changing oil affecting the tune?.......

this kind of red flag from the tuner may be the reason for your dyno numbers..

I'd have to agree there ^^^. I missed that comment.

Yes, you knew it and I think the explanation before was taken out of context is all when it was typed out.

Going for your tune today?

I'm not sure how changing oil is gonna affect your AFR. I don't know everything though!

yes tune at 1pm. Im going to talk to him about that wine.

JCunningham · 07-23-2014, 01:08 AM

well it didnt put out any more but he did have to add fuel and it runs better. for some reason it did not wine at his shop. Im leaving it in. I dont want to risk something being wrong with the cam bearings. if I find a bad cam bearing the motor has to come out and be disassembled so might as well be gone anyway. well if it blows the car will sit until I get the money to buy a wet sump LS7.
it was 10 degrees warmer today then last time
