Btw here it's a picture of the minor glitch
Also the A/F is flat as a board baby! John's stuff is incredible right out of the box. And then ST made it even better dude.

You guys should know - the Maf on Rolex's car is calibrated for a HUUUUGE amount of HP. The Motronic has more than enough resolution to handle it with the SMT6. When I say BIIIG power, I mean it.
This, coupled with a perfect idle and 83 LB. injectors, wasted spark and a VERY sophisticated knock/retard system - keep your Motronics, guys.

Nordschleife Master
17 pages and no pics?? (talking real pics here..)
On a hyped project such as this I demand pictures, videoclips, sounds clips, 3d images, CAD-drawings etc.etc.

Dyno Time Soon
Just got off of the phone with Special Tool. As of right now, we have a green light to hit the dyno this coming Tuesday.
He put his cel phone on while he started the car. He wanted me to hear how the idle sounded and when he revved the engine too. The idle sounded perfect! And when he mashed his foot on the peddle, the engine was more responsive than I ever heard it! He did it a few times and I couldn't believe how responsive it sounded!!
I can't wait for the weekend to be over already.

Sounds like fun though, more fun than Rolex's low tech thread. What a pile this tread is, not one pic of the car or the car being worked on etc.. crap!
