Heres a vid my buddy put together of the dyno tuning we did a couple months ago.

Yes the AFR's are pretty rich and all over the place but I'm not too keen on relying on that wideband lol.

Cool! take some pictures!

I forgot my camera at home the whole Performance World weekend...fail

Oh btw, the car has recieved a TON of interest from the media, the owner was interveiwed by a TV show that was filming at Performance World, several online magazines want to feature the car, Performance Auto and Sound REALLY want to feature the car, they sent 3 seperate people to ask about shooting the car for thier mag. We're talking with Super Street about a feature right now....

Thats awesome. I see the carbon fiber front bumper lip was painted. Interesting choice.

Not fully painted, you can still see the carbon. Same with the carbon headlight buckets. I think Jody candied it with the gunmetal color. I'm not sure how he did it, but it looks great.

It's going to SpeedSport in Moncton? Cool. Might actually persuade me to head up for a day this year. (Being there for 3 days 3 years in a row burned me out.) This is the same show that I was pushing you to get me engine done for a few years ago to put my race car in.
You're getting a bit of exposure at this one.

Big show. That's why I was working hard to get the race car done for it. Won my class 3 years in a row. (Of course road-racing car is a small class.) The pictures I sent you way back with the engine in and the car stickered up with the RPM logos etc was at Speedsport. Displayed the "practice" iron you sent me along with a rotor and housing.

I wasn't planning to go this year, but now I might have to just for you.

Website for the show for anybody interested:

3-day indoor show with over 300 cars.

The car was down to Brampton last weekend for a small show, so it came back to KW for a few touchup's.
Just ordered 725cc Injector Dynamic injectors for the primary spots. Should have them installed and tuned before the end of the week, then its back up to Ottawa this Saturday for another show!
