new Cobb AP tuner in NJ

[builthatch]

this week i stopped by Akuma in Morganville, NJ, right near Englishtown Raceway - http://akumamotorsports.com/

I was very impressed with the shop considering it JUST opened. The owner used to develop for Cobb in UT (John Schafer) and has all of the ATP software, including the stuff for our cars. They have an eddy current Mustang dyno so crucial part throttle and loaded tuning is possible.

Tell him Jared the Eibach rep referred you; you'll get a bonus kick in the ballz!

****** incredible, John is such a nice guy. Going back this weekend with a buddy so he can finish up his tune. I had a protune from a different tuner, it was like night n day. John was able to make more power with less boost and keep everything well within safety margins.

to quote him from another thread-

Originally I had an AMR protune set to 20psi (mods are in sig). on his mustang dyno it came out as 230whp 260wtq. John took a look at all the readings from the car and said i was in danger of a rod wanting out b/c the tune was all over the place, the boost was jumping from 16-21psi the entire run, ltft's were in the high teens, and the engine was being drowned w/ fuel. He retuned me at 18psi and i put down 250whp/280wtq at 11.6-11.8 afr across the board. All my trims are within 3% too which is awesome.

John also tapered my boost in so i can basically floor it at 2500 (which i wont do anyway) and the car will feather the throttle for me, i hit 14psi then climb to 18 so i dont have that huge tq spike at low revs. Throttle reponse is much more linear and predictable both at WOT and part throttle as well.

sounds like John did a KILLER job!

keep in mind Akuma uses a mustang so it will GENERALLY show a lower number than what most dynojet people are used to seeing, but then again we know comparing dyno sheetz unless it's the same exact dyno place and dyno manipulations is silly : )

didnt want to answer until i scanned the sheet in but i guess people couldnt wait lol. and the AMR tune on their dyno read 265hp/315tq so if you do go there expect to cry lol.
