Default Thanks to TDC in Mobile AL 56k Killer

I meant to post this earlier but have not had a break to do so

I went to AL to tune a few cars. Mike from TDC picked me up and let me stay with him. Very nice house. Guy must be doing something right Anyway. First car shows up Friday night. These guys stay super late to accommodate the owner and myself. We get going and notice a fuel issue. Mike takes the fuel pressure regulator and fittings off his own project car. Issue solved. I tuned the car on pump gas and we call it a night/morning

Second day. Come back to make sure cold start it good to go. Drain all the pump gas. Put C16 in. Tune for the C16. All the time Thomas from TDC is helping with the dyno. Gave us more time and was convenient for me. Car finished up at 585whp on 93 octane through the TH400 trans and 840whp on C16 through the TH400 way out of fuel pump and injector

Second car comes up. Has some issues. Mike helps me out quite a bit. Things go smoothly from there. Help around the shop. All the guys there are cool as Hell. Definately know what they're doing

My time comes to leave. I miss my trip out. Thomas picks me up at 1:30am. Next day takes me out to Pensacola Airport from Mobile. Like I said. Cool people I goto a lot of shops throughout the eastcoast and I will definately be back to TDC

I had more pictures but as soon as I got back to Tampa I had to leave for Miami for the weekend to tune. I accidently deleted the other pictures A VERY nice 1973 240 with an RB25 ATI TH400 single turbo making 550whp, some sort of old school wagon with an SR20DET, etc. Lots of different cars. Mike, Thomas and the rest of the crew I will always drop anything for! I will see these guys at IFO in AL Nov 9th. I'm bringing two Supras up

Found out the "wagon" is a 1971 Datsun 510. Couple pictures of the 240 RB25 from the owner

is that a dual charged DSM? what turbo is on it and what blower is on it

if so could you see if you could get permission from the owner to share the dyno from it

Thanks for comin up alpha, its been long overdue. hadnt seen you in a while.

We try to keep the shop as clean and as un-crazy as possible, but its rather hard.

These guys came through again for us. We brought two Supras to the IFO event. One with a new fuel system so we needed LATE night dyno access. Thomas from TDC stayed LATE and let us use the dyno. Come on Mike. I want to see those numbers fall

we have no closing hours at the shop

the numbers will fall, just need to make sure the correct motors dowel pins are on my block before dropping my head on but trapping over 140 with a tosted headgasket is still good
