torque curve was fatter up to ~4,000rpms.


We did all of the tuning at PRE in Portland Oregon. They couldn't provide print outs because their printer was whack , but we have pictures of their screen. I WILL post the pics as soon as I get them from Mike (guy who took the photos).

And to those that don't believe me, it doesn't matter. My results are 100% real. I don't lie. I wouldn't come out and seriously risk the reputation I have over something stupid like that.

There's not a huge difference in timing like you would think. I just know what I am doing.

I believe it, Steve is amazing at what he does, you'd be an idiot to doubt/not believe him.

I don't have a single complaint about them. Awesome service and a great tune and I know a bunch of others who would tell you the same thing.
Not trying to thread jack. Get those pics up man.

I just find it hard that there are so many bolt on 2.4's with tunes and they are having a hard time with a 30 ft pound increase in TQ. And all you have done is a tune on a stock LE5. Not knocking just throwing out from my personal exp tuning these cars.

This guy continues to talk a game yet cannot produce dyno graphs, videos or even logs. No offense but this just doesn't seem right.

Sorry but, Who the hell are you? I don't "talk a game". You just walked in the lobby, I'll show you to your room shortly.

I guess it's my fault that the dyno shop had a crappy printer and that I am waiting on the photographs of the dyno for proof. I didn't think this site was full of so many self doubting LE5 owners.

REDFOCZ you clearly have a lot of experience in the LE5 game. I'm sure you've taken more than one car to the dyno before and seen results. Seeing as how I got 29-30ftlbs out of a manual with 91 octane, and 21ft lbs out of an auto with 89 octane I know that this isn't BS.

Sorry you guys don't believe it yet. I had doubters on my LNF tune, and then when I posted the graphs the doubting stopped.

I'm not out spouting BS or false hope, or even just a "freak" occurence. This is something I could repeat and prove over and over. Your car would be no exception.

Well, you have to get that kit together. I will be in Houston this weekend, and the demand is so high that I will probably return to Houston shortly after. Hopefully for your sake you can get your kit together.
