Like I've said before, it feels a lot stronger now.... but they dyno will tell for sure.

Not to jinx you on selling it, but I hope you get some more fine tunage done and a good EBC installed to squeeze out even more power that's hidden



What do you mean about your IC pump? Is it not working right?

No, you won't jinx me. The tune is actually an excellent tune to be able to just crank up the boost whenever I want like that and have no safety concerns. No knocking, no running lean, just smooth power. No deficiencies. Hell, I would actually be courting foolishness to tune it to the ragged edge and then sell it. Leaving the catalyst protection turned on might be smart too. Much better to be able to show a safe tune on the car, one that Oh By The Way is one of the more powerful Contours on the street.
As far as a quality boost controller, I think I'd rather use one of those to make more power rather than alter the tune at this point, for the reasons I stated above.
Besides, I've got to leave something for the future owner to do right? That future owner might like to be the guy to turn it up to 12-13, or even 14psi and and set down some big numbers attached to his name.
Yeah, I think I was smart to just check my work and show the proof of the skill in it.
