hey jay ! just had a guy twistin6 send me a message telling me about you !!!! so i guess we need to talk about getting it to ya !!! this guy says you are a wizz !!!! just want my lil v6 to fly !!!!

I think we could make close to 500 on our dyno with what you have. Thats easy 10s. We took the shop car out last night, which has a very similar combination as you and it ran some easy 6.80s in the 1/8th mile.

sweet !!!! i have some more done thats not posted !!! i also am getting a translator plus and 3.5" maf so that should help fine tune it !!! how far are you from murphy ??? and what do you charge for tuning ??? it will be a few weeks before i have it complete and ready for a tune !!! sounds like a nice drive thru the mountains !!!! thank you for your help !!!

 

[JayC]

I dont know where Murphy is.. Id imagine we're a pretty good haul for you. We're in Benson, NC if you want to map it. The Translator Plus is no problem.. Good piece and not that difficult to tune.

Price kind of varies depending on how long we spend on it. Probably $200-$300ish.. could be slightly less, could be slightly more.. it just really all depends.

 

[speedfreakv6]

sounds good !!! i mapquested it and your about 8 hrs away !!! but looks like would be a beautiful mountain drive !!! looks like a hotel room and north carolina in my near future !!! is that phone number posted your shop ??? if so i will call you for more info !!! man thanks a million jay !!!

 

[JayC]

Yep.. thats the shop number.

Number is in my signature.. Plus, We have a 1/8th mile Dragstrip right in the middle of Dave and I only a couple miles away..

We look forward to speaking with you.

PS: I had pretty much the same set up with my old GN and it was a beast! Dave tuned it too...

Sounds good!

Questions, What are you using as a scan tool? Data Logger? Do you have a Wide Band o2?

It will be easier/more accurate to tune using a WBo2 sensor.

[speedfreakv6]

just running a scanmaster as of now !! and no wide band !!! but i am getting translator plus and 3.5 maf !

Heard about that, the guy that services my Sprinter Vans worked at his Chattanooga Dodge store. Luckily for me my guy comes to my place now to service my stuff.

Which track is close to you guys? My parents have a cabin in Pigeon Forge, didn't know there was a track in the area. I might be interested in some of this Tune Action. :biggrin:
