Just back from our 1900 mile round trip to Dallas. Made the trip into a before school road trip with my 13 year old daughter. There were 7 other Rauders at shop. Marty and Jeff got us in (with appointment) gears swapped and an excellent tune in a day.
Car made about 383 before his tune and then made 429PH at the tire after. More important is now it is not a slug off the start and around town. Before the tune the transmission tune was horrible. Now it shifts firm, but still like a cozy car should at around town throttle.
Only unexpected occurrence is the common axle damage around the outer bearings, but the shop had a set delivered the same day so it did not slow us down much.
Marty and Jeff helped us pick a good hotel instead of a local flea trap. Also got an opportunity to meet Mrs MO and see the kids and toys.
Only thing I didn't remember to do was get some Mo memorabilia. I will be forwarding a check for a shirt or two soon!
Thanks guys.

Yeah the old shop said it made 424 at the tire, but i wonder about their perimeters they put in the dyno. You could make it show 1000hp by changing the inputs. I bet MO's dyno is conservative as there was a stock looking fox body on the rollers right after mine and it only made 195-200 at the tire.

Bradshaw, it was great seeing you and meeting you in person.
Never mind the cars for a second, I am sure you realize how lucky you are to have such a FANTASTIC daughter!!! MIzz MO and I could not stop talking about her and how pleasant and polite she is. This planet needs a bunch more kids like that!!!!!
I hope to see you again soon!

Hard to think those old 5.0 were so weak in hp!
What gear ratio you go with 4.33 ? ;) We need to get you and Neil in a race, then you guys will inspire others here in town to get. Gofastitis. :)
Glad everything went smooth

Bradshaw glad Mo helped you out. He helped my Dad out with his 03 Harley Truck with a SCT4 and some tunes. Glad he got your car sorted out. KC tuners suck.

I'm looking into a rear gear swap and SW header installation with Dyno Tune by You. I'll need a few more months to plan a trip but will let You know a month in advance for sure.

Yep, mine went from 350 with the canned Trilogy tune to 409 with a Lightning MAF and Jeff's magic!

Marty the Rauder is gone. Miss it already. Looks like an 06 SRT8 300 C is coming home soon with 9100 miles on the clock. Can you do a remote tune????

I am not aware of a way to tune those cars remotely.
