I dont think they were turned off in the org tune so there is still something wrong.

Numbers:

310 HP, 320 TQ

This is with the Charge Motion plates NOT opening through the entire RPM range. I stood on the dyno during the 2nd pull and watched them not open.

They were turned off from the very beginning and it got 390 HP last time because of the spiking to close to 14 psi. Now it was right at 10psi. I don't think they were turned off in the VERY original tune, but they have been turned off in every custom tune.

The new tune is in.

Last night driving home, it was raining and I went to pass a car on the Turnpike. I downshifted from 5th to 4th and accelerated. Right next to the car I was passing, around 5500 RPM, the rearend of the car flew to the right as I lost traction. The car straightened itself (either by my doing, traction control, or a combination of both) almost instantly.

It was stupid of me to pass the car in the rain like that, but Scott did tell me to be careful now since the car would be a lot different - and it is!

I'll be meeting with Scott to get it re-dyno'd soon to get some accurate numbers.

Thanks!

Scott (the tuner) and Justin (the dyno owner) are both surprised it got such high HP numbers with all the plates completely closed and never opening. I can't wait to see what it does now that the plates are opening!

I doubt you'll need a dyno to tell you you have another 100 hp.

True but it is good to verify the "butt dyno"

Tom, haven't heard anything from you. You're eyeballs should be just now returning to their sockets if the charge motion plates gave you your missing 150 lbs.ft. of torque.
