wonder if the trifecta tune was what was causing my dyno graph to look like a rollercoaster...

I highly doubt it. I've sent in 3 data logs I did on the street and 2 I did at the track and got the same thing everytime... "Looks good"

Could be. I took it out and it felt a lot smoother. The car gets up to 3000 rpm where after that it just takes off like a freight train. I know most wont believe me but it actually helped my throttle response taking it out. The car just goes. And this is in the 105 degree heat right now.

Hey y'all haven't been on in a while! With all this tune speak figured you guys might enjoy this: http://www.eteknix.com/forget-car-ja...lets-car-hack/

It's some fuzzy details on a $25 computer (raspberry pi, I'm sure) that can read all the algorithms of Bosch ECU's. Maybe big things in the horizon?

Hmm... Idk it to do this or just try the ipf tune later down the road. I will say that I took out all my trifecta stuff yesterday and boy does the car feel a hell of a lot faster. Plus some weird acceleration problems I was having are gone. Was going to go to the track but it got rained out
Yea I just spoke to Andy over at IPF for some more details. When I get the money I will be doing it with my Long Tubes.

Hopefully the your apartment complex place and you and Adam can come to an agreement once you get a lawyer involved. If not I'm not sure if you would end up making money if it does go to court with all the fees but fingers crossed!

Yeah that's what I'm hoping! And no it would be a civil court, not as expensive and if we win they will be paying all the fees. The stupid thing is, is I'm 95% sure they will lose. The told us we would have things and we don't yet we're still paying for them. And then my car situation which is pretty ridiculous and I will be asking people to sign a letter stating the speed bumps are ridiculously large and that i'm not the only one that has scrapped.

Hopefully you will win lol never know cause then you will have to pay the court fees and that would really be a kick in the nuts.

If the attorney says we have a good chance of winning then I have no doubts lol. Especially since they never got building permits for anything on the property that they have put in/built. So when we get copies of that.. We have so much on them.
