This'll be interesting. Who did the 3.9?

So did you hit the dyno Ryan?

As I understand it, if you have a SW 3.9, it is enlarged from a 3.6 by increasing the bore only, not stroking the engine as in their 4.1 engine. Am I mistaken on this? Looking forward to seeing how this thread progresses.

No. Every time I schedule the appointment it friggin rains. Usually not a big deal, but I am on Toyo R888R, and they can be pretty spooky on a wet freeway. Re-scheduled for next Tuesday. Rain in the forecast already. haha

Mods please delete, I will create a separate thread for this rather than take thread semi-off topic.

(This forum really needs a delete post option.)

I have been caught in the rain in my Viper on R888s, and there was zero drama. I was actually pretty impressed. Can't imagine it's that dicey in a GT3.

So im not planning on documenting the results, but......

I just installed the tune and only drove about 30 miles so its still adapting. The first thing i noticed was the smell smelled so clean. The low end felt smoother with less dips, but the most noticeable difference was 7k and up. The top end just felt exhilerating all the way to redline. Thats it for now
