B, just to let you know 503whp @ 9.5 psi. Not sure the full exact psi yet. Didn't want to photo bomb Rod's thread. I'll post dyno graph or other pics whenever Top Speed Motorsports releases it.
god i bet it feels amazing going from 290ish horsepower to 500.......
Going to need to softin up the rear coils. Lol I had them on full stiff and a diff bushing is shot now at just 260ish. Traction will be non-existent at 500 lol We'll see tomorrow.
Edit: scratch that. No-go tomorrow.

Compliments of forgetting that TCS was turned off, wet road, goosing the throttle in a tight left turn and my crap-*** driving ability. Back end kicked out quickly and spun me across the road and slid me into a muddy field. Then plenty of wheel spinning to get out of the field back onto the road:
Car has a ****-eating grin on its face (and consequently a chunk of **** hanging off the front lip):
Hit the bottom of the car with the hi-pressure spray the best that I could but I'm sure it's a mess under there now. I guess that exhaust system wasn't going to stay brand-new looking forever.
That's probably the best result you could have hoped for.
Yeah, I was lucky. No curbs or obstructions of any kind, just slid right into the mud. Pretty crazy how little grip I had once the rear end broke loose. It was almost like sliding on ice. I'm on fairly new Hankook V12 tires too, 275/35/19 in the rear.

I almost went the Hankook route to save money but decided against them since I am "stretching" smaller width tires. I figure since I'm choosing not to go the fat tire route then I should get tires that will grip to retain the sports car feel.

That was a good move. These felt about as slippery as the stock 18" RE040's. It occurs to me that this probably only the 3rd time I've driven the car in the rain since putting the tires on last year, so I really didn't have a good idea of how they would behave until tonight.
Dyno tuning was completed yesterday. Final number was 503whp @ 9.5 psi on the stock block. Here's how it sat on the dyno. TopSpeed Motorsports did an awesome job on the tuning.
