can you be more specific, what exactly do you mean by that? tunning by upgrading or tunning by adjusting?

Exactly Vic told me as soon as I got the S/C and he is 100% correct, without tunning the SC is worthless, and tuning means, Air/fuel ratio, making sure you get on a dyno with the probe to measure the fuel ratio's. I also spoke with Loren and he also has done lots of tuning on a Dyno and that makes all the difference. Just for example. I am running 14.6 at 98 MPH, but I have not tuned at all, and there are guys that have a y-pipe and CAI, and are running low 14's on a 5th gen. So if you look at in that respect yes I spent 4K for nothing. But once I tune her and get her a little leaned out, she has too much fuel I will bee in the low 14's maybe high 13's but I also still need an Y-pipe, new clutch, RT CAT, there is still alot to go. But if you follow VIC's advise and try to perfect the tuning you will be good. Thanks agian VIC

well for starters i wouldn't recomend running your engine up to 8000rpm.. does the maxima tach even go that high?? other than that.. its pretty simple..
