I went for MM SFC weld and now I have it on my car. Can't wait to make a hard turn to see how good it make a different.

As you all know my car was eating lot's of gas, I ask him to do dyno . To my surprise I made less power :( last time it was 291.12 rwhp and now it pulled only 281.18rwhp and 297.33 torque. I lost 11rwhp and 4 torque. I am not happy, and my SCT is not working right cause my revlimet is 6200 but he went 6300 rpm and didn't cut fuel. I am sure that stock SCT program is fu**ed up. I am taking it back to have custom sct dyno tune on monday.

I think my cams are breaking in .
I have allways use Autolite 764 copper spark plug before and last time I change it to autolite platinum 764 and now my car takes 1-3 start to start up my car. Do you guys think maby I loss my hp due to spark plug ? I am going to change it back to autolite 764 copper today.

What you guys think about Tim @ MPH ? I heard lot's of good tune from him, maby I should buy a mail order tune from him.
 
Its possible......I use the Autolite Platinums AP764's gapped at .53 and the car put down 268 adn 304 with stock cams on an auto, I went to the store last time and ran the coppers and noticed more throttle responce but didn't keep them in there.....what do you gap your plugs at?

"ED"

every ones tell me not to use platinum plugs, I guess I now know why.

I just talk with Tim @ MPH and he wasn't sounding nice. Sounds like he didn't want to deal with me cause I am here in las vegas. I told him I will like to get mail order tune , he told me $ 399 for a tune WTF. What a ****d tard

well, did you tell him you already have a tuner? I'm sure that price includes a hand held tuner w/ the tune installed on it.
 
I don't think he will do mail order tunes without you buyng an xcal.

as for the dyno numbers, how were the conditions? don't let those arbitrary numbers get you down. gret some ETs instead :).
 
ill be honest, i was also going to order my blower through tim but i can never get a responce from him. i emailed him right on his site and it said email sent to owner. i guess he dont want to make 4000 dollars.:shrug:

ill prolly go through superchargersonline.com now.
 
Tim is EXTREMELY busy, I guess he just doesnt have time anymore.

Iv met Time personally and he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet...he would strap the car down and then come over and talk for 5-10 minutes....then go do something esle and come back and chit chat. Then tuned the car and came and talked with us for about 15 minutes while the car cooled down...then had me go drive it to make sure everything was perfect.

He probably gets alot of "well i dont know...maybe I should do this or that, what do you think." He just probably doesnt have much time for trivial things, and who knows, could have had a bad day.
You can imagine how many phone calls the guy gets, EVERYONE wants to talk to Tim....man I would be mad as heck at everyone if I were under that much pressure.

He would probably want you to get a local dyno tune since you N/A...it doesnt take much to tune probably.
LOL he was suprised that we drove all the way from Texas for his tune and was like "wow, there arent any good dyno tuners in Texas? Its ashame you had to drive this far just to get a good tune" .

Anyways thats my take on it....and im driving back out there again in about a month. With FI, i will trust NO ONE ELSE BUT TIM, HANDS DOWN. N/A is much harder to screw up and safer.
 
No matter how bussy he is customer is his bread and butter. Even I am in a bad day at work, I still have to talk to customer with smile cause if they don't buy from me how am I going to put food in my table and for my car :)
