    Is there a local dyno that you know will work with the WAR chip since it doesnt have live-tuning capability? I have thought about street tuning and dyno tuning with a WAR Chip a bit. It could definitely be done but it would take longer than a conventional standalone system.  Did you get the TCM with it? that should help quite a bit with tuning.

      Yes, the TCM is part of what I purchased. 

      Imagineering (pistons and cam) works directly with Brody at Miller so the maps I get to start should be very very close ... Dyno tune will be to verify afr and timing is correct. i have talked with a few different sources on this process including people that have gone through it and it looks like it should be pretty painless.

        Motronic 1.3 has a very good O2 feedback control system. I hope I can see your car and the interface sometime in the future.

                            These pics really do not do the bumper justice ... the metallic in it is just great ... It's not perfect but falls well within our 85% rule for this car.
