I ended up sending my ECU back to Technosquare in hopes to lean out as a band aid until I can get back up to you guys so ya'll can tune this emanage.

But put it back in today and it is still booty

Also Sharif I might be picking up some more stuff before this tune, so it should be more interesting

Great...Eric and I buttoned it up and delivered it yesterday. The power is reallyi seamless, and the car runs very quietly...even with an ATS Carbon twin disc clutch.

Without any tuning, and just test pipes, and a stock exhuast, it put down 355whp, with only 7psi of peak boost, and 5.5psi towards redline. With an eftermarket exhuast and some tuning, it should be close to 400whp at 8psi or so.

NOICE, I was reading about this "peaking" in APS boost... I guess it is common with their internal wastegate.

The APS kit, with its internal wastegates, does seem to be more sensative to back pressure. I havent noticed boost variances with the Greddy kit, depending on backpressure mods.

The APS program is also designed to taper boost off after the trq peak, in order to maximimze engine longevity. So the first thing the tuner will do is flatten out the boost curve, and that is where a good deal of WHP comes in. I just wish the Unichip tuning investment wasnt a few thousand dollars.

Oh I see, so in order to be able to tune the Unichip you have to spend a few thousand dollars? Or are you saying that in general tuning will cost that?

Yes, they require you to purchase a license for the software, and the hardware, and then fly out for a couple days of training.

Man I'm getting so stoked. Heading up to CPRacing tomorrow morning for the Vortech install!

After seeing that above dyno break 400rwhp, I sure hope Matt has a few of those 3.12 pulleys (and corresponding GATES belts) in stock!

That was my G35 with the APS TT. Thanks to Sharif and CPRacing for a great job on my car. I still can't believe how fast it is.
Now somebody put a fire under HKS, so I can feed my new addiction!
