Subject: Re: New TB, Hopefully more HP by rklessdriver on 2009/1/21 1:33:09 GOD NO. Ed did a great job on my car. In fact I'm still running the initial tune he did on the car when I was having problems. When I was sorting out my lifter bleed down problems, I took the car to a local Mustang and import tuner place that has a Dyno Jet because they were close by. Ed is a couple of hours south of me and its a a bit of toruble to drive a 3 hours just to make test pulls... At any rate I told the dip shit at the import place to turn it 6500rpm on the first pull, so I could get a good look at the AF ratio before I gave him the go ahead on further pulls... I tell him and the shop manager I got a bunch of $$$ in the motor and don't want to grenade it because the tune might be too far off now. I let himknow about all the lifter problems I was having and that I was sure I had most of it sorted now. I told him if everything looked OK to me on the AF ratio I'd let him turn it up on the NEXT pull... he says cool. He starts the pull and I hear the motor go about 6500rpm and then way past, it's freaking screaming... then I hear it bang the rev limiter for about 2 seconds before he lets out of it. "Sorry man I didn't expect it to accelerate that fast, what's the rev limiter set at anyway?" I told him not to worry about it and get my f'n Corvette off his dyno right now. Pretty much the end of those clowns ever even seeing my car again, even for something as simple as a $40 dyno pull. On top of that these fuck-o's are blabbing all around NOVA that my car has nearly 480RWHP, turns 8000RPM (which is BS as the rev limiter is set at 7400rpm) and not to get duped into running me.... I haven't even got my dyno sheet email from them yet but no matter as every street racer in the freakin area has already seen it. Like I said, I'm looking at checking out a local guy in Manassas VA. Rich (93ragtop on CF) is going to scope him out for me to see if he can be trusted. I'd like to have ED do every dyno pull it ever makes. I know I can trust him, he treated mine and the motor I built for Noland (blackharleyman on CF) real good, but he's just too far away for this incremental trouble shooting stuff on my car. Once I reach a point where the tune ED orginally did for me is not safe for the motor I'll have him re-do it. That's probally going to happen with this TB and re-worked intake. Will |
