2008 GSR
Conditions: 69.64 def F, 29.87 in-Hg, Humidity 8%
Mods:
BBX-lite @ 26.5lbs (I didn't get a graph of the boost so I don't know the taper)
Rexpeed O2/DP
SpeedCircuit TP
Magnaflow CB
Taketa Intake
ETS 3" intercooler
DW 800 injectors
Aluminum intercooler piping
Greddy RS - like bov.
The car drives great with power coming on smooth and strong. Ivey put a very conservative and safe tune and it still made close to 400whp. He has a great shop and a great team. Thanx guys!

93 octane?
My guess would be yes because that's usually what is tuned on at Ivey unless it's e85 which I doubt because the numbers would be higher. Anyway, great numbers and it's really making me consider a lite because I essentially already have all the supporting mods and would be happy at 400whp. Congrats man!

Do you know when you hit peak boost? How does the car feel compared to stock turbo?

It depends really what method of tuning is used. Also somewhat depends on your mods. Usually you can expect at least about 2 hours or so.

That sounds about right. With common mods and no problems to troubleshoot (fueling, boost leaks, ignition, etc) then it goes pretty quick since the tuner has seen similar cars before and can cut/paste baselines from somebody else's tune into yours. It's when you have unique stuff--intakes, injectors, etc that things can get time consumming/expensive.

I don't think tuning takes 3 hours. You might be waiting for 3 hours for it to get started though :bowlol:. Small operation going on, but good service. Just bring some reading material.

Either I'm crazy, or this turbo spools late as hell. Simething is off if yOur peak tq hits at 4500... That's the same spool as lomker and i have on blacks..

I'm sure you meant murlo. I have a BBX that hasn't had a proper tune yet...went broke due to build complications. heh.

how much per hour?
Labor rates vary per where you go. Expect anwhere from $75-$100+.

the tune itself took about 2-3 hours i think. I also had the front mount installed at the....so it's hard to narrow down how much time was actually spent on tuning.

with graphs like this, it makes it real hard to choose between the lite or the full
