Mellon tunes AEM's as well.

I met Mellon last year at the Normal IL, MOD event. Friendly, professional and a no bs kind a guy, I decided to put my GT35R car in his hands for a final run through this year, since he had an opening... I was looking for a more refined tune, with some peace of mind. The end results were phenomenal.

My car runs smooth as glass. Ive been tooling around at 20psi for, what feels like years... Which.. Actually it has been... Mellon reviewed the map, changed some timing parameters and encouraged me that its now safe to turn up the wick.

20psi... fun
25psi... more fun.
30psi... too much fun.

The car pulls strong, and I couldn't be happier. Excellent work from a great guy who is customer focused. Horse power numbers are just wild speculations at best, I need to get to an awd dyno one of these days... For now, Ill just enjoy it and state it makes more than stock.

glad you're enjoying the car again Dan...I knew we all had smiles on our faces each time we increased the boost a bit

The old tune had way too much timing and fuel so it's in much better shape now and should get better fuel economy too.

I would, but my laptop bit the big one, so it may be a bit before I can post numbers. Im glad I put that rally rs lsd in it before the tune. I cant imagine driving this thing without it.
