That was in high 40's temps with almost everything behind driver seat gone. Different tires/wheels too.

Same tune?

Sort of...had a revision after adding epp intake this winter, so technically not same tune.

Also now 100% on new wheels and tires. I got these ones last august, but 3 times to the track with them i was a tenth slower than normal all 3 times. Went back to stockers for the rest of last year and my times came back to normal every single week til end of season.

Weird how things work huh?

Now that you say that, it reminds me a lot of golf. I had everything figured out at the end of last year. One trip to the track this year and it's like first time ever.

My reaction times were garbage. End of last year it would start with a 0 every time. I had .142's even had a .2xx.

Had the hose guy have to close my hood for me, had popped the release while driving, but as soon as i parked some guy started asking me about my times and got distracted, never opened hood so never closed it. Thank goodness they pay attention to it, i would have had a blue turd run except way slower.

Couple runs later i forgot to put rear window all the way up.

Ya it's very similar to golf. Smacks you right in the face once you think you got it figured out.

Torrie will tune you to what he sees is safe. He won't push it and risk damage to your motor. Had a conversation with him last week.

Hence, why I don't allow him to tune my set up. Should be Leashed Tuning.

Glad he's learned. Back in 17 when he tuned my car it was spiking 22psi on the baby turbos. Big yikes when I was otherwise stock

BAHA that's hilarious. I'm renaming my tune files!

 

[skyshadow07]

Jordan you have logs from back then?

 

[ridered74]

I actually tried that a few weeks ago but when i pulled up the tune on livewire it still had the name given by the tuner. I was sad.

I'd have to dig so deep for them I'm not even going to try. Lol

I have nothing against Torrie, he has done some greats things across numerous platforms. However, when researching tuners that was a common theme. I know of another SHO tuned by him here in PHX. Full bolt on (stock HPFP, stock turbos) with meth. Not only was my E30 tune SHO (Tune, Plugs, K&N) faster in the quarter by 4 tenths, it also put out more power in both HP and TQ on the same dyno.

There is something to be said about tuners, and doing your research before pulling the trigger.

Oh come on, ya tease

Yet another reason HP is better haa. I can change my file names anytime.

In recent times I've been fairly against sharing entire logs. I'd give these up but honestly not worth the effort to find them. They are trash. It was also a base tune. That being said not trying to turn this until a tuner bashing thread so let's keep on topic. He won't turn it up because it's not safe to do so sounds like to me. Way to check this is pull up your log bring up RPM, boost/load,fuelrear pressure. On shifts or through the gears if fuel pressure is beginning to taper off then you've hit a fuel limit..

 

[SM105K]

^I agree 100%...the question is how comfortable are you with fuel pressure? What is your fuel pressure low limit?

I like when it doesn't go below 2900. Lol!

I got to the point where even the xdi35 began to taper to 2000 at 20 psi. Why I threw a little methanol at it lol. 2000 on stock hpfp I'd be all about haha! On the xdi that's like damn!

 

[SM105K]

2000 in a drop on a stock HPFP would be nice.
