Yeah I did definately notice gains, especially in the mid range. As far as tune, I chose Brooks Speed because of his good rep and the fact he uses diablo. He hasn't responded since Monday when I sent him the 2nd datalog. It's the airflow at idle what he says is off. The car starts but after several attempts and sometimes I have to hold the throttle at about 1500 rpms. But once it smooths out she's fine.

Sounds Good Man.....Now all you need is to take the axle backs off and put you some turndowns with resonators underneath to make that thing about 10X deeper sounding....It sounds awesome that way...Sounds like the older cars do with their drag setups....I love the Hot Rods that is what I am running and I have turndowns underneath the car with Magnaflow resonators and it sounds bad ass...IMO

I've never heard of start up problems or having to hold down the throttle.
The hunting idle is something that is WIDESPREAD though.

If the hunting is so bad that is is forcing you to hold down the throttle I suspect the tuner may need the car to actually be there with him to sort through the little mess.

My car just did NOT take to email adjustments.
The tuner tried three different times and finally I had to bring the car to him and he got it done in about 20 min lol.

But now it's back since I put a light weight flywheel in.
I'm driving back to the tuner after Christmas for the final adjustment.

Again good luck and I'm glad you like the cams!

I don't have to hold the throttle down everytime. On the 3rd start this morning, without any throttle, it kept it's idle. He is suppose to send me a new tune today, so we shall see

Eric raised my idle airflow and then changed the intake around, he had me down for the racer not the street intake. Car fired right up! Doesn't stall at lights now really at all, feels great!
