Default retuned

So I know some of you were questioning some of the info on my last dyno sheet, especially the AFR's so my tuner decided to retune the car and after several hours and a lot of fuel trim and timing adjustments this is how it turned out. He was doing back to back runs so the thing had really bad heat soak which accounts for the lower HP rating. The car still feels very strong. Just need to get the intercooler put together soon.

On a side note my wife was out looking at my car when I got home and she wanted to know how many "dyno's" I now had. I looked at her and almost pissed myself laughing so hard.

Here you go. As always thoughts and comments wanted.

Make sure to get a smaller pulley when you re tune for your intercooler, you don't want to lose any power!

Do you have a power pipe? Also what pulley size are you running?

No power pipe and I am running the 3.6 pulley right now. Want to run the 3.3 pulley when I get the intercooler done.

Meh, I wouldn't get caught up in peak numbers especially if you don't have an intercooler and were doing basically back to back dyno pulls. I have seen as much as 15hp drops on blower cars when not given enough time to cool back down with making no changes whatsoever to the tune.

The AFR looks a whole lot better than before. I'm sure you aren't pushing the timing too far either judging by the numbers. Good deal man.

I would work on getting an intercooler on there so that the power will be there all the time and you can run a bit more boost and timing without worrying about detonation.

Right now only 8 pounds of boost. Can't get much more due to not having the intercooler.

Working on that as we speak. Just need to get all the parts together. It is still cool enough here in the desert, but won't be in a couple of months.
