Got the car tuned today

[SVT Lurch]

I finally scrounged up some "extra" money so I could do something to my car. (I haven't done anything but maintenance in about a year.) I decided a tune would be my best bet since gears and long tubes both have downsides and there's nothing else I really wanted to do. I just wanted to get a tune so I could know with confidence that the car was running optimally for now. I also wanted a "bad" tune for when I go back and forth to school, since I can't always find 93. Jeremy came through in a big way. The car made the same power today (100+ degrees in the shop) that it did this winter, and came up 12 lb/ft of torque. Not to mention the power coming on sooner, smoother. The car is silky smooth now where it used to stutter like it had a cam with the A/C on and sometimes at tip-in. The graph also smoothed out quite a bit from the old one.

Old Numbers: 270.3/263.9
New Numbers: 269.7/276.3

Mods: K&N, pullies, alumunum D/S, catted Bassani X, Magnapacks.
Car: stock 97 Cobra that turns 9 on Sunday with 68,300 miles on it.

I hope you are talkin about STROKD and not the 04. I don't doubt at all STROKD could be me N/A, it should with a 408 to my 302. I've always said your car is badass and exactly what I want to build just in a Cobra body. :rockon:


Lurch - Boost > Nitrous. :beer:

It's not. It's a turd still, but fun to drive. I figured out that floormats don't belong in a FOX body and prohibits WOT in a serious way. :lol1:

Nice numbers for what you have done to your car already, Im sure you have something on the backburner ready to slap on, lol. I will be slower than all of you by next week.

Where have ya been at the meets Trey?

Two weeks ago I was at Ennis. Last Friday I was in a REALLY bad mood and didn't think driving would've been a good idea. This Friday I'll be out of town at a family reunion. But next Friday I'm in for sure, because after that I'll be back at school.

 

[foofinator]

In a bad mood bro? Do you need a possee to go kick someone's ass? Hell JKD is a one man ninja army.
