Red Dragon said:Don't take this wrong guys, but KB already has a "safe" tune IMHO. The car runs great with no detonation and it gets fantastic gas mileage. Not to say that it can't be improved; just that the "safe" tune seems to come stock with the thing. With that said, the unit is new and Tim might be able to squeeze some more power out of it if he gets a chance to play with one. Kb said the tune is for 91 Octane and I can get 93 and 94, so I might put the 11# pully on to see how it works. After driving the car with the 9#, it feels safe to me. I am anal and have a healthy dose of good paranoia, so I will drive the car carefully with the 11#. I have a good feel for detonation so I am not worried about grenading the engine. Now all I will need is some "spare" time to put it on. They did include the tool to put the pully on.
I have been away for a few days; that means I have to play catch-up AGAIN at work. Lets hope I can stay grounded for awhile so I can schedule time at Kennedy's. I REALLY am going to go get numbers, but work has been dogging me lately, plus I am in the middle of renovating my new office building. Friggin contractors scheduled to show and become no-shows, bulding parts coming in wrong, etc. etc..
Hopefully I can schedule some time within a week, but don't hold your breath. There are a ton of new computer viruses out there and that sometimes keeps us real busy for awhile stomping them out. So-far-so-good; no calls yet. I also had a customer's computer room flood last night. Somebody thought that the UPS should be placed on the floor after I put it up on a shelf...... :OT: Ok, I degress. I am sure you get the picture.
The KB is still running great and each day I check it over with a fine tooth comb. No coolant leaks, oil is staying at the right level, etc. etc.
There is a bad side to the KB, so-to-speak. My wife has noticed that my right foot is almost always matted to the floor on her mini-van. It is driving me nuts! It is strange how quickly we become accustomed to the ease of power with one of these blowers. So now, when I am in the mini-van, it feels like the thing is almost dead; therefore why my foot is always mashing the gas. Oh.... she wants a KB blower for her mini van. Yes, I almost hit the floor when she said that! Strange enough, KB sells a reprogramming job for her computer. The price seems a little too steep to me though. I think my wife is morphing on me. She also requested that I put my old Mustang trunk spoiler on her Buick Century. Funny thing is, it fits like it was made for it. I will let my son take care of that job.
Well, work is waiting and I got a ton of it. Be patient (as much as can be expected); I will get to Kennedys withing the next couple of weeks. ...I hope.
BETTERBULLITT said:Yep, if Tim and Steeda come out with a "safe" tune for these KB blowers that would be the ultimate street set up!!
C'mon Tim! You can do it!
cobra killer said:Steeda has nothing to do with this.
I have the ability to REFLASH computers and build a tune..
KenB,what these guys are refering to is a total package with an adaptive tune.A "chipped" tune can in know way come near the ability of a reflash tune.These cars pull and add timing /fuel per surrounding conditions.Thats why they are all over me to come up with something...

No problem Red, when you can. I am still involved with a military exercise all this week, so nothing until Sat will happen take you time and thanks tonsRed Dragon said:Well guys, I just took some precious time out of my schedule to post my notes on my install, only to loose them before posting! :damnit: I am not a good typest and accidentally hit the wrong key in my haste to get it typed out quickly. I was 2 minutes away from copying it into my clipboard too because of fear of losing it. So, I will have to do it later. I had hoped to get it out for Brightblue00GT. Maybe I can get it done tonight. I really have to get back to work. This really pissed me off!!! I don't have time to waste. Oh well. Next time I will do it in Word, then paste it into the message area.
