Tuning, is the grass greener on the other side?

That's what I'm talking about:roflsquared::roflsquared:
Yeaaaaa buddy:naughty:
I know you've been working hard to get your time down, congratulations. I know how good it feels, I had to work hard on mine too. Get out in that cold Canadian air one night, I know you got a 5.03 in it.

lol that's what i'm thinking. Its been hot lately 25-33 which is probably 90-100 Fahrenheit. Get a nice calm day around 0 in the fall and see what she does :)

No doubt in my mind man, our Hemi's love cold air. I'm averaging 5.3-5.4 right now with the heat and Awful humidity. I think you can drop .5 on your runs minimum in the fall/winter. No Doubt:favorites13:

Went out with the go pro this evening. Got a 5.56 0-60 and a 9.22 1/8th mile. Hoping this all translate into the track and I can get my 1/4 from 14.7 to 14.3-14.4.

For anyone that is still interested or in denial that JG is quicker I went back to SIR this evening, weather was the ***** - 23 degrees warmer to be exact vs last month when I ran HF. My times were a hair slower but DA corrected to 14.1 vs 14.4 :)

I wonder if HF had as many chances at re-tuning your truck as Jay did what the final results would be.

No one is forcing you to read my thread. Figured there's enough HF praise threads that one going the other way may be refreshing.

When I addressed my concerns with Sean and my slower than expected times I got this as an answer. When I addressed any concerns with Jay, I got a new tune until it was right.

My issue was I was quickly dismissed. I could have may a thread praising HF's customer service for working with me to get my truck figured out.

Nick, when did you add your intake?
Did you show up with a full tank of gas again this time?
Was your tailgate and spare tire still on the truck?
Were you running a traction control delete tune from Jay?
Was this on 89 or 91 octane fuel?
