I just switched to SD... Before I had occasional surge/flutter and often freaky/stumbling idle @ the light. The car seems to run a lot smoother now.

From Last Tuesday with SD and crushed stock DV.

Thanks, it's really worth it. It also makes the car a lot more enjoyable to drive on the street, similar to OEM driveability. Beside getting rid of the occasional flutter, it has smoother on/off throttle response....... no more "jumpiness". Plus you can vent to atmosphere and get that Wooosh sound

Yes and no. When the car was on the dyno doing the final couple of pulls, I jokingly said to the tuner "how come I didn't see flames out of the exhaust", He said "we can easily make it do that"

From looking @ the timing and fuel maps, it appears that he took me seriously I realized that after a few Porsche drivers kept coming over and asking me about the flames and "what was done to the car".... that's why I mounted the camera in the back, just to see what they're talking about.

Had mine tuned the same way. Loved running with the PCA and have Porsche guys track me down in the paddock to chat up the car lol.

I'll be SD for the first time at NASA this weekend, running the GReddy BOV that has few fans. I have noticed that the car starts easier and idles better, however when I put slight load on it, like to load it on the trailer, I have to give it a little extra gas or it will stall. If it drives better on track, it's a small price to pay!

Have you checked your low and mid fuel trims? Sounds like it's going slightly lean at initial take off, which is a common SD thing, but it can be remedied.

Do you have video of using 4th through turn 1-4? I'd like to see the positive/negatives of that option. As a lot of people mentioned her before, Evo IX BOV is a great option. When we were MAF (switched to AEM EMS) we loved our IX BOV and ran it up to 30 psi without crushing.
