I ended up running out of injector tuning Friday night so i had to hold the boost back to 27psi and a 7000 rpm redline.

I didn't want to turn the fuel pressure up higher than 70 psi. Cuz it causes the injectors to function differently and all that crap.

Just a bump reminder about the car show in Milpitas next weekend. Just in case anyone has some free time next Saturday and you're willing to spend $30 to get a cool t-shirt, hang out for a few hours having a good time with cool vehicles and people while supporting a good cause.

Finally decided to find my place in this forum considering I AM from the Nor*Cal area and have recently begun the long, exciting, yet grueling process of going N/A to S/C. Starting with simple bolt-ons, I have done CAI and in the middle of installing a new header/dp setup and found out that I will be in bad need of a tune when the install is complete. Hoping someone can recommend the best/convenient way to get this done without having to drive many many hours away.

I second this. He's been working with me and tuning my car aswell. Tjolley is pretty savy with HPT and if you're willing to learn, he will teach you some easy to remember basics on how to use HPT.

I am east of Sacramento about 45 mins. I have the '08 2.4 N/A. Don't have any specific power goals except to go S/C eventually.

Yup, that it is. I guess I forgot to throw this up on here in case anyone feels like joining and communicating more often but I created a FB group for us Nor*Cal Balts even if we're the last of a dying breed.
