Default Re:

Cobra #42,

thanks for the recommendation. I have enough horsepower already, and like to get usable feedback. This post confirmed a few things, and I'm basically done now for the sub 3200 rpm tune.

FYI: I'll not make the mistake of letting someone on a dyno run the crap out of my FE for limited results and scratches on my fenders... I've seen how that goes already on a few of my buddies cars. Half the time these tuner guys on Dynos make big claims, spout off big nunbers, but most really don't know FEs - at all. Tom at FE specialties does a fine job, and he has access to dynos if needed. Tom builds FEs at 600hp for his higher performance builds, and I've seen the dyno sheets at 612HP+ for his radical builds - with less compression than my motor. When needed, Tom is my tuner when I need him... I'm just stubborn, and like to do some things myself. In this case, it worked! Thanks.
