PK,

As far as instrumentation goes you may want to add a GPS logger or G-timer to get some real world acceleration curves coming out of turns and down the straights. They can match up to the other telemetry data from the car. You may want to talk to Richard at Clewett Engineering in LA. He specializes in engine mgmt. systems for Porsche racing teams. He has more experience with tuning FI Porsche motors than anyone I know. He is far more comfortable at the ragged edge of performance and reliability than I am.

Gary's car is posting some good numbers. 11k miles with a 270hp+/- turbo may be a new record for a 2.5 motor. It's an accomplishment to be proud of. Still a long long way to go to see 200hp/liter though. Now that would really defy conventional wisdom. One step at a time.
