Doug will be back in Tampa at the end of this month (21st or something) and we will continue on the dyno then. No sense in trailering the car up to his shop when he will be here in just over 2 weeks.
In the mean time we have been fine tuning other aspects of the car (corner balancing, alignments, etc) and double/triple/quadruple checking everything else.
We will keep you posted!

We still have 1 more week till Doug comes down.
Car is running great, as it was before. Since we changed to 15lb wastegate springs and the pump tune was set for 12lbs, I am not putting it through hard accelorations right now, only lots of miles.
After we finished re-corner balancing the car we tried some new alignment settings like a little more toe out in the front than we had, a little more toe in at the rear than we had previously and a tad bit more camber all the way around. The car is hugging the ground better than ever. So much better that I have stopped pushing it on public streets and will wait till we do a test & tune at the track. It's the only way to really "test" how much grip has increased since a public road is not a maintained race track, it has sand, oil, etc.
At any rate, updates on power will be coming very soon and right after, S&R is hosting their legendary poker run, so it will be a day of actually having fun with the car! Anyone in the area should sign up!

Doug's trip got backed up because our AWD dyno is acting up so he'll be coming down in the coming weeks once it gets back from service.
