Cost me heaps cos they took the diff out and simons tells me there was no need for it. Grrrr. So back on the dyno today and afr's on std tune were much better but then it would lean out at 3500rpm with the tune loaded in. Fuel pump is likely to be the issue (probably fisted from the dirt it would have been pumping). What a *&^% of a car. All this money wasted because of dirty fuel... so pi44ed off, could have got a new clutch.

There work is noticable on the dyno as AFR's dropped significantly on the std tune, so I am happy with the work they did. The fuel pump works fine on the std tune but as soon as simon loads his tune in it hits 3500rpm and then leans instantly. Don't know how simon managed to get that right leg of the gas so quick though Ben did say he had nice legs It's good to see how much more power its making below 3500 rpm in the mid range when simon started tuning it!!!! So a walbro pump will be going in and then back to the dyno AGAIN...... pi44ed off with BP now Oh and big thanks to simon.... sorry for the inconvenience bud!!!
