Yes it is standard the get a hard copy at the time of the run. We were planning to but unforunately the shops printer was not working. I actually asked about it because I wanted to bring it home and show my friends for bragging rights . But shiv did save them to his flashdrive so when he gets time he will send them out.

Thanks for clarifying, I feel like I'm in limbo waiting for my session
And I must say if Shiv has somehow figured out how to extract more power than previous tunes so my car is close to yours, I will bow down before Shiv and kiss his beautiful feet. I do have a small concern about getting the Xede. I've had the car for about 2 months now and have become familiar with it's power, it makes me worried that I will not be able to properly control the immense wheelspin that will occur in first gear versus how "tame" it is now |

As for what gear to start in. In the manual you still start in first gear. The auto is gear differently which I have talked about in other threads which allows it to start in secound. Plus unless your stomping on it - you dont SUPER notice the power. You notice how responsive it is... but when you step on it is when you really go WOW.

Um...those three vehicles were all dynoed at the same place, around the same time, with the same guy. It has nothing to do with driving conditions. Its indoors with a giant fan blowing into the intercooler.[/QUOTE] Ideally all engines made would be EXACTLY the same... however, the reality of it is, there are manufacturing tolerances which can make one engine stronger than another. If the pistons rings seal better on one engine vs another, than it could make more power. Now start to consider how many parts we are talking about, from the intake manifold, cylinder head, valves, engien block, pistons, piston rings, crank, transmission, driveshaft, even the wheels, all this add up to differences in power production. |
