F-1A with the tuner kit and the intercooler upgrade. I have a lot of work done to the engine(Cams-injectors-COP-much more) and just the other day I got my new heads. When I took her for the dyno tune I gave her a dose of 93 octane and tuned her for it.

So, who is the shop that can tune you for 650 rwhp on 14 psi and cannot turn your fans on ? LOl

In all honesty, they are a pretty decent shop. Although many in this area say they are overpriced, and I tend to agree to an extent, they do good work most of the time. I think this was just someone dropping the ball on the tune.

The Shop's name is Sunshine Performance here in Killeen.

I'm still confused as to why they would ever turn the fans off in the first place

I could see it if they were doing key on, car off work. That way they would keep the fan's from killing the battery. But still, you'd think that would be the first thing on the checklist to turn back on. Either that or they fat fingered it.

I'm thinking they probably fat fingered it. They have never done bad by me in the past. The guys are pretty nice and super apologetic about it. They even gave me a free go on the dyno...

Oh boy, here we go. I have the dyno sheets, dude. I really don't want to measure dicks with you on the internet. This is why I keep my mouth shut around here. Always someone that thinks they know better. Unless you have something to say about the issue I was having or anything really that relates to the topic of this thread I would honestly appreciate it if you would not try to storm in with your chest pumped out like you own the place. Look! I even changed my sig for you. Now you can make up whatever HP you want...Let me know what you want me to put in there so I can oblige you.

I'm too old for this shit.

calm down i dont think he is trying to bump his chest at you lol. your probably taking it the wrong way. its just that 5 days ago you didnt have heads and also didnt have a f1a procharger on the car, but now you do and has been already tuned with 39lb injectors. im sure i can speak for most of us here have never seen anyone run a f1 blower with 39lb injectors nor anyone run 650rwhp with any blower on 39lb injectors. also, you shouldnt be so defensive with this thread when in reality you already got the issue fixed. not trying to come at you hard either. just refrasing it so maybe you understand his statement better.

You saw the car like 2 weeks ago and I told you that I had parts on the way...

At any rate, I'm just gonna say it's 12 HP and let it lie. Built like a Craftsman lawnmower.

thats what i was trying to say, maybe i have worded wrong who knows? Unless i am wrong and i could be but there is no way to get to 650 at the wheels with 39 ers.

12.9 - That track was slick as SNOT. I spun all the way until I hit 3rd gear. Started getting squirrely in second and the back end started to kick out. I can't hook on these big ass rims. Definitely going to take your advice and get some ET Streets...Probably 17's

Also, since you are around. I have a silly question. After my last run I noticed my speedometer wasn't returning to 0 when I stopped right away. What would you say that is?

the smaller diameter you go the better overall vs. those 20's. you can get 15's on the rear but just be careful which brand you get. there is a thread on the forum here with a list of all the 15 inch rims that will fit these cars. that track definitely sucks though. its worth the drive to go to san antonio or dallas.

I heard San Antonio was a great track. Might have to get together and make the trip. Did Sean tell you about his O2 sensors going bad tonight?
