Hopefully by then, I'll have it retuned for 300-350whp.

Speaking of witch Joe from Dezod got back to me and is willing to help us out with the tune, but he has a few questions for us first. So, matt, Chris, if we all meet this saturday, I can get those questions answered for Joe and then we cna think about getting a trip together. How does that sound?

I still have one more local guy to call and see about a tune, but I've been swamped at work today.
dude i never really thought about racing each other. i always think about racing other cars. but who would win? zpi stage zero intercooled or TT stage 1 both tuned by the same tuner? haha. the next few months are gonna be so fun...
That would be an interesting race.

Hey PINKS!
Did you see what I wrote earlier? About there being a Greddy boosted tC in town somewhere? I gotta track him down and check out his kit.

You should come to our meet this Saturday. What's up?

Not really. Not being arrogant or anything but thing about that a little harder and my statement might make a little more sense

Wow, is this your first post in my thread! See what you've been missing!

3 of us are trying to work out a trip to AZ to see Joe at DezodWest for some tuning. I'm hopeing he can work wonders with my AEM F/IC.
Maybe we'll give you a visit while we're there!

I think he was saying it would be interesting, because the guy with the Stage 0 had better tires, and the other car is on Factory tires.

Yeah, but it's not like he's on slicks or anything. But I think his clutch is in better shape then mine!

In any event, it currently needs a tune, olahalo needs an install, and I need to turn up the boost!

^^No one mentioned what tires he was running, so I just naturally thought Drag Radials.

Yeah, that's what I figured. very misleading, but olahalo can be very misleading!
No, he just has better street tires. Don't remember what, but their better then my 20,000 mile old Bridgestones!
No offence to you, bcnu, but I'm gonna smoke you!

Now olahalo and I, that will be a good race to see!
I'm planning on having my boost controller set at 7 and 10 psi, while your running the spring at 8psi, so we'll go with me at 7 and see what happens.
I'll try to get my scramble working so I can put it right at 8psi temporarily...I think that's how that works?

MATT!
My buddy was at your dealership last night and he said the salesman he was talking to (tall white guy, i think) said he had a white tC and was getting a turbo kit. Whose that? What kit? Has he been to the meet?

I graduated from UNLV in 2003, so I'll be paying off my loans for awhile. But I do have a very nice surround sound system to show for it!

Actually, UNLV has one of the best Dental colleges in the nation, and their Law college is getting up there.
Works for me and helped me get my government job.

there is a new salesman whos a tall white guy. i saw him driving an 08 tC. he was hella over revving and not used to it apparently.
ill ask him if hes gonna turbo it. i doubt it though. you know how people are when they first get a car....
the only reason he'll turbo it is when he sees that hot black tC with the turbo rolling to work everyone morning. lol
