  1. Not really. If you really want to see a pegged dyno graph and if Mark is cool with the unnecessary wear-and-tear on the car for no reason I will happily post one up Jeff
  2. We have never dynoed the car past 12xx rwhp on baby boost just to make sure the set-up is solid at the shop and then turn it up at the track. Mark has always got the HP "Estimates" from one of the calculators online. Jeff
  3. I'm sure Mark could as well since we ran up there all last season and plan to again this year. Just don't win and I'm sure nobody would care Jeff
  4. Fixed. No worry's though -- it actually will be within 100-150lbs this year Jeff
  5. I didn't realize it was going to be a roll-race Jeff
  6. At that point yes. Not worried about that at all to be honest. It will take some time to get it all sorted again since so much has changed but it will be much more a question of "When" instead of "If" Jeff
  7. None taken Not sure how many on here know what we are even doing with Mark's car for 2012 but this isn't the thread for it. Supra sounded awesome and can't wait to see how it does this year Jeff
  8. If adding 500-700HP over last years set-up, shaving 400lbs, and upgrading the entire suspension set-up doesn't shave off more than .2 seconds we will officially be packing it in. We will find out soon enough Jeff
  9. Mark's car should make 1500rwhp at less than 15-17psi this season and last year made 1800rwhp at 24psi (Calculated since we never dyno the car that high on purpose). I doubt he is very worried Jeff
  10. I post up pics from around the shop all day long but of course they all go into our IPS "Section". I still try to take some on the weekends whenever I get a chance but that hasn't been very often lately. I'll see what I can find from over the past few weeks and let you guys pick them apart lol Jeff
  11. You can shoot it over to me and I will get it to him Jeff
  12. If you are shop that also has a dyno, sure. If you are a tuner that has a dyno but not a shop (Or more importantly tech's), different story. That was the issue we (As a shop) had way way way back in the day when we took client's cars over to Brian's to tune. One little thing happened and we were screwed. Either pull it and bring it back to our shop to fix (Assuming it ran to get back) or have somebody drive all the way back, get tools, find parts, and drive back to Brian's while the car sat on the dyno running up a tab (It wasn't Brian's fault something minor happened). Something that takes us under 10 minutes to find/fix here easily took hours in that scenario. For all I know Brian has guys working over there now so not saying that is the case any more, just that as a LT1 owner I would make my choice just as much based on who can diagnose issues / work on them as much as I would who can tune them. To be honest, this is also true of just about anything Pre "Mid 90s". I would say less than 10% of 3000GTs that come in here for tuning are able to make a single pull without "XYZ" needing done. If we had no clue how to work on them and only were able to tune them we would have 5-10 towed out every month lol. Brand new cars (No matter what it is) you don't have to worry about any of that. Tune it and be done. Jeff
  13. The main advantage we have, in addition to multiple tuners that all know the GM platform VERY well, is a shop full of tech's that know how to work on them. I don't know you (OP) or your car so this isn't meant to imply it is anything short of a show-car, but *Many* LT1's we get in here for tuning need quite a few things done before they ever get anywhere near the dyno. Hopefully yours goes smooth as silk but if it doesn't, we can take care of any issue that might arise where-as other shops might be more limited in that dept. Jeff
  14. Cool I have been sticking to a 3-ish mile radius (From the shop) and Chase makes it easy since there are like 10,000 cars all right beside each other. I know we have had a few schedule from there already so hopefully the word keeps spreading that we are a great option for general service that is nice and close. Jeff
  15. You at Chase? If so I thought it looked like yours (Color / Exhaust). Jeff
  16. I'm almost 100% positive he just searched google for images and picked whatever one "Fit" the best. Jeff
  17. It actually needs to be The BMW pic is of a white 1-series and I want to swap out the Audi pic for a white S4 or S5. Jeff
  18. My "GM" version is of a Camaro so I wasn't sure how most "Truck" guys would take it. I did put them on quite a few Hummers / Escalades / Tahoe's / Etc. but there are so many trucks I typically didn't unless they had wheels or an exhaust or something. Having spent a couple days passing them out I am going to make a few different "Versions" so that we have a little better "Fit" with more of the cars/trucks out there. Jeff
  19. I've only been passing them out for a couple days so good to see they were received well Just trying to get the "Service" word out to people that live / work up here since those that know we are here don't ever think of us for general service. Jeff
  20. We got it 100% done the first day but I just haven't got around to posting up pics yet...
  21. Have you been broken in-to since the move to Sunbury? Last time I talked to Corey the move seemed to cure those issues that were more common at the old shop (Location). Jeff
  22. I took a few over the weekend but realized the IS was set to "Off" somehow when I got home. Not sure if I have a collection of blurry white abstract but I will post up a few tonight if they aren't horrible. Other than my user-error, the new Canon 70-200/2.8 II is as good as advertised Jeff
