New tune with race fuel
I took my car back to my tuner this morning to get a new tune done with 110 octane. My last tune was done with 93 octane and Aem's meth/water injection kit. I'm done until I get a new manifold. My tuner said that there was room for more but I needed a bigger spring for the waste gate if I wanted more. I gained 42 hp and 37 tq. Here is a quick video and the dyno sheet. The video is a little shaky as it was fairly windy outside. I had to stay outside because a few months ago an axle shaft had exploded from an evo and they no longer allow customers to stand in the dyno room. There are probably a few parts I should cut out, but don't feel like spending anymore time on it and I'm sure you guys don't want to wait.

It's between 25/26 pounds. My last tune was at 24/25. Yeah I'm still on the log mani. I'll be getting a tubular this fall/winter. I really do not want the car to be down again this summer. It was down most of last summer and already 3 weeks this summer due to issues. I need to decide on a mani already. I'm trying to persuade AMS to make me one.

[/QUOTE]What does ams charge for a tune? Nice numbers by the way![QUOTE]
Ams charges $225 and hour for a tune. The have a straight fee of 900 to setup and aem ems and tune it and then if you want a second map with a different fuel it's only $200. Since my first tune with the ems was with the meth I can back with race gas for the "second" map. It only took them an hour too.
Revenge, I did not expect it to be that much either. I figured it'd be a couple extra horsepower if that. One dyno plot showed the tq at 467 and 533 hp, when I show that I almost shit myself. My tuner said it had spiked and that was not the actually number. The car is running perfectly.

Sick numbers Seth. The powerband is perfect, love that the torque does not drop and it pulls to redline. You doing all this makes me want to drive my car so much more. Its already been since October, and it might not even be running this year.
