Thanks man! After I pulled out it felt like it had a slight miss under acceleration and really sluggish. I thought I could feel a bit of a vibration but I don't know if that was because of my hightened state of paranoia lol

Believe me, its just paranoia. My car felt the same way after it put down 540 rwhp. When you actually see the numbers, you realize that you have HIGHLY modified your car, and your 1st inclination is.... When is the mother f**ker gonna break.

BTW, nice numbers. Nothing to be dissapointed about. The AF looks good (i assume that boosted cars prefer to run a little rich). Enjoy it man, its a stout car.

the biggest thing i'm concerned about is the fact that it felt way faster before but the last few days seems like it has been sluggish.

Nice numbers. Maybe it feels sluggish due to humidity..?

well if it feels like its missing or sluggish, check out the spark plugs and some filters. Im sure its something minor if your car is still putting down number like that. Good numbers though.

Then thats part of the problem AFR is way too rich and I bet it has little to no timing in it. Kiss your plugs good by and your O2s. Get that thing tuned on the street or dyno and it will ripp!

I agree, your plugs are probably shot and your front 02's are also doomed to failure. Lean it out to 11.5/1 at 5000 rpm and above and timing in this range should be somewhere around 18 degrees. Bob

A tune is in the works, i'm going to bu a some meth injection soon and swap to a smaller pulley and get a real tune.

I did hear some good news, alot of the local guys I have been talking to said that dyno has been giving screwy numbers and acting up the last few weeks. A new shop is opening up soon with a dynojet so i'll have to hit them up I think.

What size pulleys are you using?

I could probably make 450rwhp with an M6 with no blower at all on a dynojet, you are way down on power.. Unless the dyno is really flakey, at least whatever tune it is is safe. But you really need to get the car to someone who can spend some time on the dyno and make sure the tune is good.
