thanks guys

just wanted to clear up that that little secton near the front on the dyno sheet that seems to drop a bit was fixed on the last pull, they just added a little fuel in that area.

I've seen this car in person.....VERY clean.....Just a question though......how did you make 244hp with those mods?? Im on a 2.8 with Gm tune with the gm injectors as well....and made 247....not that it's ALOT more, is the tune really conservative??

the dyno is set up very conservative. The tune is amazing. It feels like more power through the curve. The tune is great. The hp gain does not bother me the 45 ft lbs i gained through the whole mid section is what i care about, thats what gets us going.

It seems a little low but with all that said its faster then you think. the guys that have been in it can definitely back it up

as well every dyno again is deifferent. I could go up to PJ speed shop and run higher numbers or even a little lower. dyno's are good for tuning and seeing the gains, they arent a good comparison of cars in general.

thank you for the comments, your car was VERY clean too

well as for an update. I just emailed Mel at Tag racecraft to set up a price for the 2.6 pulley, Meth Kit and another custom tune. So the progress continues
