Alan, looks like we found your problem with sharktuning. It appears that when you were plugging the sharktuner cable into your car, you bent one of the pins back and up. Not for sure, but I'd bet that's it, as Sean says he has seen this before.

Wow sorry about that. Those pins should have a shoulder on them to prevent them from getting pushed up or bent easily. Usually takes a pin extractor tool to get them to move.

Anyhow hopefully that is the case and we can reschedule the dyno. Call me when you have a moment.

Thanks.

Roger shipped the ST connector out today for you, it was in my car. I wondered why it was pulled out of the glove box only to find out mine was still in there.

There are 9 or 20 small pins, I've bent them a few times plugging in the ST when I held the connector at an odd angle. It's easy to do so don't sweat it. One of them was pushed to the side and moved a bit down, I used a pick and straightened it out.

Hopefully dyno within the next 2 weeks. Trying to get my time, Victor's time and the dyno shop to line up has been a challenge. Did some more tuning via sharktuner today with Victor and it runs even better now.
Runs exceptionally strong and breaks the big wheels loose easily. Stand still or at speed the car can get sideways and the PSD kicks in nicely. Very controllable chaos

any videos?
I would suggest that you consolidate all of the threads you have started about this car so its easier to find out the info about all of the mods and other upgrades.

Ask a moderator to do this.

NOTE IMHO starting a new thread on every change you make dilutes the various aspects of your work
