Smile T-minus 21 hours equals tuning time

Tomorrow early morning I'll head on a journey of greatness. Actually I'm just heading to Ohio to tune my ms3 with the guru himself and pick up an exhaust....but mainly to have a good time and do what brings this car community together! I'll be bringing the dslr alongand a few members will be joining up so if your in the area get ahold of us! Tuning, Tunes, maybe end the evening with some Totties. Certainly some driving! Hoping to drive home confidently late Saturday night/early Sunday with the J&R ECU hooked up burning more gas and going faster than on the way there

Oh and I can't wait to see the j35 head swapped monster with true dual exhaust and real deal headers!

I_Love_Cars nailed it on the head! We might hit a dyno after we toy around, I want to get a good base going then I will hit a dyno to fine tune her and get some numbers.

unfortunately she won't be clean after the drive ;( My rims literally collect everything that comes off the road. I love the look of them but have considered getting rid of them just for that reason.

Well andy hooked me up, has gotten me all started, he troubleshooted at first because the firmwares and software were not cooperating. We also had an issue with the fuel tables lining up but not to long he had that car running smooth and idling pretty damn good. I'm like your everday Paul Walker now. Hahah JK I just started doing a little data logging and street tuning, I think after a month or so I will be able to adjust everything and tune my car myself with out keeping Andy on the back burner. Either way, Andy went out on a limb for me and went above and beyond, what a great guy, a new great friend, I also met Justin Hoffman, JJH on here who is a great guy! It was fun to meet some members who were very helpful and it was a learning experience for Justin and I. The car pulls so much better, smoother, and stronger. At first I was having a tad bit of issues on and off the throttle being a tad jumpy but I'd say she drives like stock just way smoother, strong etc. I'm curious what kind of numbers I am putting down and want to dyno as soon as possible but its hard I'm closing on the house this week! I could unplug the ms3 then dyno, plug it back in and dyno for the hell of it.

Dyno!!!!

Props to you and Andy though. And you need some piano black Forgestar F14's on there! That or gunmetal....

BTW, are you heading back to Esta anytime soon? Test & Tune 9/22 and 10/27. I have to make one of them. Should have my 4" intake on next week.

I have wanted to switch up wheels for awhile, find me some lol!

I would love to go back to the strip, esta really does suck but if you go then you can prove to people that the times are not accurate, I was beating gtos! lol I burned a brand new v6 mustang with a ton of mods and tuning, kid had a helmet on so you know he was breaking 100mph on the regular!

He's a great dude! He helped me learn stuff to rather than just putting a tune on my car and adjusting a little bit, I feel confident playing with it now. My car is running absolutely amazing. No idle issues, ok, once and a blue moon idle issues but maybe once every 3 times I drive it(maybe). Thanks buddy!
