I understand if Sam is sending you the tune himself, but you are using a new, different tune... In texas im sure you could care less though.

I think he ment to say it was origanally was a canned tune. Sam sent out a tune that did not work with his ECM serial number for some reason. The car would not start, which is not a big problem. Baker sent out data to Sam and broke the tune up in 4-5 phases sending back and fourth data and now....BAM we have a perfectly running Supercharged Z. The correction is dead on, and tuned great along with idel temps. We will have 100% info when we hit the dyno and get A/F readings. I think it will be below 400whp as well RCZ, tommarow should be the day. I am hoping the LTH's do not need to come off of the car.

There should be no reason for the LTH to come off.

Yeah. Never seen a vehicle EVER lose RWHP because LTH on a blown application. Unless there happens to be a boost leak....

What do they run off unicorn piss? Do a little research before you blindly follow one shops install that:

1) had a boost leak (who cares if its big or small it still affects the numbers)

2) we still don't have any graphs or dyno results to look at so we are going off hearsay.

3) was done in haste and they never did any trouble shooting, they simply slapped the stock stuff back on (I understand time was an issue but that is ridiculous)

It just doesn't make sense that putting a more restrictive exhaust on a car produces better numbers? show me anywhere else in the automotive world where a boosted engine with LTH's produces lower numbers when the system is done properly.

Blaming it on the VVEL or that the VQ is some new high tech engine is a crock to cover up either poor trouble shooting, a mismatched supercharger kit (whether it be too small of a head unit or restrictions elsewhere or any number of other reasons), or poor tuning.
