Ok heres something to ponder on a couple more days...

Finally got my ECU back (second time) from MHP this morning. It was a little late coming back so I missed the dyno and track time i had lined up, yesterday. Not too big since MIR is this next week. I rescheduled dyno time for monday morning so gonna have to wait til sometime later for any real numbers. Cant find a shop open right now with dyno locally.
I am not gonna give any speculation regarding what the tune feels like at the moment.
Will let the numbers speak for themselves.

...to be continued...

They had a delay or two. Not really sure of the exact circumstances, but according to what i was told my ECU kept reverting to the previous tune, thats why before I saw very little gains. TCu took no problem, but ECU settings wouldnt save. DKasper had to spend an extra couple days with my ecu to make sure the settings kept. thats really all I know.
So since they had it longer I couldnt get to track and missed it all.
What i will say is I walked a pretty new carrera 4 from 20-100 by a car length earlier this evening. Feels like the settings took this time. Will know better once i see the numbers.
I am gonna hit the dyno monday morning to should be able to post more info then and let the numbers speak for themselves.

it was black P car and was dark, no street lights. It was tough to read cause he had the lettering blacked out. So couldnt tell wether C4 or C4S. I do recall seeing what looked to be stock quad exhaust mufflers on it. They werent all spiffy like aftermarket ones tend to be.
Well whatever he was we were neck and neck til about 70 and i just started pulling away from him. Was a bad place to race so at 100 when i was a length ahead I let off, he knew I had pulled hard on him and that was it. He didnt even pull up next to me after that, kept his distance behind me.
Yeah I dont mind doing testing, just hate when some things are out of my control. WOuld have really liked to hit the track before 11/15 but I guess dyno will do.
