LDG seems a little too far for me...I haven't mapped it out, but maybe I should. It just seems like you guys are the lucky ones as you only have to drive a couple hours tops to locate your tuner. There's jack squat where I live...just corn & beans...

I've read about Jon, but I've also read about his pricing and "bait & switch." I don't know for sure about the bait & switch, but I'm not gonna drive all that way thinking 1 price, and then have to dish out more... I wish there was someone within a couple hour drive. That way if something isn't right (belt,tensioner, etc...) then I can have it fixed and go back without it bothering me...

after spending tens of thousands of dollars on mods for cars over the years, I assure you being overcharged by 20% at LDG was a shocker. I've never felt more taken advantage of and won't ever return...all over a stupidly small amount of $$. For me, it's the principle.

I still have stock head... my rev limiter has been 7500 for I don't even know how long... in fact for over a year the rev limiter has been gone... and I have seen 9400... but that was an accident LOL...

7500 is fine with the stock valve train...

heh heh like I said it was an accident... sounded awsome though.... like a motor cycle... normally since I am twin 7500 is more than enough... sometimes 8... depending on the situation... once I get the SC off the T only 8k will be a regular thing.. maybe more...

Just think, the new BMW M is a V8 reving to 8400, has to sound wild.

I meant for any long periods of time. I'd be scared out of my mind taking the stock valvetrain up to 9400 .

yeah I was like... OH SH...OOT! but 7500 is no problem.... all day.. ok well not all day.. but you know what I mean... heck... the SC went out before my valve train when testing WOT at 7500 for I dunno how many minutes at 150+ MPH... it was amazing... the car was so solid... right up till the SC said "good day sir!"

I would be careful running it to 7500 with the stock head.

Longboard

the secert is in the tune! he modifys the software himself, he isn't using a traditional flash

i had tremendous results with mines tune on tex guthries car that i built. it was a night and day difference.

Also, 7500rpm with the stock head is totally fine. I don't know why people say its not... i have logged thousands upon thousands of race miles reving to 7500 rpm with stock valvetrain and never once have i had a problem! EVER.

Saygoodbye,
Sorry, I didn't get a copy of my afm chart from Mynes. I got to see it on a screen to make sure the afm was correct but didn't request a copy.
