Default Long shot: Anyone knowledgeable in the NY area I can bribe to help with some tweaks?

When I went SIII Mark@ASP did some minor tweaks to better match the tune to my car. Since then I have added IC'ers and deleted the cats. I think because of this the car is actually running slightly worse.

I plan to have a full custom tune done once WI is installed however in the meantime I'd like to do some logging and make some improvements to have the car running better.

Anyone in the NY area that can help? Bribe you with some beer or dinner?

Greg aka SSP Tuning can tweak your car. I don't how well Mark@ASP will go over with that idea though.

Default do you have a boost gauge? have you noticed a drop in boost pressure?

otherwise, there's not really any reason that would make your car *slower*, unless you 1) f'd up your O2 sensors, or 2) f'd up the cat gutting.

Default Yes. No.

1) Doubt it.

2) Swapped cats for test pipes.

I won't pretend to know what is causing it, just know it seems slower and to be running worse.

Default maybe. maybe.

but this problem was there last december and I've run multiple tanks of gas through it recently.

Yes they were used, but I did my best to clean them out first.

Default No substitute for a custom tune, if you are sweating the WI, don't... Bring the car down...

I'll put it on the dyno and datalog it. Then optimize for the setup.

When you install the WI, we can simply tune for that and add that profile into your ecu later.

Currently we can run 8 programs in the ECU, switchable via your laptop.
