Default Re: Looking for a Holley Terminator X wiring expert.

Will not give away too much yet...But Matthew Goade of RAD (River Auto & Dyno), Lake Havasu City is a magic man on the keyboard tuning me throug a bucket list Spring Fling when we had to start all over fresh with a much larger injector. I could dial and go rounds a .002, a .017, a string of .030-.038 1 early deep red, and 1 foolish bet with Peter Biondo on an .003 for 50 bucks that was my worst light of the week...contained a 3..proceeded by an.08 (Note to self do not get wise with the seller of the boxes and parts you do not use), the lord gets even, sends a message and pride goes before the fall...but when he asked what my light would be I wasn't going to say .083 I said almost same thing it was at this time yesterday (.002), and padded it by a thou he said if it was he would pay 50 bucks...it wasn't. He collected a buyback and I got a free ice cream. Lol.

The tuning though was amazing (had three mechanical little things needed immediate attn. over 3 days, all fixed), and he said it was also 1/4 mile ready on the tune, everything looks good...Drive it hard, drive it like I stole it! So, that combined with a famous last file, last pass breakout off the throttle fully and on the brakes (against an unknown trip zip .000 8 thou total pkg in the other lane behind me....and looking up to see I was broke out .08 on a .25 in dial in an 8mph, gusting to 17-18 mph headwind at almost 2,500 corrected D.A.....that last file loaded is fast and I am looking forward to my first Nat. Event quarter mile Q-pass session on the 11th, eve, in D and through the muffler. Really looking forward after some data soon fir a sneak up but full wring out shifting it fully.

Following the advice of a great Tuner though, and that day will come soon enough!

TY huge Matthew Goade (RAD)! Racing and crewing fir Scott McClay on his Comp Elim. Entry these next 3 again (⁴ wides plus LODRS double at Vegas), will be interesting and busy. Adding a generator to keep it all charged up and aired up helped a bunch.

May will bring more fun as racing goes away until a bracket double in June, heading out to Texas to see some old and new friends and add a bit faster slow car to a Div. Double that rarely has a slow entry show up there.

Only been there at The Motorplex once in 1995 (a rain out after qualifying), and never got to return (Used that entry in Baton Rouge, LA a month later in the season). So, looking forward to that and finally meeting Greg Hogue in Aledo too!

We shall see how much faster (under index at least), we can work up to by races 4/5 on the new Holley Terminator X.

Thank you again MATTHEW. I know it has been a pain, unicorns are like that, but it is getting faster and sounds better than ever...those plugs are amazing looking for a car that was forever slow and phat!

Anyone in need of a fantastic Tuner (all types of systems, in person, in shop, or remote), or overall car design, build, etc.
