I'm very excited too. The plan is to max it out on 93 octane first. I expect a little bump in power over the previous mods but nothing too drastic. What I had before wasn't a bad setup, it's just that I wanted the ability to safely run more boost.

I think it should be close by then but it's not uncommon for me to go through 100+ revisions to the tune until I call it done when I make a turbo/cam change in the past.

You're also very welcome! We're glad to help out and we appreciate your continued support. I like seeing the car progress through the stages you've put it through.
Im looking forward to seeing another BR 9sec Evo sometime soon.  |
I have some attainable goals setup for myself. stock ecu/mas, 10.99 @ 130+ on 93 octane. I think I could have done that on the previous setup but I didn't want to wear my new tilton clutch out prematurely. After I've maxed out the pump gas tune I'll start working on the c16 tune and see what the limit of the stock ecu/mas is. If I'm nowhere near the power I should be then I'll consider installing the AEM EMS unit I have sitting here and start getting familiar with that setup.

hey jospeh I'm not sure I follow... "are yougoing to cruising at all?" is that an event I should know about? I'm sure the GSC S2 will work well too but I can't ignore how successful the BR guys are with the BF272 so that made my choice simple.

it took the stock ecu awhile to figure out how to idle with the same settings I used for the HKS 280's but it's pretty much got it figured out now. The only sticking point is with AC on, it refuses to idle currently but I haven't made any adjustments at all to compensate. I literally fixed a bunch of boost leaks, did one WOT pull to check the AFR vs knock, added fuel and drove to work this morning.
I'm going to try to bust ass this afternoon and catch up on my tuning work so I can go out tonight and spend a solid 4-5 hours dialing in the tune and see what DLL shows vs the previous setup. It'll be interesting to see what the difference in power is with the same afr/boost but I think it's going to allow a little more timing based on what I saw last night. I can't believe it didn't cry about knock at 30psi o n 93 octane at 12.3 AFR...that impressed the hell out of me and suggests that the VE has been improved considerably and maybe there were some nasty casting flaws in the head that were causing hot spots. I'll fatten it up a bit and add a degree of timing at a time and see how it feels. I know previously on c16 I was able to add 4* of timing over the pump gas map at 30psi and DLL shot up from 500 to 565awhp so there's potential for sure with the stock ecu/mas.
