Smokie said:The very first thing I ever did to my car was to buy a flash tune from Dennis Reinhart, the tune is SOLD by Dennis and WRITTEN by Jerry Wroblesky. Took my car to the track and on a cool Florida afternoon I ran a 14.53 @ 96.81 then I back it up with a 14.49 @ 97.51.
All that I had done to my stock MM. was the flash. Nothing else. I guess maybe my car is not average, but I can tell you that before flash tune it was slower."
Dennis dyno-tuned my car back in 1/04. I'm not sure if he used Jerry's specs or not. The car yielded 258 HP to the rear wheels. I was disappointed, but we both agreed that at 2K, the motor was not yet broken in and performance should increase expotentially with the added miles.
Well, at 10K, the car was still a dog, IMO. The problem I had with DR's tune was the eternal lag between shifts at WOT. I got fed up with it and took her to a reputable tuner in New Jersey. The car was dynoed at 290 HP after his tune, and that's before the Magnaflows and CAI were installed. I gotta think I'm pushing 300 now and no longer twiddle my thumbs between shifts.
Maybe my DR tune was just a fluke. Who knows. All I know is I no longer fear cars that I should'nt have to fear. Happy Motoring!!! :coolman:
