So what's physically changed with your car? Was it the flash tune?
Nope. It was my dumbass fault. When I was installing inlets, I tried tightening the wastegate rod to eliminate the rattling. After seeing the poor performance, I wondered if I loosened it instead. I got under the car and beat the shit out of my arms to spin the rod the other way. Sure enough I actually loosened the rod the first time around. Now that it's tightened back up, the car hauls ass.

live and learn but I'm not surprised at all - I've never really had to adjust the actuator rod but from what I read it's super sensitive. Glad you got it fixed in time for NFZ ! in 4 vidz

Whipped up a custom kill tune for a glory run on the dyno and if I need the edge during a street race. I can switch to this map with a press of a button on the steering wheel. Targets 23psi with a slight taper to redline. Probably room for a little more, but I don't want to push the limits (I already am, LOL).
Also took a picture of my car while I was out.

What does your timing look like?
-
that's gross, in a good way. Are you still getting on the dyno before NFZ?? You should just run at 23 target all the time so your turbos burn out faster and you have a good reason to upgrade

Overall, I think it'll be fine for a dyno run or if I need it. Timing is pretty good overall. A few drops map 6, but I think it might be sensing false knock.

Yup, dyno tomorrow. I'll see what it puts down on my custom map, but I'm going to dyno on map 7 as well. That's the map I plan on running most of the time. Not trying to blow these up. Besides the rattle, they seem to be holding up just fine!

Car spun tire in 4th gear on the dyno. Couldn't get an accurate reading (IMO) because of it. Made 433whp/420wtq.
Mounting new tires this week and hitting up a different DynoJet on Friday.

What tires are you currently running and what are the new ones you are putting on? Lol, currently have some Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 (all-seasons) with barely any tread left. Putting on some brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sports (PSS).
It made 497wtq on the first run before the guy let off because it was spinning.

yep that makes a lot of sense lol. where are you dyno'ing on Friday? Are you going to be in MKE still on your way to NFZ? If you are dyno'ing nearby maybe I can stop out. I will be downtown.

I contacted Late Model Throttle and they said they'd do it, just waiting to hear back about availability. I will be staying in Milwaukee Wednesday and Thursday night. Would probably dyno on Friday our way to NFZ. If you'd like to stop by, I can give you the time if LMT has an open slot.

sweet if they can get you in let me know what time. I have a lunch appointment but otherwise should be open to make a stop in. I won't be ready to dyno yet I don't think, probably next week. Adjustments still being made to map 6. It may get sorted this week still but probably not going to know in time to be able to get on the dyno by friday. ;/

Just got a message back form LMT. They said they're booked this week
I'm pestering them to open a 30-45 minute spot. I only want to go there because I'll be in town that day and have the whole day off. We'll see if they can accommodate.
I look forward to seeing your car and comparing the two!

Message Jesse Riggle on Facebook. He may be able to help you out. He's the tuner there and is often there after hours.
Just sent him a message. We'll see what he says. Thanks for the heads up

if that doesn't work you could always see if King Motorsports has space. That's usually where I go. They have an inground DynoJet.

Wasn't able to make it to any other dynos, but I'll just leave this here. The car was spinning tire the whole time, but still made decent numbers. It made 500+ wtq on the first run but it spun so bad that they shut it down. After that, they eased into it and didn't get the numbers I was hoping for. Two of my friends were at the dyno and with me at the 1/2 mile NFZ event this weekend. We're all confident it's a 500+ car. NFZ videos coming up soon... it was a blast!

I'm surprised you posted that pic.....that shop is hated by most here.
I know your M5 was there for a long time. What're your thoughts on Beyond Redline?
I wasn't overly thrilled by their dyno techs. The guy didn't know how to turn off traction control and they were going to dyno it in the wrong gear. I can see in the logs that they didn't flat foot it and eased into things. Overall, disappointed. I'd like to get different results from LMT or King, but it's a drive.
