Default Finally got car tuned, thanks cpracing

Well, i took the trip from Destin Fl to Charlotte N.C. this past weekend. Left at 2 in the morning friday and got there at 10. Great little drive up there. Just let me say this. my hat goes off to cpracing, treated me like i was one of their own. guys, i had a blast hanging out with you and thanks for everything you did to my car , Other mods are headers, test pipes and borla td exhaust. while i was there i had them put on the smaller pulley. the 3.12. They ended getting 400.1 hp out of it with a conservitive tune, and 342 tq. The car doesn't even feel the same. amazing what a good tune can do for a car. here are a few pics.

Good stuff, Im in MD and if/when I decide to take my Turbonetics kit to the next level, I'd drive down for the tuning. Nice numbers, now go race that Turbonetics Z that you raced in the vid with you guys, the APS TT, and the LS1's. Id love to see that.

im just curious, but does the intercooler get damaged for being in the front like that? Do a lot of things get stuck in between the fins?

Noice numbers, and it really says something about a place like CPRacing as well for Sharif@Forged when folks who live outside of NC are willing to drive up there for their work

planning on racing the Z in the video again soon, i took him for a ride yesterday, maxima almost clipped me, had to pass on the right shoulder, quite a rush , thanks again cpracing. LOVE the feel of power i have now.

hey sharif, i might make a trip up to CPracing once i install my turbonetics. hopefully i get it within the next week. also, i will be getting with you for my gauges soon. i am sure ray will be down for another trip. i would love to take it up there just prior to NOPI get it tuned (greddy e-manage ultimate) then drive down to ATL from NC. Ray has nothing to but great things to say about cpracing and forgedinternals.com so i think the drive will be worth it!

That's great to hear..thanks for the feedback!

We are about to do an installation and tune of an Emanage Ultimate with a Turbonetics kit. IMHO, its a great setup, and allows you to precisely and safely dial in AF and timing, along with correction maps..etc...

Great! I just sold all my greddy stuffs I bought before and made $100 out of it . I will wait for you to tune and get the result, then I will drive out there to get the E-Ultimate and a tune.

sorry for the OT! Very nice number with the Dynamometer.
