Do you really think the tuner could deny the customer his car because its running lean? Sounds like to me that the dyno shop told Winged that he was out of fuel but HE chose to take the car and figure it out himself. As a shop owner, I know that I can only recommend to the customer. I can't force the customer to do squat. I can't tell you how many times I've had a customer leave the shop with something less than ideal because his buddy has a similar set up or because some internet jockey on the Corral said it was OK. Can't tell you how many times I've seen those same customers hurt their equipment or struggle with less performance than they really have the capability of.

Sure looks like its out of pump and injectors to me.
So what happened between the 1st and 2nd run? (with the info we have) it looks like the car picked up 20 rwhp and went really lean with no changes. Then with the car running out of fuel the tuner decided to add timing for the 3rd run. Now here's a question for ya, if the car was running out of fuel making 350 at the wheels why would anyone try to spray a 150 shot on it?

Good question on the NOS run....only Winged or the tuner could answer that.

I want to see a dyno graph. First he asked what parts he should buy and a week later hes at the dyno for the second time.

I am sure I am not the only one that thinks this is a little fishy. Especially since a week earlier he also had 24# injectors if you look at his other thread.

I was interested in his results but I am having a hard time finding them credible.

Forgot one of my all time favorite sayings:

"If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and flies like a duck, do you really have to wait to hear it quack?"

Someone has some wires crossed, not telling us the whole story, or is just flat out playing games with us.
