Ed @ EQ Tuning works his magic yet again...

As many of you "old schoolers" may remember, I had a massive pile of parts I had been saving up for my car over the course of about 2-3 years. However, I'm not going to list everything out in this thread since I can't control who will be seeing this information. But I will say that there are quite a few factory parts, that were....lets just say, VERY difficult to find...

Ed did a phenomenal job tuning this beast. As a matter of fact, the entire tuning process took around 7-8 hours. Ed made sure that the tune was perfect, and "felt" exactly how he wanted it before he even hinted that we were almost done. Even then, after we were "done," Ed continued to monitor the low speed drivability as we were heading back through town, and made minor adjustments as he saw fit.

The final result is an extremely smooth, and incredibly powerful beast. This car accelerates like no other car I have felt before, and I have ridden/driven some VERY powerful cars in my time.

EDIT: oh yea, this is on crappy 91 octane, I will be going back to Ed later on for a 100 octane tune.

and without any further delay:

Thanks! It IS about damn time! lol

I'll probably try and get another BDG going soon, but with all the recent activities and BS tickets that have been getting handed out lately, I'm kinda weary to go to any of the bigger meets anymore, especially when they are in the Fremont/Milpitas/San Jose area's.

among other things, there was a major, unforeseen change to the plan that was not expected, but I'm kinda glad it happened at this point.

I really don't want post a list online, if you catch my drift.

Dude Ted, man that's crazy it's taken this long. But you had a lot of other unforeseen problems over the past couple years. Nice to see you finally got your subie at least part way where you wanted it.
