It's been 4 hours since the smorgasbord of tuning has begun - lets see some big numbers and some smiling faces!

Well, I can report that there are nice numbers and lots of smiles. I can also report that my wife has the camera in her purse, and that she is several miles away from me. Sorry. Will certainly provide all sorts of media after tomorrow's session.

Should we start a new thread entitled Seattle RMW tune results?

Clint. Both Searocko and I gave $20 extra to Jan toward your tune. When I left at 3:30pm, Jan just started on the fifth car... Let's just say there are more 200WHP members now.

Thank you soooooo much guys! Maybe my current 210 whp club status will turn into the... (Dr. Evil pinky move with eyebrow) 225whp club status? I can't wait!

So here's a Q from an un-informed but semi-intelligent American... Is it pronounced "Jan" like we would say in the somewhat-common "Janet"... or is it "Yon" like "Yawn", rhyming with "John" but with a Y-sound preceding it?

Have I over-used my quota of hyphens? Perhaps. But this question begs answering!

I just returned home and here is a quick recap.

My configuration:
2006 MCS
Dinan CAI
Milltek exhaust
15% pulley
JCW 380cc injectors

Initial pull:
194.2 hp @ 6910
178.2 torque @ 3752

Final pull
205.8 hp @ 7300 ( I did have one pull at 209, however Jan didn't like the A/F)
182.4 torque @ 3761

I will post my graph later tonight. The car pulls much stronger throughout the entire range.


I would like to thank Jan and all the guys at Speed Factory for all their hard work.

Shane

Impressive. How many dyno runs and how long did it take to tune your car?

Nice. I like how you've made more torque everywhere and not just acheived gains through higher redline as is the common myth around these parts lately. There's a healthy dose of torque gains across the mid-range as well. Can't wait for mine on Saturday....

I beleive that it was around 6 or 7 runs and it took an hour and a half.

Yes, I would certainly agree. I was really looking for a good solid increase across the whole range and not simply a specific peak number. I am very happy with the outcome and the car pulls hard and smooth.

Awesome day today!! Many thanks to Jan for the tune and James and the crew at Speedfactory for having us today.

Specs:
2005 MCS
RMW Street Header
RMW Cam
15% pulley
380cc Bosch injectors
NGK Iridium BKR7EIX-11

stock cat-back
stock airbox and filter

Here are my numbers...




Car pulls nice and smooth and that flat spot around 2500 rpm is now gone! 6th is now a passing gear. Can't say enough about how much better it runs. It's so deceiving on the freeway, I have to really watch my speed now. Jan said my car has the highest numbers he's seen yet for a stock airbox and exhaust. The headers and cam felt great after I put them in but the tune just tied it all together.

You guys are going to LOVE it!

I was certainly very surprised and was expecting something around 190 to 195 based on my mods.

Congrats. It shows that stock exhaust or 1-ball can have big numbers too.
