They tell me that the car will be ready to pick up tomorrow but mentioned that they were not able to tune it as well as they thought. This was when I spoke to them earlier today. According to Matt, he was thinking that the computer tune was not quite right. I am just curious if you were able to figure anything out? I am trying to remember what he said specifically but he thought the power was coming on too soon and maybe the cam timing wasn't quite right? Does that make any sense? Anyway, I am wondering if you think that we can get it tuned in better later? I know that you said you are working on one yourself similar to mine. The only difference would be that mine will have a higher flowing exhaust manifold. I guess they are getting around 240whp at 9psi is what they told me but they expected to be able to get 280-300+whp. Not that 240whp is bad if the car is running right but an extra 40-60+hp is a lot and I would like to see what we could do. For now, I guess I will just get the car home and in the garage for the winter. I certanily hope everything is ok. I am pretty bummed as I spent the money for a clutch, LSD, new custom manifold, computer reflash, and now it is coming up short of expectations.
