Everyone,

Let me be the first to say thanks to Jim & Julie @ JDM and Torey and Chris @ Excessive Motorsport Manassas VA.

We had our first local SCT dyno tune weekend and it was a blast!!

JDM came down Friday to spend the weekend tuning and dynoing at Excessive. As usual, we did some BBQ'ing and BS'ing. We found the SCT tuned trucks to be pretty awesome. I mean the A/F ratios were looking very, very clean and sweet. HP & TRQ gains were consistently about 10-15hp for the average bolt-on truck. Post tuning comments were all very, very positive for the drivability improvements of all trucks.

It was my first time to work with the programmers and it was very easy to change tunes and do things the user needs to do.

Here are a couple pics taken by SouthJersey USA:

Again, thanks to all the time that everyone spent making this weekend a success!!!

Sleep seemed optional this weekend...

Thanks for all the hard work, Brian.

I enjoyed the time spent in Virginia.

Alright Jim...........always out there leading the way. Congrats to all on the fine tunes, and see you at the track.

 

Yes, I'm pleased to say that the new JDM motor was picked up today and made it back to Richmond safely. although we got caught in a torrential downpour as soon as we hit I-95south just outside of Manassas. luckily I had an extra Summit engine bag to help protect the new motor.

by the looks of things I missed the big turnout on Saturday (damn job always getting in the way of the fun stuff) I really enjoyed visiting the Excessive Motorsports shop and getting to meet some more Lightning enthusiasts and folks from the boards that were in attendance today!

thanks for the BBQ Chicken and drinks!

thanks to the folks at JDM for bringing the new motor down with them!

and again, it was nice meeting the guys from Excessive and all of the other Lightning people that I got to talk with today!

Brian, I'll see what I can do about getting you those numbers by Friday.


later,
chris

P.S. here it is:

 

so chris, you gona leave the plastic on when you put it in the truck?? i liked the blue better

 

Iam sure the new heart will look better in the blue goose. Thanks to JDM for stepping up to the plate and helping out in a big way.
I wonder who will be the next one to put a motor in?

Brian, Looks like a fun filled day you put together. I was planning on coming down a having a few "brews", but work got in the way.........again! 22hrs OT this week

 

Looks like a great turnout, and great pic's Brian
Seems like these SCT's are a good piece, it seems many many L owners have switched to them, Way to Go Jim/& Excessive Motorsports

Any plans on a mod allowing you to do some tweaking ?

and WOO HOO to Chris, GO GET BRO...............
(hats off to Jim + JDM for hooking a Brother up)


Gator, please don't make me do that Mod........................

 

Oh, I think you will do that yourself, with the dumping of mass quanties of nitrous thru your motor in an attemp to outrun my "nearly stock" truck

 

Nearly Stock and your truck DO NOT go in the same sentence. But as for me doing it myself, your prob right

 

I'm already looking forward to NVLOPE's fall fried Turkey event Brian was telling me about! It was a nice time with a lot of really awesome cars and trucks to check out. Excessive is a nice full service performance shop. I heard a rumor that Fast Gator's (work) was going to Leann's party?!

 

I wish I was close(r) to a Tuner! I miss out on all the fun stuff!

And I need a custom dyno tune!

Looks like everyone had a good time! Awesome!
