FYI, in case you don’t want to go across the alley, Willie Figueroa custom burns chips over at J&J all the time. We need two more people to sign up to get him over again. If you or anyone else is interested let me know. Btw, base run was 347hp, 410fpt at 5500. I already installed the throttle body, power tube, MAF, and air box. Saturday I will do my lower pulley and then I will be ready to get with Willie. So let me know soon.

on!

Great numbers and take into consideration a 90 degree day with one million degrees humidity yesterday. Awesome! The stang on Chris's card is one hot ride! Why did you sell it? That would have been a garage queen in my books.

I do know one guy who wants to get a tune from Willie, but he is organizing some mods with Chris first. His name is Dave and he has a red '99 convertible. If you go to the SVTOA meet I am very confident you will walk away with others that will want a tune.

Everyone was admiring my first tune from REM that came in at 411 hp and 507 torque. Now I can show the 496 hp and 562 torque from Willie's tune - that will be a compelling testimonial.

I was very impressed with Willie's approach, evaluation and final tune on my L, very impressed. If memory serves me correctly my timing is in the 14 range and my a/f levels perfectly in the 12.1 range in the higher RPMs.

I am looking forward to cooler weather to have another dyno to see if my numbers edge over the 500 mark.

Keep that meeting in mind, October 14th!

D-Day

I'm going to talk to Justin tomorrow night and try to get him to come along to the meeting. Maybe bring along some of his low 8 sec. cars (1/4 mile) along with us. Most are fox but very impressive. He worked for Sam G. years ago and there is bad blood but I wil l see what I can do. Barry S. is one of the best in this town and runs with us too. He works for Bill Branch wearing ford racing shoes all day. You're gonna love these guys

Sounds great, if you have sent an email I haven't received it. Due to a recent move I don't have one set up at home yet, but my work email is dpearson@fortmyer.gannett.com

Look forward to meeting you and the crew. Sounds like I could learn a few hundred things from the group.

Great #s Dan. You will see around 540 with injectors. Id like to see you redyno with the Beru plugs.

So, Pete - did you notice a difference with the plugs? Nitrous?, where did this come from?

Yea, I do believe another power tune session is in order. Seems like when you get a "taste" of W.F.'s tuning abilities, you want to go back after a few more mods to "fine tune". Myself, I will be adding the new SMC alcohol injection system from Next Generation.This will alow me to dump in a truck-load of timing without any worries.

I am still trying out the secret plugs, Dan. Definately better throttle response. The nitrous is to ensure I back up the name PROMOD.. Too many top secret mods going on right now to post. Ill tell you about them later. Ill further test out the plugs this weekend as I rip chunks out of all roads traveled....

Besides the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, that will be another awesome site Mondo1. The sheer vision of the Zoo Crew trucking down I-95.. Max-Power tune #2. I envision my 900 hp tune coming. The Dogs Of War will be unleashed...
