Ed,

I meet you last year in Mannheim, I think you were working on a firebird??? Could be wrong about car, anyway I am Will, and I had the Red Mustang pictured below, I was building a 383 Stroker and putting a T-76 turbo on it, We talked briefly about it, but I am sure you dont remember... I am running the combo stated with a AEM EMS, can you tune this? I am making it a track only car, and havent even got the EMS in the car yet, but plan to do this next week (time allowing). If so what kind of price would I be looking at? thanks... Feel free to PM me... Will

Hey, man!! I remember you!! At the hobby shop right? We talked in the parking lot.
I've never tuned an AEM, but I'm sure they're so similar to the rest of them, that it shouldnt be a problem. Send me a link to the software.
I dont know how many I'm gonna have lined up though. Thats the only problem.
I'll be over there March 21st to the 30th. I'll be available for at least 3 solid days during this time. I will probably take deposits to hold reservations for tuning. Probably 6 or 8 cars. If a mod or admin can make a list, or should I? That way we have a sign up going?
BTW, I met Lancer this past Saturday. He came out to my shop.
If anyone needs a reference, check this out. Lancer posted on the corvette forum looking for people that knew me.

I reckon here should be fine ... I can just use this reply and update it ... have you found anything out about the easter holidays? Or whether you'll be back in June?

Some very nice cars for sure, wish I had taken my camera with me

98 C5 vert - 510hp and every gizmo imaginable - beautiful car
C5 Z06 - forged 346ci LS6, Heads/cam, K-B supercharger for a meager 700rwhp :shock:

01 Z06 - bone stock 77K miles in for a baseline dyno run made 336rwhp
LS2 GTO - didn't see the final numbers, but I think someone posted that you picked up another 35rwhp with the tuning?

Over all a great morning, glad I took the Tahoe, would have been embarrassed to have my little abused coupe in the mix with those cars. But as soon as I get the parts in for my suspension, I'm taking my car up and will do the engine work later in the year.

I made it official last week. I'm getting out of the AF this summer, so I need to get a job lined up before I start dumping all my saving in a car or risk living in it or worse moving back in with my parents :shock:

Just don't let someone use my car to take their kids to school. :shock:

Garry, add me as well. FINALLY! :ok:

I'll be on leave starting the 21st for the whole week JUST TO MAKE SURE I DON'T MISS THIS ONE.

Yep. I tuned both of those. The white one we did a cam and head swap on about a year ago, and picked up over 25 hp with lower compression, and a milder cam!!!
The blower car, I tuned like 60 hp and 80 some ft lbs of torque into it!!
And then DROPPED the boost and picked up another 17 hp!! Although it cost a little low end torque. But when ya got 600 ft lbs at 2500 rpm, you can afford to loose a little!!!!!!!!

No comment. Long story. That guy is an, um, "adversary?" (sp?)
Needless to say, he HATES me. I've taken a bunch of his business. Even before that all happened. I wouldnt wish it on anyone though.

BTW, cant wait. I'm very excited. I love Germany.

Ed
Just wondering if you have a hard date for Germany yet. Got to get permission in advance to miss work. That military thing you know.
I am highly interested in the Speed density tune for the road tracks and the MAF tune all for around driving.

Hi Roy. Yes, the dates I'll be there are from the 21st to the 30th. I responded to the thread on CF too. If you would like, get your name on the list, and you'll be in line.
I think autobahnZ06 (Nick?) was interested too. I will try to get him to respond here and get his name on the list too.
Anyone wanna try and set up a dyno for a day or two? I'm open to suggestions. Any dynojets in the area? Anything other than the Bosch ones? They're alright, but def something I'm not used to.
Lemme know guys, thanks!!

I just did a quick search on Google, seems like the only places using Dynojet are using the one for motorcycles ...

What have you guys been using? As far as dynos? Are you using the Bosch shops?

jinstall · **Posted:** Wed Feb 06, 2008 6:38 pm

Portable dyno + Bitburg = $$$$$

Garry for some reason I cannot post when I veiw messages in the new post link.

with all the problems I've been having it might be nice for someone to take a look at my trans tables. I might have to jump on this band wagon!

Superflow AWD SF-880 in Stuttgart

BTW, if anyone needs help now (as in trans tables as posted above) and you are using EFIlive, you can email me your tunes so I can see if theres anything I can do ahead of time.
I can make changes and send them back.
If any of you want to do this, it would be better to have a run log with all the pertinent pids.

jinstall · **Posted:** Thu Feb 07, 2008 6:29 pm

I need to get back to my books so I can follow.

Prufstand is the german word for dyno right? I think there is a small one in Ingelheim I can stop at and ask what the rental price is.

Garry · **Posted:** Thu Feb 07, 2008 6:34 pm

Yes, PÃ¼fstand or more complete LeistungsprÃ¼fstand ...
Can it take 400+HP?

Who owns the Superflow? We may need to go there at least with the SC Camaro. Silas'?

SRZ · **Posted:** Thu Feb 07, 2008 7:42 pm

Yeah Ed we'll need to go there for sure.

Like I said whenever where ever.

Roy · **Posted:** Thu Feb 07, 2008 9:06 pm

The superflow in Stuttgart is owned by Henni Gmbh.
The problems I have had with the Bosch dynos here are, most hp and speed limited and their graphs really suck since most are speed vs hp.

Garry · **Posted:** Thu Feb 07, 2008 9:29 pm

That's the place that had the tune event last year, right?
