That's fine bro. I gave you the option when we were on the dyno to turn the timing up but after seeing the car loose power at 16 degrees I knew something was up ie: bad gas or something to that affect.
bottom line I still feel my car can make more power

are people paying attention here? A smoothed out graph is posted and all is ok? So now smoothing is a better representation of the tune? cmon...the guy just said it himself "I on the other hand turn the filters down so I can see more "raw" data to make better corrections". Smoothing makes the "appearance" better people....
To the tuner....It goes leaner towards higher rpm and its clearly over 12:1 near the peak in raw data. You saw that bump at 6k+ and said "ok its good"?
took it to a dynojet with the tune on it it made 595hp after a few tweaks it made 629hp and 597tq put vhe on the tires and then it put down 601Tq
I told you the car would make 600 on a dynojet! Sorry if you think my dyno reads low, I think it reads correct! I have seen to many 600hp 03-04 cobras go 12s at the track to believe dynojet numbers. We can argue for days and nights about dyno numbers, but at the end of the day its just a tool to measure your power gains and loses, to find out if your testing and attempts to make power are good or bad. I have to day this in my defense, I did not feel very comfortable tuning a stock bottom end car on pump gas with 20lbs of boost!!! I would have no problem on a built bottom end car that used only known good fuel. I build some nasty combos at my shop and some very fast cars and when we tear the motors down for refreshening the internals look like the day they were put in. One of my personal cars goes 8.50s @169mph and when I tore it down this past winter the pistons all looked brand new! Oh, and sorry for the same posts over and over, THis site would not put my posts up so I kept of trying and now they are all up...
I will say that Justin's (VMP) tune was a mail order and extremely safe tune as a mail order tune should be. I am not knocking him one bit here. I deal with him a good bit and he is a ultra knowledgeable tuner and a good guy that knows a ton more than I do! So please dont mistake what I was saying in prior posts.
I can vouch for Tim. He tuned my vortech 2v for me. I was initially a little disappointed with the numbers that I got(355/399 through a stock automatic trans) but like he says the dyno numbers are only for tuning purposes. I have gone a best of 12.14 @ 113 and If you look at the Time slip database on this site, nearly every car around my time is over 400 horsepower. Like he said, he is not in business to run people's cars on the edge and risk blowing a motor with stock internals. At the end of the day dyno numbers don't mean anything, if you wan't to know where your car stands, go to the track and race it!
once I get drag radials and my new fuel level sender comes in and I have my gas gauge working again ill take it to the trackI also could care less about Dyno #'s. My car makes 377hp but runs 11.0@122. Take it to the track and see what it runs

mind telling who retuned it, and mainly what all did he change to pick up that extra 30whp?
