Well, your buddy sucks then, or his car did.
You can pull 13.5's out of a 5spd pi/pi swapped with tires and 4.30's

lca's/usa's can also do wonders for those cars from a dead stop.

The problem is everyone throughs out stall so loosely. There is more than one stall, 3200, 2700, 4200, ect. Plus a stall needs to be tuned, shift points and when to lock and unlock the stall needs to be factored. That alone can drastically affect your times.

Just because someone sees a car with a weak stall like a 2700 run a shitty time at the track doesnt mean every stalled car runs like that.

That’s why the car ran weak times, it’s barely better than stock. Also Lidio is who tuned my car, he’s a great tuner.

Yea 3.5 hours one way. After having my car at Pauls High Performance though I was tired of Pauls ****. The fact that he had my car 2.5 months and that I had the car up there 3 more times within 3 weeks after that for **** tuning I decided it was worth the trip to get a real tune. I spent over $500 in gas alone going to and from Pauls.

He can't tune worth a **** or he was just dicking me around either way I don't care. My car drove worse and was slower after Paul tuned it. I got my money back from Paul and now have a real tune from Lidio now.

Paul's a good tuner, he doesn't care enough about his business though. His shop cars are tuned extremely well, he is just not really a great business owner imo. I'd trust powerhouse or alt auto with any of my cars, mustangs especially. If you get a chance, check out powerhouse they have GREAT customer service, GREAT tuning, etc.

Thats the the problem his stuff is tuned to perfection and his customers stuff is put on the back burner. Well he fucked around with me for to long and I was about ready to take him to court over it.

Before I took the car to Puals the car ran 11.64@111 letting off at the 1000' mark.

After Pauls a with a new fuel system, more boost, bigger blower, built and stalled auto tranny, and a fixed intake problem. The car ran a best of 12.85@109. The car drove like **** with nasty bucking problems would hardly start and would completly cut out going down the track or anytime at WOT. You could hear and feel the car lose all the power and it would throw you foward form it.

He is a horrible business owner and I wouldn't take my lawn mower up there to get tuned. Lidio had my car 3 days working on it a little bit each day and it was done. The car has never drove better and it runs like a raped ape.

Your probably going to want to go to the hptuners forums and start reading alot. It is not the easiest thing and takes patience but it is a rewarding experience in the end knowing what you know
