No it'll get me the tune that I've been after for 2 years thanks to all the help from you dan and witt. Like I said you keep going back to track times track times are a pissing contest, all I wanted was my car to run right with no problems you guys couldnt even give me that. So blame my driving but it doesnt explain how poorly my car was tuned. Oh and I find it so ironic that I never see you guys post ever anymore but one bash and you all must have texted each other and got on SS.net, so cute, glad to see your all still a tight knit group.
you fail.
that is all

So...first off...car never blew up...car had a non extended timing chain tensioner from the factory and skipped a tooth and threw a code (not to mention the intake balance shaft installed in the exhaust and exhaust on intake from the factory) so we rebuilt where i then incorrectly torqued a rod bolt and spat a rod out the block...it was rebuilt again and ran like a champ.
Second...your car ran 21 deg of timing I'm staring at the map right now..it also had more timing down low then wes's tune and ran the same pe enhance curve as wes's...and I know I tuned your afr to 11.8 before I left. If you modded it after that that would affected your afr to the lean side and added knock since the spark curve was so aggressive.
What was your tuners definition of lean? and of serious knock..how many deg was it pulling?
If he was commenting on the pe curve shape I addressed it in a previous post cause u were tuned before dynamic airflow tables became available.
and you never said when u called it was running lean or crappy or knocking from what i can remember. You were always calling about every niggle and id check it or have u describe the symptoms and id determine it was the tune or it was fine and the other cars did it too...If you had said it was wrong I would have taken care of it...but you blew up my phone and pm about everything...call wolf enough times and they wont answer...
When I tuned your car with what it had on it...and im looking at the tune right now...It was fine...ran 21 deg...and didnt knock thru the end of 3rd. It was known the car might knock past the end of third cause of the heat and no meth. You were happy with the work I did on your car/tune everytime I left be it track or your place...I wouldn't have left if you weren't.
FYI redline jon is still running on that exact tune ur car has...been trouble free for over 3 years 60 drag passes and 20k+ miles mid 13s @ 108ish

from my view you can go **** yourself your opinion means nothing to me.
yah dan im sry maybe i exploded but i did call you about it running lean and getting lots of KR, you just didnt want to be bothered cause like your wolf crying theory you didnt care. yah i was always happy cause everytime time we met which was twice other than outside of the track which might have been twice there my car seemed to run normal, I had no idea at the time what you were doing, I knew nothing about tuning this was 3 years ago. All I'm saying is the car runs better than what it did, at the track its besides the point yah thats my fault.
I've data logged my car it doesnt pull timing at the top of 3rd unless what you saying is that its not gonna show that its pulling timing, the car runs like a raped ape on the street I just have trouble lauching at the track. I run more air in my tires than most ppl, I'm not trying to snap an axel. I'm getting a new IC next wednesday when I take my car to the dealership.

i still would love to see your car run on the street. 21* is ALOT on a 2.5 with full cooling mods. How your doing it without any worries me. Some people can't get that much timing on 2.8's without cooling mods.

To be honest my car with no exhaust nor cooling mods was running that much on the 2.5" ring if not more. But Dan had his own magical way of doing it.

I wouldn't consider myself in the top 5, but I do what I can.

Hey....There is a tuner on this site who doesnt post much who makes higher numbers uncorrected then most tuners on here make corrected. He has tuned some of the highest horsepower Cavys in the Midwest, the Ohio guys probably know him. He lives in st.louis now, im not knocking any tuners on here, i want to see some sheets uncorrected from these guys!!!!

SAE correction factor bases it's numbers on 29.23 inHg of dry air and 77 F . STD correction factor bases it's numbers on 29.92 inHg of dry air and 59 F. STD CF on average, due to these baselines, shows roughly 4% more hp than SAE. Corrected numbers using either CF could be higher or lower than uncorrected, depending on whether atmospheric conditions are more favorable or less favorable for power at the time of the run, compared to the baseline numbers of the CF used.
