Your worst nightmare...
I had close to 15 guys just waiting for the results, everyone was amazed. We called Marcin ( speedriven) last night because she is running too rich right now and misfires at higher rpm's, I will be sending ECU out probably this week for another file. I wanted to have a video today at day time but guess what... Rain for the next 7 days. As soon as it's dry, I will post a new video.

I just came from driving her...LOL..sorry to torture you guys, but I am in complete AWE. She pulls like there is no tomorrow, that is until 5-6K RPM's ...she misfires and shuts down a few cyl.
From 2.5-5K rpms...the rear end wants to come off..
, I swear you will not believe me but we hit only 15 lbs of boost...
The A/F ratio hit below 9 after 4-5K rpms....she is rich as a pig. I apologize for no videos as we just jumped on the freeway as a spur of the moment thing. As soon as I can Videos will be up. It's a promise.

Thank you gents. I honestly cant sleep sometimes at night from the excitement. Yesterday we shipped ECU & TCU to Speedriven to fix the A/F ratios a little bit more and lift torque limiters. They come back next week, as soon as rain stops you shall have your videos.

Holly Smack! Talk about a blast from Ancient history. How about this, as always I will let you make a pass yourself when I hit MIR, that is if Ahmad does not retire from making rentals.
It is completely done, a dream come true. Thanks for the IC's bro!!
How has it been? Hope all is well man.

No dyno numbers yet, Marcin will either fly in or I will go to Chicago in a week or so for tuning. She ha a base file but is running extremely rich.
