So I've been learning a lot about my car and it still amazes me the amount of work and effort that went into this car. The technology is amazing. I did a clutch relearn and readjusted my set points last week. Yesterday afternoon/evening the temps were around 90F so I decided to compare both maps on my car (14psi low boost and 17psi for high boost settings). Love the "live map switching'' feature and the knock warning. I was able to trap the 1/4 mile at ~130mph at ~10.5 seconds (best) on a private road that is marked off for 1/4 drag racing (no racing was taking place when I was there, I was the only car). That's with a passenger (was logging the car to make sure everything was good) and 1/2 tank... not too shabby for a car that is 3800 lbs. If I launch the car I know I can drop that time but I'm holding off on launching the car until I can beef up my tranny. No need to cause any unnecessary wear and tear.

I'm loving the GT-R. I'm already in talks with SP Engineering to take my power levels up to 750 whp.

I finally got the dyno print outs from the tuner. Not bad power to the wheels on a Mustang dyno. Now that the Arizona summer is over I can start running the higher boost map more for that little extra 'umffff' In the hot summer months and crap gas, I would get some knock at 6000+ rpms.
