Adrenaline Cook out/Dyno Night/Meet
A lot of people are saying his tune was probably on the ragged edge of blowing up. I'm saying he didn't tune the car to just make loads of power at the risk of it being an unsafe tune. That tune is the same tune he'd give to anyone else that brought him a car with that setup.
eh, I'll agree to disagree. There wasn't a special tuner battle tune on marcus's car.

I can see how people would think it's unfair. Here's what it comes down to.
-I tuned the car on crome, Matt tuned it on neptune. I couldn't even look at Matt's map if I wanted to , mine was from scratch.
-Marcus' car put down the same power since Matt tuned it, and we havn't even checked for boost leaks since. the car remains untouched.
*the car made 432 on the dyno day, previously it made 422 and 451 (422+451)/2=436.5, and take into account it was hotter out than when matt tuned it.
-I wanted Matt's tune to go first, I got the short end of the stick on that with the heatsoak. Keeping that in mind, I even detuned it before the run.
-My tune was compared to the 'Cadillac' of tunes. The, what, $350-500 Adrenaline Autoworks/Matt shue dyno tune.
for the record. I'm not trying to stir anything up. Just bring my name up, from where adrenaline has attempted to drag it through the mud. I like to think my work speaks for itself.
Matt, thanks for being a good sport.
Pip, I know you were expecting me to make an ass out of myself, thanks for having me.
I heard the other tuner (not shue) was a very aggressive tuner. I thought a tuner should tune someones car for longetivity, not to see how far they can push the motor for horsepower. Thought that was sorta of a stupid part of it, but that's just my .02
But awesome turn out, some really nice cars

Well Scott "the other tuner" has tuned my all stock single cam on 15 psi and I daily drove it for a year with out any problems what so ever. The car still runs flawlessly and I would and will let him tune any car that needs it in the future. When tunning Scott has alot of things in mind not just power. He even takes people daily driving these cars into consideration and trys to better their gas milage when out of boost. When it comes down to it Scott has just done all of his homework and knows what he is doing.

My old car made 700hp on stock 150k+mi NA internals, years ago. The car never sees less than 21psi, and up to 28psi. I sold it to someone in Indiana. The guy drove it home for a 18hr road trip, and the motor is still intact, he just can't keep transmissions from grenading.
