sometimes there's nothing he can do...it's something you need to figure out on your own. he's not there to check every little detail of your build.

Trifecta opens at 8 and u can send them 5 logs and they'll. Send u one tune a day.. even with people with no starting problem which they say is a priority but they wont send u another tune till 10 minutes before they close. So if that tune don't work ur **** out of luck till the next day..seriously Vince is swimming in money and hasn't showed 1 person how to read logs which I think is ******* selfish..


End..
i get a kick out of people who do things like this to cars and then expect it to run right as soon as they first start it up because "it's their only car to get around." some things don't go as planned. **** happens.

and i'd get e-mails back from vince within a half an hour to a few hours at most when i was tuning my car...and i even fried my ECU in the beginning...at 11 p.m. a friday night and was talking with vince saturday morning...please, tell me more about problems...

Those of you who said you don't have the p0300 code, what plugs are you running and at what gap? I have run both the 6509 and the 3672, the latter of which I still have and they are gapped to .034.
honestly, i run Autolites. one step colder. someone told me not to run them because they are "generally crappy plugs." but i decided to give it a try anyway and ever since i put them in, it runs like a champ. and surprisingly, they were actually more expensive than the NGKs lol but no more misfires, no problems, no CEL... *knocks on wood* lol ...and i have 60's

i have 60s on mine the way my tuner explained it to me 60s are basically only running at not even half of what they should run at idle so they are hard to get to idle right, but under open throttle they are great and run fine i get random misfires too always on #3 i ordered new plugs from zzp i guess we will see if it was just a gaping issue
