      FML my luck is the worst

      OK, chased down a meth flow issue while setting up the JB4, dialed in my Map 6 additives, car is running fine, so time for dyno, appointment set for 4:30 PM, get there, the car on the dyno broke down! I have the WORST luck!!!!! They say I might still be able to get on after 7PM but I'm not pushing my luck. Who knows though.

      That isnt bad luck... Thats just a broken dyno.

      Bad luck is if an 18 wheeler jack knifed beside you and you total your car.
      Some people live long, meaningful lives.

      Other people eat shit and die.

      I'm not racist, I hate everybody equally; especially fat people.

      Probably a blessing in disguise. Unless you paid for a few hrs on the dyno it's best to troubleshoot on the road to ensure the tuning is close under real world loads, then just fine tune on the dyno.

      meth flow reading was all over the place. Probably defective positap, resolved after directly connecting the wire to the JB4.

      Seriously? The eye catcher title to complain about a broken dyno?

      Wasn't my intention to imply that I broke something... if I could change my thread title I would, sorry.

      By looking at the title i thought you hit a little girl. then took it to hospital and when her mom arrived you, you realized that she was your ex. Then she told the little girl is your daughter!

      You think you might have those issues Dzenno is going through? Are they misfires or under boost issues?
