Well finally got the car tuned after putting the Lower on.....
 
And it's a beast!!!!!!!!!!!! After a long day of trying to figure out why my car was running out of fuel it turns out the battery was almost dead! The car would have plenty of fuel, then all of a sudden it would go dead lean. Rick saw the battery wasn't seeing very many volts at about the same rpm the car was going lean and did a test on it, sure enough it was dead. Took it to Advance and got it charged, and BAM I had fuel. The car spun the rollers to the tune of 550 rwhp and 538 rwtq!! I actually made a little more power at one point but it was rather lean.....so I'm going by the final numbers. Then it came time to spray the car, the bottle was almost empty and after an hour of having the bottle heater on it could only get to 900 psi. I wasn't expecting very good numbers, just mainly wanted to be sure the A/F and timing was safe, then maybe get the bottle filled and go to GSC to get some numbers. But it made sick power!!!! 638 rwhp and 731 rwtq on a 75 shot!! I did die off after 5300 rpms as the bottle pressure dropped like a rock, so I'm sure it would have made some crazy numbers with a full bottle. I know some of us in here aren't the biggest fans of Amazon, but the numbers my car makes on their dyno have always been right on par with what it makes at GSC. Rick and Matt put in a LOT of time yesterday on my car to get it done right, and what they charged me did not reflect the amount of time they put in at all! All in all I'm stoked and can't wait to see what the car runs at the track!

Way to go. hope it does well at the track.

Who's tune were you running before? Are your numbers now a lot different than the other tune?
Glad you are happy with Amazon's work and hope it works well at the track.:cheers

I was running their tune before also. I had it tuned for just the 2.75 upper, and was hoping I could get away with throwing a 2lb lower on there and not need a retune. When I went to GSC and dynoed it and saw the a/f I knew I needed to get it retuned, being that was the case I went ahead and put the 4lb lower on there. My car made 520/497 with just the 2.75 upper both at Rick's dyno and GSC's, so my new numbers are a gain of 30rwhp and 40rwtq.

Well I've got a BAP so the duty cycle was fine, I think it was in the mid 80's with the bap on 30. The injectors were close near 6500 but he put a little more pressure in the rails so the car will be fine.
