first i want to say my GT is an automatic. JDM installed the SCT,steeda pulleys,and removal of filter trap&93 octane. i was going to go with the steeda CAI but decided not to at this time.my results do not include the spikes on charts.
my results in stock form: 254.73 hp/268.79 torque
my results w/ mods: 286.39 hp/309.49 torque
JIM at JDM is a professional for sure. he watched over my car the whole time i was there. he knows his stuff when its getting the most out of ones car or truck. ill be back for some minor adjustments due to time constraits for myself. JDM AND HIS STAFF ARE GREAT. THE CAR JUST KICKS BUTT COMPARED TO STOCK.
JDM IS THE PLACE TO GET YOUR MODS DONE!!!!

Quick question, may sound stupid, never had a car that has had to have a computer reflash for every mod and never had a car dynoed, but did JDM tune your car w/ just the SCT tuner and the Dyno results, or was there another component involved?
Thanks

How do you like the power now? I can't get enough. It's like the first few weeks of getting the car all over again. Great numbers!

jdm would do the sct and dynos and then go back to the computer and see what was needed to be corrected. i had about 10 pulls during my testing of the car.

so there computer programed your car, or did there programer program your programer(SCT) which programed your car.....or did they just use your programer(SCT) to program your car based on the info that the SCT programer already had in it.
-this has got to be the most complicated question on the forum...LOL
-I swear I'm not stupid.

Dyno time is usually 75-100 per hour and the first tune or two is usually complimentary from the guy you buy the actual xcalibrator from....they took at least ten on mine when i had mine tuned.....was a total of 1 hr. and 50 minutes of dyno time...shop just charged me a flat 100 and the SCT tech did the tune for free as I purchased the unit and cable for like 400 from him....

I've run into a shop here in town who approaches tuning differently.

He tunes on the street at $72.00 an hour. He only uses the dyno for H.P. and Torque readings before and after.

I personally like that approach.

i could have been out of the shop in 1 hour but that just not the right way of getting the job done right!! he could have just programed the sct and said later but they didnt. i was told to come back and get it "100% perfect" not by just saying "thats good"

John, I looked and couldn't find it, did you ever post your Dyno graphs? After last night I'd like to see what yours looks like
