All I know is that my car now pulls like a freight train..they difference between its previous tune of 335HP and 360HP is huge. The push into your seat acceleration doesn't come from the power, it's the torque Hey spiko, when we goin' for another cruise? Think my old man's keen for you to take him for a run in the phoon he was quite impress what the rear end was doing from 90k/h when we were following you.

Read my other thread 'my 20S have been wrecked'. I don't think she would pass scrutineering with those wheels, and I sold my 17s. BIG mistake!!

Can anyone tell me where they are know and if they are any better.Sorry to hijack....Cheers.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only heard excellent feedback from people who have had their cars tuned there, and I am over the moon with the work they have done on my car.

gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 6m 17d Posted 01/03/10 02:49 AM Share Posted 01/03/10 02:49 AM (edited) I laugh at dyno figures. I had a number of different tuners from small operations to big operations. Each tuner runs my car up on the dyno and it makes about 270 rwkw. Then they tune my car and is makes about about 300 rwkw to 340 rwkw. But when I run the car at calder park the tunes from the big operation which make closer to the 300 rwkw mark are faster and my 60 foot time are the same matter who tunes my car. Also the tunes from the big operations are smoother and are nicer to drive everyday.I wouldnt say im an expert but there are too many variables to measure improvement from your 60ft times. You should see a difference in mph and hopefully ET as well though. Edited 01/03/10 02:49 AM by gregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
