No, as Tim said, Higgins built and tuned my car. I don't think the problem is tune related. I think I beat it to death. Anyway, I'm not going to get into a pissing match regarding who's tuning software is best. I think it's more important who is doing the tuning. I would trust SCT or Tim or Higgins or MV Performance.scheister said:I thought I heard you lost a motor due to a bad SCT tune.....
Well, if my car holds up, I'll be at all of them in 2004. I enjoy meeting people from these boards. Look me up at Ennis.03trubluGT said:Two words...
YOU SUCK....
No, really, I mean you suck..... Not just because you are getting the motor, but becuase people don't let others know about coming to an event..
Communication sucks. I was at FFW Ennis (Ennis High Alumni 1986) back in September. I missed out on meeting a bunch of folks from the boards becuase of this communication thing.
Oh well, good luck and hope you get a killer....

I don't think it was, but it doesn't matter if it was or not. I'm not going for a street tune that is 100 percent safe. I'm pushing for everything we can get out of it, within reason. I wanted a 10 second street car, and that's what I got. Hopefully the stroker will get us low 10's. Not bad for a car that drives 800+ miles from Atlanta to all the FFW events.scheister said:Good luck man!! Glad to hear it wasn't a tuning issue

Jason and I are looking for 650 rwhp. Should be up and running in a few weeks. Also got larger valves, a new PA SuperComp tranny, 8 rib blower kit, and C-clip eliminators.
No, we're on the "don't ask, don't tell" policy right now. She still thinks it's in for a head gasket. Now it needs a new piston.mrvax said:Jim, quick question: Did you tell your wife that this new upgrade cost about a grand?

Just tell her we sent you a new piston, and because you're such a nice guy, we tossed in 7 more pistons, 8 rods, a new crank, and we felt like shipping it in an iron block for protection! Give her my number, I got yer back! LOL!
Not to mention the new PA Super Comp tranny you hung off the back. That piston is well protected.VTEngine said:
