.............. apparently Andy's launch was so violent that it ripped the asphalt apart

Stage 2 TCU tuning took the car to another level (yes, MHP stepped it up a notch).

Here's a LIVE picture from the track.....

no chance of pickup 4/10ths at the track with just modifying the tcu on these cars....

are there dyno resuts yet?

If we're worried about what other gears people dyno at, just dyno all the gears, only takes a few extra minutes....

Interesting read thus far. Even more interesting is the concept of syncing the ECU and TCU to work together. I, among quite a few here, await the results with eager curiosity.
