No...his car was recently shipped to Hawaii. The car was suppose to have been tuned by garage tuning in Cali. I think in the process of being shipped here, some parts were switched, so whatever tune it had was no good. Reina and I took it to rads on Thursday and it could not do any pulls...it was running super lean, as if it had not been tuned at all.

I believe what happened was that they took this car straight to the dyno with the previous mainland tuner's AP map to get a baseline, and the dyno's wideband revealed a really lean A/F and they never completed the run.
They then installed an AEM unit and hard to start from scratch since it's a standalone.

yup the car was prosessionaly built, completed and tunned, by a cali shop, in the process of shippin my car here things got swap, that was hard for to see unless u looking for and have some mechanical knowledge(ei. headers and so forth) they knew i wasnt gonna recived the car and that it was gonna be my girl friend(of course she knows nothin about cars) I have to chase down the AP and the extra keys as they kept them (dont know why the AP is married to the ECU and who ever wanted to keep it cant use it) long story short just beware of whom you trust. And Sonics did a great job at tunnin the car the power curve is smooth even when they were limited to my injectors size, @ 22PSI 425AWHP is not that bad, I was skeptic at first cuz i never heard of tunners in hawaii other than Ryan at the old Vakamon.

thanks for owning me, as usual...this is like a daily occurance with us, lol
hey luis-not too sure if you got my IMs, but your a/f is a steady 11.5. he mentioned doing more runs with your car and could definately get more power down low....i know you just wanted to know what your car could do as is, and i think it did well considering the setup. if you do runs sooner than later, and your header is not here, you can borrow my hks....not sure if it will make a difference or not, but thats my way of getting you to buy it later
ahahaha...just kidding! i just really want to see how far your car can go
