I still won't tune someone else's car (non shop car). I don't feel right doing it yet. Hopefully soon enough I'll get some experience under my belt(EFI 101, EFI Advanced and an AEM shop car). Then I will feel comfortable tuning and start my learning curve to become a good tuner.


And I guess it depends which way you do the math on the numbers, haha. HUGE difference at big power numbers.

I would answer your spoolup question, but once again, I don't have Kyle's Dyno Graph here.

I'm starting to think that his low torque has everything to do with how much his head is ported. It is ported almost as much as Chris's was, and both of them made low torque and high power. They both have different Intake Manifolds too. I also wonder if the size of intercooler pipe is making a torque difference? They are/were both running 3.5" I do believe. How the turbo comes into boost could also do it. It's not violent, and boost seems to climb "slowly" but steadily, possibly resulting in less torque.

If either of those is the case, thank god for low torque and long powerbands! Maybe we won't break instantly at the track, haha.
