Seriously, it does pull stronger than before and the sound is glorious.. Dark low tone when cruising and angry GT3-ish when stepping on it at high revs. And there is no drone.

Tomorrow I will take a look at the emergency brake, or rather whatīs left of it. Then hopefully I can finally get this season started. :dance:
Robert, I am curious. Did your tuner share with you exactly what he did and how he did it? How did he measure performance gains (dyno, street runs)? How did he dial in adjustments? What are your knock sensors (if still enabled) telling you about the setup? Do you have any EGT measurements? Any AFR measurements?

Curious minds want to know!

Also, did you wind up going with the colder dial plugs? (I think that was you who mentioned that, right??
