It probably took about a week or so to get it to them and have them send it back with the flash done. If you are interested just go to their website and get their telephone number. Call up and ask one of the representatives if they can do that for you. It would at least get you to a place that could properly tune your car.

ok, I have two questions. what twin screw sc can mount with a stock hood?
and how far would I be able to travel on the tune that I would be emailed. I am having to look pretty far to find a shop that I would trust to tune my car.

I think part of the the OP's question, if I may read between the lines, is about longevity.

you're retarded if you actually believe that

If the engine gets detonation/preignition, it experiences 9000x that of normal cylinder pressure. THAT is what cracks/bends rods and pistons.

You think 10 measly PSI is going to do anything?

You do realize at idle most engines experience 10-14 PSI of VACUUM right?

Negative pressure is still pressure, he'd probably experience more negative pressure than postive pressure.

10 PSI isn't even doubling atmospheric pressure, but 9000x under preignition is something like 2.8x10^8 or 9 Pounds Per Square inch

You still want to give this guy bad advice?

There are PLENTY people running ported heads/cam blown engines running 425rwhp for YEARS with no problems to speak of.

Stop giving other people advice until you at least have SOME clue about what your speaking on.

Your point only reinforces what I've stated. You've actually stated that cylinder pressures break rods. Isn't that exactly what I said?

And my point is specifically related to longevity. You can't argue that high cylinder pressures have no adverse effect on longevity. If you believe that, you're the one with the handicap.

Also, just because there are people out there doing it doesn't make it the right thing to do. People are shooting heroin too. Are you going to push some of that crap into your arm??

Whatever....go away.
