Yea everything is correct. The tuned it to 7000 grand at first because they saw that was where I had my shift light set. Then asked if I wanted to take it higher than that, so of course I did. So they ran it up to 8000 a few times to tune it in. I think what your are seeing is the advantage of going full standalone. Also the turbo spools much louder now minus the afm. It will be a few more months before I take it back out to carb connection, to see how my last dyno at 10 psi compares to Ground Zero's 10 psi tune in. First I need to get it back down to GZ after March.

Thanks

Stock port motor, that is the truth. I can take you for a ride if you want, it definately pulls hard all the way to 8000 grand,

It really does. In fact, it feels like it will keep pulling.

1) knocking underboost? What apex seals are you running and how in gods name did they survive knocking a.k.a. pinging a.k.a. detonation?



2)race gas if fun for power but remember it WILL kill your bosche widemand sensor. better hope it's an unleaded race gas.

The power fc monitors the stock knock sensor, not quite pinging or detonating, its a good tuning tool. Thanks for the heads up on the race gas.

You know it is funny... I know a few people running leaded gas with a wideband. They claim that they have not experienced any shortened life of the sensor. Even more ironically in my LM1 handbood it clearly states that leaded gas should not be used. I tend to believe the innovate... However they also err on the side of caution just to make sure that their butts are covered.



Just thought it was interesting... and that I would bring it up... someone is lying... Just who is it?
