bj78 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 well back out with the firestorm again todays for about 2hrs or so, doing all the final runs and loving every minute just having the biggest smile on my face ever at the mo and with any luck get back out tomoz for a while before partying only trouble is and i'm sure the cold is playing a part in this but i was constantly having to tune whilst using and dam that car is fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981robbo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah the cold weather you'll prob be fiddling with the hsn as you need to compensate for the air density with more fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981robbo Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) the atmospheric conditions play a bigger part in the tune that people realise.. That's why some people are like' it worked yesterday, and I payed the shop to tune it properley If only it was that simple haha. Welcome to the steep learning curve;) Edited December 31, 2012 by 1981robbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
