Just wanted to thank Dave for the great tune I got on my Bird! It was nice to meet the guys too, Greg, Ryan and a cast of others, and thanks to Ed for letting us all use his garage.
My car was bone stock from 1990 and they even had some difficulty removing my orignal O2 sensor:D for the tune process. By the way it was shot, and thanks to Sean Matheson who left one with one of the guys who had it in his toolbox, so it ended up in my car!
Dave, I have to say I have had the car for two years now and I have only reached 8lbs of blower pressure. Last night I let it go a bit at the light up the road from Ed's place and the boost went to 11 !!! :eek: The car is a rocket ship now.
I shouldn't admit this but on the way home on the 401 to London an Acura zoomed past me and I was clipping along at 120kmph. I could not let this happen so I blew by him and launched it on a straightaway section. For some reason my speedometer stopped at 100kmph but I looked down at my gps and it said 167kmph. I let off after a while and let the Acura finally pass me.
The car is running GREAT! Thanks again Dave... I highly recommend you for anyone else who wants a tune.;)

I would try taking your speedo cluster out and check to see if you have a parts sticker stuck in your speedo gear. It happened to mine and a few other peoples cars. The sticker dries out and lands right in the speedo gear, mine wouldn't go past 80km/h and wouldn't go slower then 20. Do you hear any noise at all coming from the cluster? It's a real easy fix if that is the case.

It's always a nice feeling when your car runs better.:)

No I have never had my cluster apart yet. I am not a maniac driver (usually) so the speed limit is ok for me. It did stick once at 100k even when I stopped. I hit the trip reset to zero the numbers and it fell back to zero.
I will pull it out when I get a chance and see about this sticker situation. Thanks for the advice.
