After the first run greg called me over an said the car wasn't running right and I agreed and during the second run he shut it down halfway through

LOL, don't be embarassed. You found out your car has an issue and can get it fixed now. You might have prevented damaging something down the road.

Let's stay on topic.

Good luck man, the funny thing is thats how I found out my Cobra was running lean and had a belt slippage. I met Greg at Irwindale and went his dyno day and low a behold my car wasn't running the way it should've. Greg fixed everything and I couldn't be any happier.

Well greg didn't personally change out my plugs an filter today this hispanic guy did I'm an asshole for not asking his name but he was a cool dude either way he changed my plugs an found a puddle of oil in the 8th cylinder I think it was..couldn't even see the plug..a gasket was missing so oil was leaking

and when he changed the fuel filter out fuel came out lookin like chocolate milk..once he did everything..greg put it on the dyno and it made 273/295 compared to 263/268 on Saturday..now just gota fix the gasket problem then I can go back to modding again..car runs better though

Here's a pic of the chart

Nice numbers man. Run some seafoam thru the tank to clean the injectors. But only use 1/3 of the can.

...happened to me as well when I had Charlotte dyno-tuned two years ago, but I forget the reason why I it was given 2 passes instead of three. All I remember was smoke was coming from the rear (after installation of my Billetflow pulleys (new), JLT rai (new), and o/r midpipe and c/b (used)) and that was that. :backpedal: Despite this, I was happy with the results, just wasn't sure why the car wasn't given a 3rd pass. :batman:

Maybe when I have enough cash saved, and I add more stuff to it, and have it dyno-tuned, I'll get 3 passes. :)
