Yesterday November 4th 2007,
I finally went got a set up time and chance to get my car tuned by steve!..
my car was running with the Power FC for a while now with out major tune but it was set just for driveability. The ideal was off, AFR was wayyyy off, ignition map was off, and the list keeps on going. After the custom addition to the turbo, which allow it to run at 10lbs of boost w/o boost creep, we installed the AFR sensors, hooked up the laptop to the powerFC w/ the datalogit, and finally checked to see if everything was functioning properly. First thing steve says "Dude your fucked AFR is sooo fucken rich!!" lol. (which explains the frequent stops at the gas station to fill up.) We got down to tuning the whole EMS with a Program or system (however you want to say it) called the Datalogit. Took awhile for steve to get the hang of the datalogit system, since he is so use to the haltechs programs, but when he did it was boom boom boom he started to knock down all the pins that the PoweFC had standing in his way!!!.lol

These are the stuff he Tuned that I know of:
  1. Air and Fuel Ratio (AFR)
  2. Fuel Map w/ live time reading and writing
  3. Ignition Map
  4. Timing map
  5. Inspected the Engine for major internal or external Damages
RESULTS:

Total time was about 3 - 3 1/2 Hours
But the results were WORTH every minute that was spent tuning with him. The car ran so well that it even took out a Camaro SS with heavy cams, huge ass hood, and some mean ass racing slicks in the rears!!.. whats even funnier was we gave him a head start!. From what you could see i have very lite mods and nothing MAJOR done to the head or block but rather it was the tuning that changed my car from night to day!!! I am very happy with the results and i would love to do business with him again!!


EVERYONE has to check him out if you need help with serious racing or serious tuning!!!!!!
Or if anyone has any question regarding anything i posted PM me or Steve.
