    Big Thanks to Rodeheaver's

    Tim, it was a pleasure meeting you this Saturday, and I wanted to thank you again for the work that was done to my car in order to get it ready for the dyno tune, from hauling it to your shop, to fixing all the little items that always pop up on a brand new build, like mine was.
    I would also like to thank Don and Rob LaSota for getting that troublesome MAF issue resolved, and for putting the tune on the car. It was pretty cool watching the car respond to the tuning-awesome job.

    The only minor issue was the water pump gasket (or lack of one) caused a minor coolant leak, so i wasn't able to drive it yet. Left the car at Tim's for him to take care of this week.

    BTW- 365 rwhp @ 5500
    364 rwtq @ 4800

    No problem man, those guys are awesome arent they!! The best part is they diagnosed the problem, fixed the problem, and didn't have one negative thing to say or ask for a penny more!! I don't know about you, but that is customer service there, I could'nt have been blessed with any better of a tuner to have come to my shop. We just had some fun, enjoyed ourselves, and tunes some cars!!!!!

    Well said, Tim, couldn't agree more. I noticed on the last pull, you were video recording. Any chance of seeing that video??
    How did the other vehicles do? I really wanted to stick around, but when you have a 9 year-old with ants in his pants.....

    Peak power at 5500?

    Rob,
    Peak power is dead-nuts @ 5500 per the cam card, peak torque occured a little higher than the 4400 specified.

    Keep in mind that this combo was designed for 90% street usage, so this should be pretty fun.

    Ok, sounds good, for some reason I was thinking it would peak in the 6000 range.

    Hey Tj, i will get the video up soon, yours is the only video i had time to do....
    the maroon car made 500/522 @ 11lbs, and it ran out of fuel pump, maf volts, so it is gonna need a bigger fuel system, but i think he is gonna leave it alone, he called me yesterday and said it is an absolute joy to drive.. The truck made around 240 @ 5lbs, we had minor issues because vortech sent us an upgraded si trim with a 5lb pulley for some stupid reason and we didnt want to change the pulley and void the warrenty until we see that the unit is gonna last, or until he has a few hunderd miles on it, then we are gonna take it to 8-10lbs, but it made 75 more hp at the wheels on 5lbs!!, just playing it safe for now..

    True dat ;) Unfortunately, it doesn't make a good internet signature :D If you run my stuff for MPH / weight through a calculator, it matches up pretty well with what the dyno said. Real world power.
