well you'll get it... see with something like a GM stage kit or what I have the Superchips "tune"... you get a canned tune, which is NOT unique for your vehicle, its just a basic "more aggressive than stock" tune... with a dyno tune, a tuner makes changes that are best for your car


because no two cars are the same, you and I can have the same car, the same mods, and live in the same city, but when it comes to tuning, a tuner will have to make unique changes to each vehicle... and usually, we won't dyno the same either

well, I have tickets to all of Bama's home games so my 1st game will be this Saturday... I could have gotten tickets to the VT game for $175/piece but none of my friends wanted to come off the money, lol... I wish they would have, we all went to the Clemson game last year and it was a fucking awesome experience....

if we make it back there in December, we're all going to go...

I hate it when it rains. I washed my car, cleaned the engine bay, seafoamed her, changed oil & filter, changed fuel filter and it rains! Oh well, at least she runs like new again. I'm a true believer of SeaFoam now, lmao.

seafoam: does more harm then good

its the same as flushing a transmission... and here is why: usually if you flush an old transmission, after doing so, a couple of weeks later.....it will grenade...

why? because with wear comes buildup of "gunk" and often time that "gunk" is actually what are holding your bands together....so of course, here you come being Mr.(or mrs., lol) tidy flushing it squeaky clean.......and then your bands having nothing to hold them... bye-bye transmission

same concept on engines, now with an engine that isn't on its last leg, well, seafoam isn't going to hurt... but there have been A LOT of horror stories after running it... personally, I say keep your engine well maintained and let it ride... I know people that have had work vehicles they bought brand new last upwards of 300,000 miles... and they didn't need any stinking seafoam lol

^^Dang, you are just Mr. Negative here recently.

My car runs 100x better after SeaFoaming it. I guess I'm just imagining things, though...

I thought I needed a new clutch/transmission fix because of shifting issues, but after SeaFoam, the car is running like new again. Besides, after 107k miles, you'll do a little here and there to make sure she's up to par ;)

I was scared of putting mine on the track... not because of breaking, because I didn't want to not be able to get traction and run shitty all night... it took me a couple of runs to get it down but I have a lot of experience racing, just not in this car...

most of my friends get me to run their cars at the track, so they can see what their car can actually do, lol... and sadly a lot of them, the fastest their car has been and when I was driving, lol... my friend couldn't break 8.5s in his GT500, my 1st time down the track in it I ran a 8.3xx, lol... end up getting a 8.1 out of it... just tell them I'm not responsible for anything that gets broke on the way down, lol
