How to tune a car right: Part 2, tuning Ford with BA Motorsports:
Not long ago, I wrote a story about a pony car tuned with a supercharger. The blower install had been done properly. Then the car's owner bolted on a set of great looking wheels wrapped in good looking but inexpensive rubber. On my first test drive, I couldn't get any of that supercharged sweetness to the ground. It was the perfect ride for parking in a Burger King parking lot on a Friday night.
I would say over 75% of the people that come to see me are after big numbers. Most will come in with their dyno graph or dyno video and say,"I want that."The biggest thing is find someone that has done what your end goal is, and listen to them. Find someone you like, that you communicate well with, and listen to what they tell you, and you're going to have a good product in the end. Do your research.
Exactly. We've talked a few customers out of sales. For instance, someone says,"I want long-tube headers on the car, but I want to put a turbo on it next year." They're investing the money wrong, because there are headers specifically for turbos. Save your money and you can get your turbo kit sooner. When you know you're going to take off A, B, and C, it isn’t a good enough investment to do them. And to me, most of this stuff isn't really a good investment.
It’s a conversation to have when we're doing stuff like the oil pump [to get the] minimal labor time investment. We'll make people aware, ‘If we're going to be this far down, you should think of doing this while we're here because it's going to save you money.’
