Don't get me wrong, Jim is a great mechanic and a decent tuner, but I'm looking for thorough, I keep getting some KR, when I look at the tables I noticed he didn't "tune" the table he just scaled it up till it knocked then backed off a couple. If I had the time and experience with it I'd do it myself, but I'd like every relevant table tuned accordingly. My VE's are up around 120, and he cheated my inj. flow KPA table which is fine to rough in but when I see 110% idc I can't tell if it's real or not. As well as alot of little things Like my PE table I'm calculating around a 10.5:1, but I haven't checked it with my WB yet. So it looks like PE is rich and potential for more gains. Also Timing throughout the table could be dialed.
I think I just got discouraged after looking at it and the best thing for me to do is just to go through and tune it one table at a time until it's on a knat's ***. Looks like I'm tuning this weekend

i did see good gains, but It's not just about gains. Call me **** but if it's not right , it's not right. I think I might have little more to gain up top but alot in the middle and that's what counts, especially cruisin around town.
