    Please elaborate on how did you get 40 extra whp?????

    I don't say I'm an expert at the VQ but I know for a well known fact that it's virtually impossible to get that much out of it with bolt ons + even tuned. Unless your car had a really really really bad baseline tuned to compared with.

    I've spent thousands on my NA mods, tuned and I barely squeezed an extra 25whp out of the car (on Dynamic Dyno). That includes full Intake, ported plenum, ISO thermal spacer, MREV2, headers, True dual 2.5" custom headerback, UR pulleys, and UTEC tuned by one of the best VQ tuner in the country, Sharif at Forged Performance.

    My Topend Sucks, but I did get a FATTY gain across the line.

    problem A lies in the fact you actually paid sharif 500 dollars to tune your car......(sorry personal opinion)

    so your car is only putting down 245ish more or less? since your an auto 04 im assumming you base lined 220ish???

    pm me your maps and dyno sheet with afr and i can tell you where you lost it if he missed anything....but dude i would be pissed if i only put down 245 which is what doug could pull outa it, but eli is a different story

    No, I didn't pay him 500 to tune my car, lol......where did you get that idea from?

    I'll PM you my MAP this weekend, don't have the dyno sheet anymore. I remembered making 239whp on his DynoDynamic. If that shop you suggested is indeed good, I want to give them a try.

    I'll get you the MAP, we'll set up a date. I'll let your shop tune my car with your baseline and dyno. I'll get the new Dyno again at FP. This will be done in one day, so we'll limit as many funky factors as necessary. If you shop can squeeze out extra 10whp out of my car when we compare my new dyno at FP vs his old stored numbers of my last tune there, I'll gladly pay the price. If not, can the shop cover the cost of my dyno at FP as well as waived the cost of dyno/tune my car at your shop?

    I'm a very fair and Biased person as I can be. I'll vouch for whoever gets the job done. Whoever can make it work, gets my $$ and trust.

    I'm not asking them to do free. I'm asking if they can get extra 10whp out of my car by retune what Sharif did, I'll gladly pay. But if he can't, then he shouldn't charge me for it. What about it is a lot of shop tuned the car, then inflate the dyno numbers to act like there's a lot of gain. I know that mine sounds dissapointed, and I was, but that's the best I could get out of it. Many other reputable shops tried to tune my car, and they couldn't even get 5whp out of it. That's why I was very skeptical about a non VQ orient shop that tried to tune the car. FP was the only shop that could squeezed out 13whp after tuned. (the 25whp I talked about was compared to my car as stock. 13whp was before and after tuned, after modded.)

    I agree that FP is much more expensive. But I've seen their work and they stood behind it.

    Yea, Zed does sound like Kris.

    coool.....I'm uber jealous of you, getting more power. Oh well, consider mine is a G35 with heavy ass wheels, anto, I'd be lucky to get that much out of it. If that shop you're speaking about can get me more, I'm all in Btw, how much did they charge you for the tune?
