Technical data on "flashes"

Wouldn't it be great if some of these people who profess to be "tuners" who hack around with the software codes to get you spiffy graphs on a chassis dyno run or an amazing 60-130mph time actually produced this sort of data for a full load 0-300kph run using their wares ?
Unfortunately this isn't going to happen, people with tuned cars who have paid their dosh don't generally like to see that in fact what they have paid good money would in fact be an embarrasment to a Porsche engineer. We will keep trying tho'

This fact makes some us feel more satisfied with our lower claimed output numbers..

It is a loopy old world, I am taking delivery of a set of Carrillo rods tomorrow for my 7GT2 which engine dynoed at 827NM after being warned that they were experiencing a number of failures at this level after the engines had been "used" a while - then I read that certain "tuners" are running 1050NM on stock rods...... it is a difficult jungle out there for punters that's for sure

ZeroH.. You might be running out of injector and NOT even know it.. More importantly you could have a fuel pump/internal fuel line rupture and not even know it.
13's aren't good.
Borrow a Durametric or buy one and I will send you some screenshots for the values to log.

Chris, I'm sure with standard programming the data would be pretty ?

I'll be returning back to the airfield with Toby in the near future so will have durametrics for then. Any screenshots sent to my PM would be great.
If my injector duty cycle is too high then presumably a 5bar fpr will be the answer ?
Thx again

Can you find out what SMR is doing in their flash? Cant believe it passed the GT2.

So would I, it would be fascinating......
Hoping to get similar logs in a few weeks for a Proto 996tt monster, a 544PS Cargraphic/RS 997tt and a stock tt....... mine won't be there as I am having rods fitted, apparently two RS cars have have bad failures at my level of tune......

What's involved with rod install?
And now the sick part....do the turn up the boost thru the mid-range?

You would think that the 635PS+ would be quicker than that?

As another data point, here is the timing map from a US car (997) running hard on 93 octane (R+M)/2 in the Texas heat:
...and a qualitative data point from a 996 guy:
"Been having heat soak problems on the track. Have flash. After a few laps ECU starts pulling car back. I end up with faster times in the long run without flash. Switched to stock airbox from open design. No difference. Put in 100 octane and car became consistent and fast. Most importantly, consistent."
...despite your multiple bannings on the 6, it appears the data is in your favor Toby
