I finally got the Mach 1 tuned. I installed a SCi Vortech onto my built motor. Stock cams, 10 lbs boost, intercooled with a dual pass heat exchanger and a trunk mounted 5 gallon water tank. It also has a dual nozzle AEM water meth kit. Anyway, on a Mustang Dyno, at Powerplant Motorsports in Poughkeepsie, NY, Tuned by none other than Bob Kurgan from Kurgan Motorsports...... It laid down 540 rwhp and 481 ft lbs tq......On 10 pounds! I'm pleased, many of you may feel differently, but I promise this is only the beginning!!!!!!

Yes, he tuned the car remotely from his shop. The dyno facility and my laptop had teamviewer installed. Bob took over my laptop and the dyno computer. All we had to do was upload the tune files, and run the dyno. It went seamlessly, and Bob is an awesome guy!

yeah, i heard bob was awesome.
i just dont understand the logistics of the remote tune.
doesnt your dyno facility have a tuner ?
it would be like going on a date with a girl .... to get her sister .
my tuner would kick my ass if i brought my car there to have it tuned by someone else !!

The dyno facility I used doesn't have the software to tune SCT. It would cost roughly $10,000 for all of the software.
I wouldn't go to a shop if the guy was unreasonable about making money just for running his dyno. Think about it, the shop really has to do nothing tough and takes no responsibility for any tuning issues.
I wanted the best tuner, Bob qualifies as one of them, he had my car done in One and a half hours! Besides, Bob and his staff have been working with me on this build since August, Bob helped me put all of the components of the fuel system and supercharger system together. It's only right to let him work his magic. Logistically speaking, Bob watched the datalog from the pull and tuned from there. He also looked at the info the dyno was giving.
Believe me, if I could have driven to Georgia for the tune I would, but this was the next best thing.
