Very happy NEW race iq customer

Shoutout to Tony and Lukas over at race iq, their customer service is fantastic to say the least and Tony really knows what he’s doing. Got my 55 tuned with LTH, 80mm clutched and a couple small things and wow, this thing rips now compared to my old tuner and 83mn pulley. I locked my ecu whilst tuning and shipped it to Tony, he took care of it same day, returned 2 days later! Awesome guys, a new and will be returning happy customer

Why an 80 mm instead of a 77 mm or 76 mm? Injectors?

Probably heat because from what I heard tony can tune 76mm without injectors even 74mm.

haha yeah it’s still in ATL. Jason has been working a number of things and is still getting it all done. This latest delay is a delayed caused by me. So 🤞🏼to Tony next week. I have driven over a few times to check in and make changes to the plan.

Then will coordinate it being picked up to transport to Bham to have body work cleaned up and new items done.

That he is, and being close to him in ATL is even better. I have dropped off cars to him to tune at his house while flying in and out of ATL Great personal connection over all these years.
