its running good, but i think it needs to be tuned for our air down here and not Ohio air/density/humidity etc. Also id like to put my intake on....

plus id like to get some info on how its running to make sure its not knocking etc. my aeroforce scan gauge went to **** so so much for that $230 paper weight...

it hauls but the 14.0 didnt make me too happy and after that run i burnt up my clutch so i need that before i go back to the track b/c it just spins in second now.....

Yeah dude Jeremy did a good job on Linefire's Redline, real nice guy too. Whenever and if-ever the 2.2 is supported I'll be driving over for a few important tweaks I need

Race Related is the name of the shop I believe too.

I dyno'd once at Race Related (SilverSS and a few others were there), wasn't too impressed by their lack of professionalism. Plus, the guy working the dyno seemed like a *****. I really wasn't planning on going back to that place.

i also agree on this one! when i left early to get my dyno sheet, the owner was like o they're lucky that they getting their cars dyno'd for 30 bucks cause that guy broke my freaking air fuel ratio which cost me 2000 bucks to fix it and i lost a few customers today too since there was ppl from different city to tune their car?! plus those #'s on our cars was off about 10-20 hp cause they just strapped the cars on there without setting the computers up.

WTF? plus those #'s on our cars should have been higher, prolly was off by 10-20 hp cause they just strapped the cars on there without setting the computers up.

^^ So the guy with the Eclipse was the culprit, then, huh? ^^

$30 for 3 pulls is definately cheap, but without A/F ratio's, I would of been hard pressed to still dyno for anything more. In all honesty, a smart dyno operator should not allow customers within 20 feet of the equipment or the vehicle, just for obvious safety reasons.

As for tuning, I have been unable to find anywhere other than Race Related so far, who is also asking $400. Hell, I can't even seem to find anywhere to install my header for me, again, except for Race Related ($175 header + exhaust). Unless I find another shop before the header arrives, it looks like that's where I'll be going.

I believe it's that Jeremy guy you were talking about doing the tune. I'll be there at 9 am so they can install the exhaust, and then at 1:00 pm he's supposed to show up to do the tune.

After he blew up his own stock Cobalt with an 8200 rpm rev limit? No thanks, I'll see what this Jeremy guy is about.

They are over priced as well. I got 2 different quotes from them once. They should know better then to try and pull that crap. On a positive note, they did install NOS on my stepdad's 95 Z28 and tuned it a little. The numbers were pretty impresive for it being the only real mod.
