You need to do what I say to ALL of my customers who get a car tuned elsewhere, or work done by a dealer, and complain its not making the right power.

98 percent of the time its not the tuner/dealers fault, its the car, and you always need to give the car a chance to settle into a trim routine, rather than just picking it up off the kerb and expecting to raise the titanic.

Mate, Im pulling Boss motors apart this morning, try me on 03 9305 3000.

sorry i didn't call chris , i slept all day after working MN shift. i'll monitor over the next few days, i dont want to waste your time while i'm not sure, if i am still in doubt after a few days, i will call you on what to do next.

i tried to listen for preignition under load today, and i'm not sure if i could hear any at all in anyscenario, perhaps just a little under full acceleration , hard to tell. then again i am pretty sure i may have noticed this before.
sooner or later , i will no doubt get the car redynoed, and get a scan check on timing etc.
perhaps a custom tune may actually be better than a factory one, for absolute correctness. and i may go down this path later, for perfection more so than performance. anyway, wont go too far off topic .
life would be so much easier for my gt if BLUEPOWER , were in PENRITH buddy. it's times like this when people like me , who have 1/2 an idea, realize, that not many workshops have experiance with the boss.whilst they are out there it's a specialised field.
