Glad you corrected your tune. I read your previous post with a graph showing very rich A/F ratio. I am surprised the car ran! Enjoy your new tune. I will be doing the same once my GMPP warranty expires.

What are your A/F ratio at W0T now?

Graph looks really great for no smoothing.
Victor and Alpha are top notch and I only wish I had a reason to take my car to them.

Well I have a reason(turbo.. drool) but not the financial backing right now.

Either way, congrats on a nice change

Oh, and I was going to say--those are some pretty stout numbers for essentially a stock exhaust, tune and intake. My car put down 421/398 with intake, headers, and ported throttle body, but NO tune. I imagine I could see another 5-10, maybe 15whp with a tune, but at the time, I was waiting until I put the cam in before spending the $$ on a tune.

Do you ever come out for meets and/or the dragstrip?

Most other tuners will start off by flashing your car to someone else's tune and just touching it up and then asking for $450.00. i've delt with here in the bay area suck and are very unprofessional. Its a world of **** talking and backyard mechanics that have no idea what they are doing.
.........And that's why Tampa Tuning was started

I dont know where you went, but you should have started with Tampa Tuning. The bad experience you had is what keeps me in business.

Im glad your car is squared away now. We modify them to be more fun not a headache

I tried to meet up with you guys for the cruise! But they changed the spot from years ago. Yea I think with longtubes, HFC's and exhaust I may be able to hit 435+. I think im going to leave it be the way it is and stick a cam in it and see what it will make....I also may supercharge it too. I really didnt want to go into the motor on this car and start the headache of valvetrain problems and cam driveablity issues. The car still feels slow compared to my old GTO.
