Cal Hartline is the man! (old news I know)

[Limited87]

I wanted to personally thank Cal and Holly Hartline of Hartline Performance for all there help sunday at Norwalk. Cal did all the tuning and dialing of my car with the new FAST system I installed. If anyone has any ideas of buying a FAST XFI system and getting it somewhere else.. DONT!

The amount of time he spent with me on a day when he couldnt have been much busier was second to none. He taught me alot in the small amount of time we had to work with due to the rain out friday. My car is running smooth as glass and is beyond fun to drive. My days of running 9s and trying to get a chip right for that combo are OVER!!!

THANKS AGAIN CAL!!!

Thank you, Brian! What a beautiful car. Get that convertor fixed, and I predict 9.4's. We really appreciate your buisness along with everyone else who purchased from us at Norwalk.

Thanks again Cal! Im already on it.. Dusty is on the job! I will talk with you this week on those timing light numbers we discussed.

Hey Cal.....I think it just needed more power. It was spec'd for a 6500 rpm shift point so it was just riding the converter at it's coupling point. More power should have taken the rpm higher. If it will be shifted at less than 6k it definately needs an adjustment.

We had the same situation with Todd's car this weekend. It was riding down the track, hanging around 6500 rpm. 5 more # of boost and it went to 7500 no problem, blowing out the true street class with a 5.49 on 275/60's and they booted him out. Can't have a real street car embarassing all those 2900# Mustangs:biggrin:

Congrats on the passes Brian. Whatever you decide to do, we'll get you fixed up.

Dusty, that could have well been the case and helped alot. I just wasnt real ready to lean on and push the car being the first day out and everything being so fresh. Not to mention the insane heat sunday. Ive been in touch with Keith and I think were gonna try the other converter and see how it goes. I appreciate all your help, knowledge and expertise! Its guys like you that make doing this TR thing very worth while and fun!
