Click on the "Go Advanced" Button. Then underneath the area where you type the post... click on "Manage Attachments". That should bring up a pop-up window where you can upload images.
"174.2 hp" - sheesh, thats worse than stock. It'll be interesting to see what scott discovers.

I can't say that I'm surprised it pulled less power than stock.... There was no fuel in there!!
I wonder if the retard ran full boost without upping fuel... LoL That would be funny....

Before we start bashing this shop, you may want to look further into this.

Something doesn't seem right.
I can't imagine any tuner purposely running 18 A/F. I bet there is a whole lot more to this story than we are being told... afterall we are only hearing one side to it.

in the upper right hand corner, it says your location.
and what tuner do i use? myself.
which one did homeboy use? dunno. i'll see if i can get the name and address of the place if that makes you happy. so ease up on the dumbfuck comments. you're making yourself look dumb.

hello all, my suit is not filed yet because im waiting for the total cost of either engine rebuild or the the possibility of a engine replacement from mazsport engineering at this time.

it's pretty lean in the beginning, but afr's drop as soon as boost hits. it gets down to the low 11's up top. it's common to see a little lean spike right when the dyno is started. it's pretty lean in the beginning, but that could just be from the operator stabbing the gas real hard while starting the thing. i'd look more into too much timing than afr's.
did the operator say what the egt's were like?
was he measuring knock?
who was doing the pulls in 2nd gear?

after the dyno run i had my car towed to my nearest mazda dealer and the next day or two the mazda tech called me and said that the compression on my 8 was so low it would not register and that there was a severe knocking sound coming from the engine. he recommended a engine replacement but i decided to have my 8 shipped to mazsport scott so that everything can be done in one place especially the tuning.

60mph = 2nd gear. that's just lame. 4th is best, but at LEAST 3rd gear should be used. only time i've ever done a pull in 2nd was just to get a VERY rough ballpark idea of what things were doing.
