We can split his air fares, and then I'll make the trek to sydney to have my car finalized (valve springs and final tune)... perfect plan there mate!! now all we gotta do is convince Simon! or kidnap him!

Looks like the tuner has given you a safe tune without being too aggressive and if it's falling over at the top end it could well be valve springs which isn't going to help with you 1/4 mile time.You'll find the tuners that are delivering more grunt down low will be bringing the boost on harder @ anything up to 16psi. I think the advice they have given you re getting valve springs, exhaust (higher flowing cat) and injectors if you want more grunt down low reflects a reasonable and safe approach. As for your 1/4 mile times, well there are way too many variables there to suggest that the power figures have to be bogus just because you ran an average time. It's unlikely that the dyno figures have been smudged given the base reading of 160rwkw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
