I've honestly "tuned" or assisted in tuning, about 1/2 half of the cars on this board, at one point or another.
Since John worked at Elite, he had a hand in MANY cars and the tuning of them.
Due to the fact that we are just buying a dyno now, many vehicles have been street tuned ( I know, tsk tsk, not safe), or on other people's dyno's (Elite, RS-Motors, Hi-Tech Motorsports, and that one place in BFE john went to).
The street tuned cars were done 90% of the time on our own wideband.
Some of the "highlights"
Johns Galant, 423whp, 22psi, pump gas, EMS. Cira early 2003. That was with that "monster" 60 trim he ran.
John's talon, 516whp 454tq, S-AFC and Maf-T, same setup. Again that "super cool" 60 trim.
Then we switched to the EMS and got 532whp and 500ft/lbs torque.
Scott's 2.4 2g with no boost to redline (aka 30psi by 4k, 20psi by redline, no downpipe, gotta love that "Huge ass" scm61 with the stage 3 wheel he has)
476whp, 523tq. Dsmlink, and we just "gave up" tuning it as the boost wasn't there. The peak power and torque was at less than 25psi.
Carry's 2g was fun on Rs Motors dyno. I think I had 420whp by 4k? and again at 7k? Gotta love spark blowout on stock wires.
90% of Barton's setup we can lay claim to. (He has gotton REALLY REALLY good at tuning since moving to Flordia). We use to help him when he lived around here.
I remember we street tuned Marcus's car. That car "ripped" at 18psi on pump gas (woot a Mutt turbo!)
The point is, we've tuned enough backasswards setups to know when "enough is enough".
And we've tuned enough "good setups" to wish we had a dyno to play on all day. Which we now do
