You know what, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say,

Is this the same truck that showed up at the shop and we couldn't fully tune it for various reasons, only tuned it up to 8psi and half throttle, and the trans kept hitting 250degs plus due to an unknown reason, also scheduled for a retune and didn't show up?

Is this the same truck???

Good thing you logged your runs. I have run the crap out of my truck at the track, and never seen 225* ect's, must be the high IAT's. Hope you get your bugs worked out, sounds like a strong setup.

Whipple used to do the same thing.
Very true, thats why i got out of the throttle. And yes its me after all the emails and pms You finnaly remember....Ha!

Look I'm not talking crap about you or your tuning cause from what I have read they are great. Hey thats why I brought my truck to you in the first place. My truck isnt performing because it isnt tunned for the boost its making .. I emailed you multiple times and explaned to you that the whole time you were tunning my truck the intake pipe had come off of the intercooler. Thats why we were only seeing like 2 or 3 pounds of boost. I also told you it was surging really bad. I also emailed and pm'd you multiple times when you were coming down to Houston to tune. In every email I asked for the location and told you I was willing to pay you extra for a retune. I probably asked you like 3 times for the location and you never even mentioned it . Seems like you didnt want to mess with my truck and thats cool. It would have been better if you just said that you were not doing retunes instead of saying yeah i'm sure we can fit you in on the last day...... It is what it is, all I said was my afr was a on the lean side and after hooking the boost ref back up it got rich. Then the melting pistons post came up and yes if I would have stayed in it maybe that would have happend. Like I said I'm not trying to bash you or anything just telling it like it is.

All in all I had fun at the track, it only ran a awesomely slow 8.0 but it was fun.
