I picked the car up last November with the goal of building up a fun, fast, and tastefully done fox. When I bought it, the previous owner had already installed a Novi 1000. With full exhaust and everything else stock, the car dynoed at 315rwhp and 325rwtq.<br /><br />Phase one was to build up the motor to make decent power. This is my daily driver so I wanted to make sure that every time I start it up, it will put a smile on my face. A basic HCI was in order. I decided to go with a Cobra intake with ported lowers, AFR 165 heads, and a FTI custom cam. AND to spin that little blower a tad bit faster, I opted to go with an 8" crank pulley.<br /><br />When I finally got all my parts together, I contacted JohnB for his service. He did a wonderful job on the install and took his time to do everything right. Thanks again for the great work John <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> .<br /><br />With all the new parts installed, the previous tune was no longer good. There was only one place for me to go, AED <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> . I got in contact with Shaun and I made my appointment. I made my 115mile trip from the Bay Area to the shop and it was worth every mile. Shaun gave me a little tour of the shop. For anyone who hasn't seen the shop, it is a top notch shop. It's VERY clean inside and well organized. The cars that were in the shop were all super sweet rides.<br /><br />Before we did anything, we went over my combo and there were a couple of things that concerned him. He explained in detail what I should do in the future and gave me some useful tips. After chatting for a while, we decided to strap it down on the dyno and see what it would do with a base tune. The first pull w/o the chip was 253rwhp, something was up. Shaun checked the timing and made an adjustment. The next pull, the power jumped to 451rwhp. I was <img border="0" alt="[dance]" title="" src="graemlins/dance.gif" /> inside. To make a long story short, Shaun did a few more pulls and worked his magic to the tune of 462rwhp and 438rwtq. We only went to 6k rpm b/c of my valvesprings and my msd ignition box only had a 6k pill. This combo should ideally be able to pull to 6,500rpm. At this point, I was more than happy with the number and I know I'm pushing the stock block. Thank you again Shaun for everything.
