Hey guys!
I've been all over the engine. I can't find any vacuum leaks at all. I asked for the tune file from him but received no answer back at all. At this point I'm done dealing with the guy. Chalk it up to lesson learned.
The great news is that I now have an appointment for a dyno tune on 10/14 at Cunningham motor sports. All the reviews I've read say that Ryne is a magician with these motors. When I spoke to him he was really great and didn't seem daunted by the situation and circumstances. Its going to cost a pretty penny, but I'm hoping it will get everything running correctly and make all this pain and suffering worth it all. We will see.

Well we all have those lessons. unfortunately... It will be good to have it right. I started out with a good tuner that did me right but mine was very basic. After I kept changing things he always came thru but when I added the turbo it was time for me to learn HP tuners. I did and so far so good.
I have heard reference of a "street" tune. I am not sure how different the dyno will be but if he will I would hope he would drive it and log some part throttle stuff too the area before wide open throttle makes a world of difference.
Good luck and look forward to the new results.
Dave

A street tune means after the dyno, he gets in with u and you drive r and do some wot on the street. That way he can tune shift points firmness and lockup to ur driving style
