PM Dan (turbo50) or me for info if you'd like. My tuner has 20+ years experience and can tune any setup you give him. And if it were me, I wouldn't go to TPS.

And if you do decide to go to AED, you won't be disappointed. Numbers may not be as great as a whipple, but you can expect a good, reliable tune.

I have a guy that has his own dyno and is independent but I always recommend Aed and MRP then go down the list if u can't get in or what not.....again I'd make peace with Aed because they can't be beat.

We strive to provide the best possible product (in this case tune) and sometimes that means telling the customer to change parts/setups to meet their goals.

Nothing serious, you guys run a great operation. I felt like I should look elsewhere after I was questioned if I wanted to keep the KB after being informed how much it could make on a whipple. I thought maybe you didn't want to work on the car if it had a KB. If you guys were to tune the car I would follow all requests as far as fuel and what not. Thanks for the reply.
Ah yes, I remember talking to you.

Hard to beat a Whipple 2.9L that we routeenly get 610-620RW on 15psi and pump gas (3.75" pulley).
No KB I've ever done has come close with the same boost level. Closest one was a Liquid Cooled 2.8H at 18psi and Pump/race gas mix. Made within 5hp of a similar combo 15psi Whipple 2.9L and straight 91.

For tuning it does not matter to me what you run, just giving you a heads up on what to expect so you don't leave the shop disapointed in the numbers.

Hey shaun whats up bud,just wondering how you get a 3.75 pulley on a whipple 2.9 to make only 15psi when ive seen them clip 17psi at the top. they make 15psi at peak torque as i have seen but I thought you guys dont tune cars with over 15psi on pump gas 91.So technically those numbers at 600plus are really being achieved at 17psi.Just curious that all.

Engines are most prone to detonation at peak torque.
I will not tune a stock Terminator on more than 15psi at peak torque. 17psi at 7K+ is no big deal.
I do centri's all the time with 17peak.

My little 2.4KB made 580rwhp SAE, that's kinda close....lol 15psi and pump gas.

Yeah, your KB is gifted!
So is Jason's 2.9 that out down 650 on 15psi. He ended up with 730 something on E85 with 19lbs. We left it there due to the stock engine. Didn't want to push it any harder.

Your engine can handle a bit more! I bet that little KB could hit 700 with E85 and more boost.

Our little 2.2kb on e85/19psi STOCK long block made 680/630 with Shaun tunning I'd say that's a healthy 2.2 setup [Wink]

Definately!

Highest we've ever gotten out of a 2.2L was 695RW. Swapped to the 2.8H and ran 9's.
