This is one of those days when things couldn't have gone better. Very happy. Since I'm right by Tampa, I went down to XAT for a dyno tune. We did a bunch of dynos, reworked all the maps. Gained between 10 and 25whp EVERYWHERE, not even one spot where the old line and the new line overlapped. I now realize, I didn't check the torque curve, it wasn't turned on to show on the screen, but I can calculate it out, or just call them. The Peak hp was 254.91whp. Not only that, we did 3 final runs and the curves overlapped, talk about consistent.

Few little bugs we had. I noticed about half way through the session that one of my motor mounts snapped, turns out it was probably like that for some time, prolly did it at the track a few weeks ago. Never noticed, the other 3 mounts are solid mounts and are holding the engine in fine. I'm going to see if I can't get a stronger piece. I also noticed that one of my CV boots is torn, prolly from some road debris, no matter, it's under warranty.

Here's the results:

3 Final runs:


Finally, some automotive ****. Turn up those speakers:
