I've got a blitz dual SBC spec S. Low is 0.6bar and high is 0.8bar, been tuned by one of the best in the business (imho) and I havent had any detonation or pinging, but its also a lot colder than summer, so I'll be reverting to 0.6bar (I think stock is 0.5bar anyway) when summer rolls around and when I can afford it I'll pop in a front mount i/c

Nope, I'm tired of people argueing about who the best tuning shops are and who are crap and use sub standard methods, plus I dont like naming names as a couple of years ago I almost got taken to court for a post on hotcopper.com about the company I was working for. My suggestion is look at what projects they have built or had a hand in.

I've been to 3 tuning places and I'm very happy with this one.

Not that it matters to me cos I have my own favourites , but you can't get into trouble for recommending someone, only if you bag them without just cause.

IMHO I'm sure the tuner would be happy for the free plug as most times all you hear is how bad someone is, not how happy you are.

:)

also might add to the list of places to try

i've been to;

psi

cypher

formaz

and xspeed

have heard of

barry's automotive

performance turbos

west racing

and a couple others i can't remember

in the end it comes down your personal experience at a place. a name want hurt.

ps for your 1/4 time on those boost levels low to mid 14sec passes with your mods

Count me in, so long as its fine and cold. Just had a boost controller put in and I want to improve on my 14.82 I set last-time (completely stock, cept for a 3.25" cat back system). I'm hoping for a very low 14 or high 13 with the extra boost.

Rob

Hmm I can't see you getting 13s with cat back and a bit of boost.

My first run was 14.5 - that was with just cat-back and pod filter.

now i have full turbo back exhaust with hi flow cat and 10psi (.7bar)

I am still not sure if i will hit 13s or not....... probably depend on the conditions ie how slippery the track is and how cool the air is.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
