    Cool Custom tune rant

    Some of you on the forums have recommended Johan for a custom tune. I must say I'm not very pleased by any of your recommendations and here is why

    #1 he is to dam quick to respond and forces me to data log,
    #2 he has the nerve to make adjustments in such as short time that I have to go and play a second dam time.
    #3 I go to the track and his tune shaved a full 3/10ths from my tweaked canned tune.
    #5 his tune scared the heck out of me as my car lost traction going into freakin second and third gear.

    #6 the worst one, because of Johan I had to go and order some drag radials today

    I. Truly amazed at the difference and I'm confident I will get into the 11's with the drag Radials

    I ran a 12.58 at 113.57


    I strongly suggest using Johan if you want the most out of your ride.

    That is why good tuners are so bad....they just cause you to spend money for drag radials and other mods...

    More bad news, you'll probably want a higher stall converter next. It will really suck when track officials tell you, get a cage!

    Wow, thanks a lot never even considered a torque converter until your post. This forum is a conspiracy for me to spend money. Next I will have to get one of those new HHP VVT cams and that new alum intake.

    Will have to start working some OT

    Get repeatable times with drag radials and skinnies first. Then decide if you want to do the TC. And then, don't get a loose crappy one. (Loose coupling and high stall are not the same thing, but on the cheaper ones, they end up being that way.)

    All the same things I hate about Johan, too. :-)

    BTW, what happened to number 4?

    I also agree with above about a good converter. A good converter can net you another 3-4 tenths.
