Default Car is on the dyno being retuned.

Well, got my Stang dyno tuned in September and afew weeks ago I found out the dyno was not calibrated and the tuner had my car running really rich. Took the car to a very high dollar tuner, a week and a half ago. This tuner does mostly LS1, LS2 and Vipers. Mine is the first Mustang he is tuning with the X-cal and SCT software. Just got off the phone with him and I am pretty happy. He got a nice baseline with no timing and 12.8 A/F. The car put down 316RWHP and 326RWTQ. He is very confident to get at least 30 more HP and TQ out of it with some timing and tweaking.

I ahd a real bad experience with the last tuner (FRICKIN' DIC#HEAD), he locked the tune so the new tuner had nothing to go by. He said the motor pulls very strong and had a few dips at the 3700 rpms mark and 4500 rpm mark. YIPPPPEEEEEE.

i think i read on a diablo dealer webpage, that it cost about 500 for 3 runs and a tune, i don't know if that was for a dyno tune, or 3 dyno runs and a custom diablo tune.
