I got tuned yesterday, however the dyno numbers were showing low for some reason. The best was 248whp. Which makes absolutely no sense since the car feels alot stronger than that. Mark did a great tune. He got the curve nice and smooth. Apparently my Prodrive solenoid is defective since it wouldnt let Mark go over 20psi. Its acting as if it was the stock solenoid. My friend Eddie has the same solenoid and it hit 25psi on the first pull and holding. Mines go to 20psi and then back to 16.

Either way, car is pulling great! Mark did a great job on the tune. Not sure why the dyno would read so low.
