Interesting weekend at the dyno...

[MSP SuperStreet]

Brandon,
I didn't know that was you at Mac Saturday.
My yellow Mazdaspeed Protege was down there to get a few upgrades and then tuned. I was in and out of the shop through out the day. I missed your friends Charger run on the Dyno but I did catch your Ride on the Dyno. Good strong pulls.
I've had similar experience with Revolutions Performance and have since switched to MAC Autosport. Rumor around the shop was that Revolutions went under??
Still yet to compete my tune and Dyno run at MAC, ran out of time Saturday.

I knew I recognized that car from somewhere!! Kind of funny, my buddy Dave was asking me about your car lol, he noticed the MSP badge you put on the back of the car, and asked me what it stood for lol.

Yeah, Dave's Charger was only on the dyno for 20-30 minutes, whereas due to aforementioned complications, my car was on the dyno considerably longer. I wasn't aware that you had similar experience with Revolutions, but am not too surprised. Honestly, I originally wanted to have Harvey (at Super-Rupair) tune my car last year, but when the time came, I tried to setup a Saturday appointment, and found out Super isn't open on Saturday's At the time, with the birth of my son last year, all of my vacation days were tied up, so at the recommendation of a friend of mine I ended up going with Revolutions. I'll give them one thing, they work fast.... almost too fast. I always felt rushed, but it's a business, so whatever.

I felt bad though, I had talked to Harvey and asked him countless questions, which always resulted in prompt, direct responses. I'm sure he spent at least a few hours of his time, and wasn't even being paid for it... almost wanted to just Paypal him some cash for his time lol. It's sad, I received better customer service (responses to questions, direct answers rather than opinions, overall more friendly attitude ect) from a guy I never got a chance to pay a dime to (Harvey) than I did from the shop I was paying. I was actually going to have Harvey tune my car when I swapped over to a 20G, but am a bit torn now, as Nick did a bang up job this Saturday, he made more power than Adam's tune, WAY more conservative AFR's, and as you can see on the graph, it's smooth as hell, notice smoothing is set to 0, and yet the curves are still butter smooth, and on the street it's seriously noticeable. Nick spent more time making 1 map for my car than Adam did making 2 maps (91 & E85, it seriously felt like it was rushed), and it seriously shows, as the car feels great. So, I might just continue to go to Nick. I was watching him go through making adjustments to parameters via Open Source, and it just seemed like he was being more thorough than Adam, but then again, maybe there's just more parameters to adjust in Open Source vs Cobb Protuner software, I don't know.

Sorry you didn't get your tune done on Saturday... in all honesty, it's probably partially my fault I asked Nick if they could tune my car after I saw how lean it was running, and even though that time was slotted for tuning my car, he obliged, and took a bit longer than he thought it would, which I'm grateful for, as he didn't just rush my car off the dyno, he seemed to really be working on it, and as such, went past the spare time he had allotted.

I heard from the guy's at MAC that Revolutions went under, although there's nothing on Pirates about it, and their website is still up. So I don't know about that, I assume it's just a rumor. Either way man, let me know how tuning goes when all is said and done

I was hoping to get tuned by Ryan up at Super. I really like that dyno setup, the controlled environment, and he's familiar with my car.

Well, I know that Harvey pretty much trained Ryan, and vouches for his abilities, so he has to be pretty decent

I've actually heard nothing but good things about Ryan, just haven't had the chance to meet him in person.

On a completely separate note.... just ordered a Blouch TD05H-20G!! 44 lb/min compressor FTW!!
