RET in Downey, CA tunes my car and.....

I got Greg from RET tune my car, I have a KB @ 13 psi.
He did a very conservative tune since is my DD. The numbers are

492/468
The car is a Beast, I am posting a graph with the previous tune. It was on 15psi and now is at 13 and making more power and torque..

The first video is the Dyno tune and the second one is a preview of the race tune...


Street tune 492/468

I installed the blower a while back. I have seen them intalling blowers and let me tell you, Greg does some clean *** intalls.

The car was tuned at another shop before, greg is 5 min away from my house vrs the other shop 2 hours or more depending on traffic.

Sounds great, and very impressive numbers, especially on less boost

We were testing the car and my belt got ****ed on the two ribs close to the engine, It seams like they were hitting where the stock idlers were before. we grinded down a lil the timing cover and now is working great, for my bad luck napa didn't have more belts for me. I ordered 3 more belts, BTW what size belt are you runing?? HAve you tried to play with the gripper plate to tight the belt a lil.

Nice performance spec's! I'm one week away from my KB install I decided to go with 12psi since the bottom end of the engine is stock. Even with that I will probably exceed the recommended HP for the pistons of 450 HP. My goal is 500 RWH when all is said and done. Eduardo that tank on the right side of your engine compartment did you upgrade that tank for your KB? If so can you share some info on it. I like how it looks, I think the KB tank is smaller and made of plastic yes?

In fact I modified a Canton aluminum tank. I welded two 2 inch aluminm strips to it and Use a hole that is on top of the fender, you need to eliminate the windshield washer fluid container.

LOL... I have a built short block with low compression, lower than stock. Upgraded valve springs and that's it. Maybe I get ported heads and stage 3 cams next year.
