Dan Maslic, Owner of Masport Speed Shop, one of DDD’s Authorized Shops, has officially released his book about automotive tuning!

The website will be up very soon and once it is, we will post it to you.  Dan is a very accomplished dynotuner and will explain to you how to problem solve, navigate and tune with some of the major tuning software suites available to shops.

Speaking from experience (as a former dyno tuner myself,  for a major tuning manufacturer), Dan is the real deal!

Here is the Press Release regarding Dan’s book:  “EFI MASTER TUNER”

It includes many “real world” case studies from the vehicles listed below.  This one is hot off the press!

FOR RELEASE:  2008-11-26

Masport Speed Shop Announces EFI Tuning Book - “Master EFI Tuner” Available at Masport Speed Shop

BOCA RATON, Florida - November 26, 2008 – Masport Speed Shop today announced the release of a new EFI tuning book, “Master EFI Tuner”, written by Dan Maslic, the owner of Masport Speed Shop.  Master EFI Tuner was written with one goal in mind: To show readers how to tune almost any engine combination imaginable using commonly available tuning software and a simple, straight-forward tuning process.

Master EFI Tuner will provide readers with the necessary theoretical knowledge required to understand automotive EFI systems along with straight forward, right-down-to-the-heart-of-the-matter information that is easily understood and immediately useable by the reader tune almost any engine!  The book does this using a very simple format…

First, the concepts of EFI and the relevant theory are spelled out in very simple terms that are easy to understand.  This allows the reader to gain the necessary knowledge and insight required to confidently approach any EFI system that needs tuning.

Second, a universal, yet highly detailed tuning process is provided in a step-by-step format that allows readers to follow the relevant steps required to tune any EFI system.  The detailed tuning process covers everything from basic system settings up to providing detailed information on how to correctly tune by recalibrating the Mass Air Flow sensor table and correctly setting the Volumetric Efficiency table(s) and Ignition Timing Advance table(s).  The step-by-step process is easy to follow and is universal in that the tuning process can be used on almost any EFI system and on almost any type of vehicle, whether it’s a car, boat, airplane or motorcycle.  After you’ve read the book, you’ll be able to tune almost anything!

Third, the tuning process is reinforced with 6 different case studies that show how the tuning process is applied using real-world examples.  Case studies include different vehicles that have been modified from mild to wild.

Lastly, everyone who purchases a copy of Master EFI Tuner will receive a free subscription to the book’s complementary website, “www.masterefituner.com”.  This website will complement the book with even more useful tuning information!  Each month, a new case study will be featured on the website along with other useful and relevant EFI tuning information, including tuning “how-to” videos.  This revolutionary website will help provide continuous and up-to-date information each and every month.  A tentative editorial schedule of case studies includes the following vehicles…

1.    2005 Chevrolet SSR – tune for modifications including camshaft, L92 heads, long-tube headers, complete performance exhaust, 165 t-stat and cold-air intake.

Dodge Challenger SRT-8

Have a question? sales@razorsedgemotorsports.com

Project Challenger 8/1/08

Well we finally got our Dodge Challenger SRT-8 and it’s a beautiful car. Mopar really made an awesome platform for us to work with. As you can see we have designed some new parts for it already. The first you see is the all new Razors Edge Challenger Front Shock Tower Brace(shown in red). As with all of our previous Mopar vehicles we have identified some key areas for improvement. Bracing is fundimental on any vehicle and the Challenger is no exception. You will notice a big improvement handling and turn-in.

Project Challenger 8/4/08

As we continue our modification on the Challenger something became quit clear. We love power and the 6.1L motor is awesome. Paul being one of the first Diablosport dealers and tuners in the country he decided that we couldn’t wait any longer to install a Diablosport Predator. After the install you immediately notice a power increase along with much better shifting of the transmission. This won’t be the only power upgrade as we have a lot in the works for it. We have a Econo-Cold Air Kit on the car. It uses a special conical filter with a taper cone in the inside center , and also has an opening at the tip to increase air flow more to come….

Project Challenger 8/6/08

Ok so we had to keep uilding parts for the car. This time we decided to work on the rear brace. We decided to make a 4pt Rear brace for the car. Now we have the front and rear covered!

We are moving on to one of my favorite items… Sway bar end links, this little items make a big difference in handling on any car! With a simple turn of the adjuster you can add more swaybar front or rear.

Contact Razors Edge Motorsports for all of your Mopar Needs!   If you live in Florida, you gotta check out their outrageously clean shop!

 Exposure is our science and passion; let it work for you!

Do you already have a video?

 Let DDD help you get the most out of it!

Don’t have one?

We’ll make it happen!

Why is online video so important?

The short answer:  Today’s enthusiasts are spoiled, impatient, and want it now.

Gone are the days on aimlessly thumbing through a J.C. catalog, only to see static pictures of products that don’t necessarily fit your car.

Today’s gear heads are tech junkies.

All you have to do is hop on the internet and you can readily view videos of your exact car!

Millions have now gone to The DDD Directory, where catalogs of performance parts, videos, tech information, shops, online stores and a fully vehicle specific forum locator are all at your fingertips.

It’s important to allocate part of your advertising plans for online video for 3 simple reasons:

1.  It’s inexpensive to create and expose

2.  You can control and track the audience that views it

3.  Simply put, its very effective; especially if it’s “3rd party objective” and the consumer can relate to it.

Picture your video, all over the internet, with a trusted 3rd party showing exactly how it works.

There is no stronger salesperson than word of mouth, unless it’s accompanied by video!

What video projects are currently on the table and how can I get involved with my own?

DDD invites you to call during business hours (9-6 M-F E.S.T) or e-mail us anytime to ask about current projects, and how you can get involved.

Current Projects include “We Brake for Boost”, “Midnight Run” and several others in the works.

Midnight Run Project Details: 

In our most recent project, “Midnight Run”, we’re adding a Whipple blower, Stillen Brakes, JLT Cold Air Intake, MSD Fuel Pump Booster, Kooks Long Tube Headers, and other products to a triple black 2008 Ford GT500 convertible.

ModularFords.com is our partner in this project and it will receive heavy exposure on The DDD Directory.com, Modularfords.com and many other social networking sites.

Please direct all submissions to press@dddracing.com     We’re looking forward to another record-breaking year!

We had the pleasure of meeting with many manufacturers , shops and online stores again this year, and many faces are becoming familiar.  It’s nice to come to a trade show and get stopped by friends or total stangers who have heard about DDD and want to learn more or to give us stories about how DDD has worked for them.

For the manufacturers that took time out of their show to talk with us, thank you for asking questions and getting involved.  We aren’t just an “advertising company”, we’re here to help free up time for your internal resources and take the task of gaining you online exposure upon ourselves.

Many companies asked about our project and other complimentary services our clients enjoy, and with good reason: it saves time and money for the manufacturer.  If you’d like to build a project vehicle, let us make the phone calls to the shops, consumers and other stakeholders for you.  We’ll create a presentation and offer editorial for the project when it’s done.  This is a free service to DDD clients!  The Directory alone is already a massive value, but we feel any advertising company should also offer free services to benefit the way you do business.

We’d be honored to help you.
