And the 340whp isn't bad either

Whoa that is not bad. What FI kit are you on? your setup?

Yup it seems like he's with CSG but does dyno tuning at TRL. awesome. Yea i ended up waiting off and i ordered a JDL 4-2-1 black coated.

so I told Neal i would wait, since he got like the most experienced tuner for the twins on the west coast. i wanted to make it worth it since its a bit more pricey. SO a bigggg o wait, cant wait.
If someone wants a pretty dang new Gruppe-s UEL headers its for sale.=D its also black ceramic coated.

The biggest improvement was predictability. Much easier to drive around town, and WOT is actually full bore whereas previously it seemed like all of the range was a log curve all in the 0-50% throttle range.

I'm on 8"/225's and it has some trouble keeping traction ripping through 3rd, and on the chart you can see the little blip around 4k where my clutch was slipping in 5th, but I consider that rod insurance for my DD... prefer to burn some consumables than put a window in the block

Yea i believe it. Our transmissions are rated for ~200lbs but obviously alot of people has seen it go past that. Is your engine built? Thats alot of power for a stock motor, if it is.

I just love the torque from turbo boost. =) But shoot, this might just sway me. Oh well as long as we got Zach. Ill be happy.

Stock engine @ ~50k. 30k boosted so far, 5k on this tune. I don't beat on it too hard, just the occasional canyon run and spirited driving/onramp pulls, so YMMV but in any case Zach and Neal are good people and know their shit. Good luck with whatever you decide!
