Another Superb Tune by Sam at GT Motorsports: Done at Forged Performance
Gman just phoned me at 3:15am (another long night the shop, working on MJedens car) Anyways, Gman told me he just maxed out his speedo at 160mph, and he stilled pulled hard for another 5 seconds before he let out of it.

I actually had my digital camera recording and the fuking battery died around 120MPH. After the run was complete I was so excited thinking I got it on film I immediately played it back. Needless to say I was pissed off when it stoped at 120MPH. I don't plan on trying again anytime soon.
Congrats Jorge! Very glad you finally have the car running perfect and enjoy it. I know you came pretty close to kissing it goodbye. Hopefully I'll get to check it out in Dec for HIN.

The car is way faster with this tune. I was prepared to stop at 140mph like I normally do, but I made it there so quick I kept going. Before I new it I pegged the spedo and just rode it. If I had to guess I'd say I made it up to 170MPH.

Be careful out there.

Thanks Todd. I don't plan on repeating that anytime soon. You're a good guy too. A real car enthusiast! Looking forward to meeting up with you and the other some time in the future. PM details about Sema.
Here's a little video of the car on the dyno. BTW, I didn't make a mistake on streetfire when I typed 50whp G35. I am just trying to keep those with mullets away.

Todd and I were having a little discussion while driving 130mph. Why is it that music makes you wanna go faster? You know what I am talking fellas?
Sit back and enjoy the show!

I remember road tuning the car with Sam...me in the driver seat..Sam with his laptop. Anyways, the roads were still a little slick from rain, but the freeway was drying out. Knowing how Gman drives, I wanted to make sure the AF's were safe in 4th gear near redline. I still remember the look on Sam's face, when the tires COMPLETELY roasted at 110mph when we hit a slick spot. He was clutching his laptop for dear life!
I agree, sam is amazing and thorough. He tuned my car and helped fixed some issues after I had blown my engine due to another installer not following the instructions on the TN kit. And after I break in my new motor I'm going back to get a retune for power.
