Default Charlie Williams Tune

I just had a email tune form Charlie Williams@RPM. Man that guy is good. He tuned my Maggie A6 C6 from just two street runs and then today, a week, later I am on the dyno and he made a small adjustment from one dyno run and the car is perfect. We did the dyno run in Denver. I emailed him my dyno data and my ECU file from the dyno shop. He made the adjustment and emailed it back, Johnny On the Spot. I made the upload and did another dyno run.

Perfect 11.5 AFR, no knock, and LTs and STs were on the money. I wanted a nice safe AFR compatible with 5200 feet and sea level. That AFR is pretty horizontal in the target range.

465 rwhp 436rwtq with just a Maggie (standard pulley) and Borla Stingers. Thanx Charlie!

Chris

Thanx. I had a crappy tune before and very disappointed with the result, from another shop, not Charlie.

At first I thought the Maggie was not all it was cracked up to be, however as I just found out today a good tune makes all the difference.

Man, a good tuner is hard to come by.

I can post the dyno I had before, but it was embarrassing. But it is a good lesson in why a good tune is very important.

No doubt about it, great guy and a great tuner.

I am very happy with my tune, now mind you these Maggie numbers
are making me lust for that kind of performance.

I travel a lot for my business, if I ever get around one of you guys
with a Maggie, I would love to go for a ride (my wallet may not
like it though )
