Re: heads/BRE cam not right??
I guess I could consider erratic cruising at 2500-3000 a possible surge.
I was just more focused on why the car isn't pulling as hard as it should, because cam surge, which can mostly be fixed by tuning, has no affect on the way the car runs at WOT.
There were other things at play (ie injectors) making this car not run up to par. Everyone was focused on surging and how good the tuner is, which was a misdirection. That's all I was trying to get across.

Jesus can you guys just STFU with all the bickering already. I go get lunch or come back to taking a break and it's 12 more posts of BS arguing. Drop it already.

Go figure 'eh?
I have a tiny bit of surge in the lower 2000 rpm range, but like LR said, I just drive around it
Might be able to get rid of some of it if I send the logs back to Bryan to take a look at it.

My stance is not that a mail order tune cannot be improved upon... I didn't just start doing this stuff yesterday, and after all I've seen and done I think I'd know better.

So your doubting this particular guy's tuning versus the work of the three named tuners?? Is that right? Not trying to argue here, but you should easily be able to see how people can interpet it the way i did.

Point out one thing you've read that leads you to believe that he is not a competent tuner.
