Hoping the seafoam and the few runs I made at the track with racing gas got the gunk out and they'll give me back my 6deg of timing!

I didn't pay for dyno time - as Doug told me - tuning on a dyno is primarily for cars with so much power that trying to do it on the street is just not safe. I watched Doug pull out onto the street with the C7 + blower "just to test streetability" after the dyno mods - the tires blew off that thing at the first wack of the throttle - the only way to tune that sucker was on the dyno!

I understood that cars need a street tune and the DYNO is just a tool used in the tuning process, no?

My car - essentially stock - street tune only - and its made a real difference!

That 700hp F16 - after the dyno it went on the street with the datalogger attached to measure I guess things like part-throttle response and "typical highway driving".

My typical tuning process is street, dyno, then back on the street again. Works for me.
