Tuning & Repairs Holiday

[Trough Lolly]

The 2 most respected cars that ever came from HP-F were never tuned solely by their in-house tuners anyway.

both cars had MASSIVE input from Gerry from SCT and Martin Donnan AKA Road Salmon.

We wont even talk about Nugget....

I think this has MASSIVE importance to our forum members, they have been mislead and might be spending dollars they need not spend in hands that ARENT capable.

its been a HARD lesson to learn from me and many others who have emptied out wallets into un-capable tuners, After all, arent forums to help others achieve their goals??

tis not nessecarily "hard" to do a good job for $400, just ask CV performance, I think it depends on how many times the tuner has done a certain combination/power level. I took my car to CV yesterday and with siemens dekas, pwr cooler and cat back zorst we got 255rwkws at 8psi, I'm happy with that, and it's got a bit more in it before the valve springs go in..

Good stuff Nathy. It's been a while coming but glad you've got it all sorted

no its not hard at all if the car is in GOOD HANDS.

Nizpro do re-tunes to pre customers for the price of dyno time, and results that can be had for say 2 hours dyno time can be huge!!

There are good tuners out there, their just few and far between....

As ive always said, Just becuase you own a dyno, Doesnt make you a tuner!!

Remembering how fat your AFR's were, And attending the Nizpro dyno demonstration day PROOVED that running AFR as rich as yours is looses power/torque.. Go back to him and get him to retune it closer to .85 Lambda (12.44afr).. You will pick up a massive amount of torque

So Danny, what are your plans between now and BigV3? Mine needs to be looked at.

Good work Troughy. Glad to hear you are happy mate.

I will once I get my valve springs done by nizpro. Thanks for the advice anyway Danny.

I had a run with a 300+kw BA Sedan !!!AUTO!!!! and my MANUAL kept side by side with it, I was mighty chuffed!!

Might have been a different story had I actually been driving my car, ohhh yeh you ran me with slipping 3rd gear to

But it goes to show how good your tune is, because you wouldn't have been in eye sight of my car with that HPF "race tune" you had before.

Ohhh yeh before everyone else jumps on board and wants a tune. GET IN LINE, 17psi boost spikes thanks to a wastegate port that is not big enough and a tune that needs to be sorted is coming first before all you others out there
