[bandit10]

Greenfoam is the man, took around 2-3 weeks max when i got mine off him that was from my 1st contact to having the memcal in my car!

Well worth the wait, why gamble on a unknown tuner when we have our own "in house" tuner so to speak! who comes highly recommended..

You went 9.24 actually maybe a 9.4 9.3? beforehand, you defiantly went 9.24 the night I was there swapping tunes, it's written in my thread but if you are prepared to run advance on the dizzy and have no other mods 16-18 degrees is good. I wouldn't do it myself since it's not ideal but it works well

edit: it was on the 1-1-10 you ran 9.24, if you want to check your time slips for that 9.2, I'm sure it will be there, I reckon that's about as fast as it went before you got the stall converter

there is more to a tune than just changing spark timing. does twisting the dizzy have any effect on the fuel maps? no. do any form of engine work and your idea of just twisting the dizzy will do more harm that good. simple fact is your car runs faster with greenfoams tune so no need to go spreading lies about his tunes doing nothing when there are plenty of people on here that would prove you wrong.

[greenfoam]

low vs, I will add, if you do choose to advance the dizzy rather than do the tune. If the car is the VS HSV? then don't advance it to 16-18 degrees, the HSV tune already runs more advance, 14 degrees would be about right on the HSV tune. But those things don't run lean cruise by defualt (the HSV's) and the gearbox on a VS is all electronic so there's plenty more you can do to those aside from timing, just depends what you want

yeah tru,nice ute by the way mate

cheers man, I sure have spent alot of time and money on her, nice looking vs u got too mate

iv got getrag 5speed, hurricane extractors,2 venom high flow cats into twin 2.5" exhaust into 3"single at the back,3.45 diff gears,70mm throttle ,cai with k&n panal filter,and jus got brand new genuin injectors(but havent fit injectors yet)so my original question was since theres a long waiting list on your tunes was gonna try this memcal on ebay but wana no what u guys think of it b4 i go forking out $100 odd dollars,and if this ebay memcal is crap ill jus wait at the back of the line for a foam tune...any advice apreciated

[executer]

i got my vs 5 litre chipped from that bloke. Made a good difference, and runs totally fine. Only problem was, that i had to solder the eprom onto my memcal and remove the original chip. Pretty easy, just dont install it back to front. I think his tunes are also pretty good.
