LOL - sh*t boys - I gotta work during the day, dontcha know?


Problem 1: bad Unichip (unheard of occurence according to the shop) - was promptly replaced and tuned without incident.

Problem 2: mislabeled injector harness - was showing too lean on one bank and too rich on the other (again another unheard of occurence).

Both APS and DynoComp were awesome in getting the problem resolved quickly

I wasn't there for the diagnosis, but thru trial and error (?) they swapped out the Unichip with another one they had avail - concerns resolved. I believe that APS promptly sent a replacement to the shop, which was then installed and tuned

getting re-dyno'd again on Sunday for a Benefit Dyno Day, but last # pulled was 368rwhp/380tq on stock exhaust - trying to save my pennies for an APS exhaust at the present time...

You are REALLY lucky you didn't pop your motor...that thing had to be detonating like a bastard.

Didnt hear anything - but was running TERRIBLE at first: stalling, bucking, inconsistent idle. My OBDII reader was going nuts - new codes every couple of minutes, woudl reset and have them come right back.

Common sense told me not to beat the **** out of it till something could be diagnosed.

Everyone should have an OBDII reader at their dispose, btw.

I'm just happy the problem was discovered and resolved

I'm assuming that's the out of the box tune? If untuned, that's pretty awesome for stock exhaust. Does your boost hold till redline?

edit: DEERRRR, NM! I just read that you are tuned. Still, great numbers with the stocky on there.
