Let's been more then 9 months since I got my cams done. The tuner I used to go to is new with SCT tunning so he never could tune it right. Dynoed at 293rwhp and 303torque with off road h-pipe.

After I changed with upr cats x-pipe and magnaflow magnapack my car went down hill and never get tune right. He told me it's leaning bad so I put in SVT Focus fuel pump and went back to get it tune but he couldn't tune it right and he said it's still lean. He even said my new cats burned out and I was like WTF.

So I finally got hold of good tuner here in vegas who tune car only on saturday for extra money. His name is Dyno Dan and heard lot's of good things about his tune just like Tim at MPH.

So I went to get his awesome tune yesterday, the first run he did and showed my the dyno I was like WTF cause it was so lean it was at 10.1 A/F and my last tuner was saying lean and keep on adding fuel. I was getting about 12.9mpg.

After an hour he did his own custom tune and Bam my car is great. It pulled 277rwhp and 290torque. I lost some power with my cats x-pipe but the tune now is dead on. My car now runs like it's brand new with now mods

I have no bucking or driving issue, I can now drive on 5th gear with out bucking or
hiccups. I used to get hiccuos and bucking on ever gear.

Sorry for the long story, just wanted to tell my story about how good tune with low hp is better then high hp with shi**y tune.

I am super happy with my new tune and car feel, runs great. Finally after all the trouble I can finally enjoy my car Yayyyyyyyyyy

My car still bucks and jerkes at low RPM in every gear...its been tuned my Tim @ MPH two times now....the last was based from his mongoose kit, so it was totally new. Still have the same issue....I dont know what the heck is wrong. Apparently something is wrong, but im not sure where the problem lies. But glad your car drives good now

Also change your oil...with 10.0-1 A/F you could have gas in your oil!
but im suprised how much your power dropped???? Cats only rob about 3-5 RWHP on a N/A car at best. Im thinking the other guy was inflating your #s.
With NO LTs, your car is inline with what mine made W/O LT headers....I put down 274/292 on Tims dyno.
All you need are some LTs and I see you busting well into the 290s.

I had to change valve springs cause mine is comp cam XE 270 AH-13, less cam don't need valve spring like XE 262AH. I went with comp cam beehive valve spring and suggest you to change it even you don't have to , better be safe .

Have any question let me know

No LTs for me cause of install cost and don't want to do it my self . Boost some day in near future.

My car runs great with stock feeling but with more power, I am glad I got a different tuner . Hope your car get fixed soon cause I was hateing my car when was not running right. I will change my oil soon, thanks for the warning

Wow really? So apparently it is in the tune...it may be almost impossable to tune out....blow through MAF setups are known to cause drivability issues.
My friends talon gave him all sorts of weird issues while it was blow through, so he changesd to draw through and he said it fixed ALL of his problems...go figure lol.

Oddly enough my car still had issues N/A though...they just got worse after I went with this setup. Then adding the spec stg 3 clutch....I had to learn how to drive smoothly with it, because it could easily send my car into a bucking frenzy.

Well, after letting my dad drive the car, whos been driving manuals all his life, and having him stall it 3 times in a row and then once moving, having the car buck like a MAD MAN...I realized two things.
A. wow im darn good at driving around the cars issues...you would almost never know the car even had drivability issues.
B. WOW my cars drivability SUCKS!

Its funny after slamming back and forth for a few seconds, he tried to hit 2nd....and that made it worse and buck even harder LOL. He was actually getting mad with the car after about 30 seconds . But once over about 2000RPM it all goes away, and it drives perfect.

What does this mean? If your the adverage car theif, who steals 5spd toyota camrys and small 5 spd trucks, and you think your going to just hop into my car and drive away with it.....you've got another thing coming .
