back on topic
so now the stock sleeve GSR is in and ready to tune... i looked/asked around for a tuner in the tri-state area...
after much thinking ,, i went with Chris@ XENOCRON.. and this is how it went!!
got there late (was suposed to be there at 9am). we got lost and even saw a BEARR, like a Yogie but not as friendly BEARRR!!! rarrrr!!
got there at about 11am
and Chris got to work!!
first pass @10psi made 331whp
i stepped outside to talk to my wife for 2 minutes,, came back in the shop, and Chris was in the middle of a 2nd pull.. made 344whp... i asked "how much did u turn up the boost?"... he said " i didn't , we are still on 10psi
he checked the plugs,, then made another pull .. (this time it spiked to 11psi).. and made 381whp
he asked me if i wanted to stop there,, im thinking in my head "yea okk, lets keep it going"
i told him 15psi or 450whp. and i'll be happy ... being as how this is a PUMP GAS tune!!
he shook his head and turned up the boost to 12psi!!
started the pull, and the clutch slipped something terrible!! and after another try, he said it was as much as he could do considering the slipping clutch..
so it ended like this
344whp@10psi (which i believe could have been cleaned up a bit, had the boost controller held)
381whp@11psi (was set for 10psi, but spiked to 11psi)
oh and we were only revving the car to 8500rpm, coz im -----!! lmaoo dropping valves scare me
10psi pull!!

great #'s.. i was more than happy!!
well it was time for a new clutch, and MB Racing cut me a deal on a Competition Clutch stage 5!!
went back to Chris.. and this is how it went!!
slowly made pulls.. and it was getting around what Chris considers iffy for pump gas..
so at 13.8psi (14psi).. the car made 436whp
*the red graph is the same psi but with a failing spring in the gate (crazy *** dipp at around 7100RPM)
* the green graph is the same 13.8psi , but with the problem corrected
this is the lower hp pull
