I can make your car a bit faster yet, but it's not on a tune I would feel safe putting on your car. I don't like running really lean, but a little power can be had lol.
Also, as you start making more power and getting faster and faster it gets harder to make big improvements in your times.

lol o kevin simple math of air flow would give you the answer between us. the only way i can match the amount of air you flow is to go bigger. you know that and i know that so why bother? i dont mind mixing it up with faster cars coz i have a set of *****. which is more then i can say about alot of people. i dont know if i can beat travis. so why dont you just set me up for another fail.
it would be fun to see either way, remember this old retta is a 95 and a bit heavier, i guess we will see how it goes! cant wait to have this thing running even 50% better than it is..

i have no doubts kevin will get it into a much better place. he will hit his projected goal, and do it safely. if he does hit the projected goal that retta will freakin fly. you should have no issues spanking the balt.

i pretty much think i have hit the limits on this set up. if i want more i need to pony up some dollars. this will do til next year. there is absolutely nothing wrong with what this car does for what it is. for a sc car on pump gas its very strong.

This tune is so custom and far off right now that it will be done in 3 steps with each getting harder.
1st tuning the idle pretty easy since you're only working with max 750rpm range
2nd DD table harder but still easy set the A/F to 14.7 and go from there
3rd WOT tuning everyone here knows how much time that takes we're into 10 logs for marks car right now and it isn't a 100% custom job!
So I'm hoping to get set 1 and 2 done on sat and start into 3 but I think that will take a couple weeks or so to get fully worked out but for a DD it will be 100% better to drive and better on gas too! I'm surprised it doesn't surge and bog everywhere with it's current tune!

Haha you broke that one that bad too I thought you said you were gonna go easy on it. Car pulled hard on the 8psi before the coupler blew off. I'm guessing your friend didn't drive it much or all the boots would be broken since we broke 2 in one night.
Just awesome to see how happy you were and all we did was fix problems and get it running right no tuning at all... so far!
