Here we go... FI and first SES light. Comments please.
It's about 0.3-0.5 higher than normal worst case. Normally, if I'm under boost around 3500-5000 rpms it's low/mid 11's and above 5000 it begins dropping to 11.2 then finally 10.8 near redline. When it was 50 degrees the last few mornings I'd see 11.0 at WOT/redline and 11.4/11.6 in the 3500-5000rpm range. Also, I'm told I'm pulling 6 degrees of timing, but I'm not sure if this is gradual, or if it varies at different rpms. Maybe someone from CP Racing could chime in...
This morning the temp. was ~65 degrees Farenheit (no where near as cold as it has been lately) and I was just cruising along in 5th gear at ~50mph when the light came on.

Then you code is a random/strange occurrence and nothing to worry about. But knowing you Todd, you still will, lol. Your AF's sound good and the typical good work Sharif and CPRace normally produce. Talk to you soon(Friday, at the track).

All cars will do the flashing ses light thing it means "danger to catalyst" and normally throws when an ignition coil blows becasue then the car is dumping gas into the cat and destroying it. But yea flashing ses is a definat sign to pull over i mean it wont kill the car the worst thing that will happen is you will light the cats off. Althoguh its kinda cool to see a red glow coming out from under the car at night lol j/k
Its probably the flywheel doing it and throwing a p0300 code (Random missfire) becasue the crank angle sensor is used to detect missfires by the speed at which the crank rotates becasue remember for one full revolution of the crank it accelerates and decelerates 6 times each one accel each cylinderfiring now the com knows the timing on this and with a light flywheel this all happens faster making the computer have a F*cking heart attack lol

BTW, I wouldn't flog on my car if I even had a hint that something was wrong. See you guys at the first part of next year for some more goodies.
All good. Unfortunately, with FI, its not uncommon to see check engine lights. Random cylinder misfire is pretty common, and nothing to worry about in most cases..assuming the car is properly tuned. Best of luck! 
Oh, and if you check the boards, lightened flywheels are known triggers of the random cylinder misfire. The random misfire code is trigger by the crank angle sensor....FYI.
