^^^Simon is right.

I know you want more power but remember you are on a stock internals.

^^this

And you can get numbers. you just need to data log and use programs like Virtual Dyno or Air Boy. I used Virtual Dyno to establish my base line and then used it again in between ROMs to measure gains and losses.

Ed, those that were tuned on Sunday were extremely satisfied with their tune...I wish we had a facility similar to Maui where all the cars can be road tuned...maybe a bit longer...

Trying to do it safely and legally on Oahu is our problem...

The smiles after their first ride in their "new" cars are always PRICELESS!

Yeap. Road tuned safely to 26psi.

Mind bending, crazy pulls all the way to redline in fourth gear. Third gear WOT is not even funny.

Needs new 100psi aquamist plumbing now though. Started leaking right after the tune. He's going to ship me new ones and a custom made fail safe hi-speed valve. LOL.

It's a very, very different car from my last FP Green. Wicked spool down low all the way to the top. Also new intake.

Meth injection kits are awesome but can be fragile and will bring up the cost of your overall fuel consumption (gas and meth purchases) If you are willing to maintain your car with meth, go for it. If you just want to start your car and drive away all the time and on the lazy side of not topping off your meth mix, stay away.

Please provide Brent the sticker info so I can tally up the total number of stickers to print before I start production.

Christian, sorry your car didn't perform or get tuned to its potential during this tune...

Keep up your persistence, figure out your issue...and come next tune, you too will be smiling from ear to ear!!!
