I'm not sure if there's enough time for a major undertaking like that on such short notice, guys. I know most of the other guys with wife and kids are already on their way somewhere else out of town. A parking lot meet would be doable, but a drive to Whistler...that's beyond me this time.

Let's plan it for a little bit later. Besides, the Sea-to-Sky is still a bit of a mess.

Thanks.

I think he ordered the Flintstone package, which has the floorpan deletion, allowing him to put his feet down on the ground for extra pedalling power.

Sorry about kidding around. As far as I know, J's LP560-4 is completely stock.

We were all scratching our heads last night at No. 9 as well.

Spoke to my tuner about this, and he is coming up to Vancouver tommorrow from Seattle and datalog the car. He suspects I could have loaded up the wrong file onto my car and running the car with stock file instead of performace file, but we will know soon.

LOL funny thing is, if you didn't come out last night, you would have prob drove the car for years thinking it was the right map tune.

That is so right because it was not like the car is not pulling. And I believe I probably screw up when I was playing with the OBD mappings when I got it back last week. Well, we shall see tommorrow. Nice run by the way.
