Yee Haw!

Well, I got my Nelson Tune yesterday, and got my electric fans installed this afternoon - and yep, I'm pretty excited!!!

Runs like a molested monkey!

Props to Allen - he sure knows his stuff!!!

Re: Yee Haw!

I haven't gotten it Dyno's so it would just be speculation...The tune was for 89 octane which Allen said should add in the high 20's for hp. I'm not sure on the fans. I do know there is a HUGE difference in the acceleration and shifting now.

Re: Yee Haw!

The tune was $490 (included turning pin 42 on) and the e-fans were from a salvage yard, they were $100. The only other thing you'll need to do is fab some brackets for the fans.
