Not sure the real reason for the graph mishap. But it really isn't a huge deal to me as Chris technically didn't get to finish the tune that day. So, I am guessing thatnot finishing mine, that Kevins was the last saved vehicle to run on teh dyno. The After me was Vegas. I am not overly concerned, as Chris was not going to be real aggressive on the tune. Oh well, I will get it sorted out at some point.
Well if you wanna really go that far back...I wanted to slap the doctor back when I was born..and go home...
Wait...what!!??
Ya..I deff need to leave..
On a plus note, a buddy of mine here (salesman) just got rid of his 04 350Z touring...for a pretty damn clean 05 electric blue Evo 8...only has an exhaust...and only has 20k miles
. And he is already loving it..told him he should have just started with the Evo to begin with 
. Now I have someone to buy my hand-me-downs this winter..

I wanted to go to it, considering I live near the guy, but too much stuff this weekend, including a timing belt job on my friend's car.
Hope you guys have fun, post up some tips!!
KGHtheII I want to see your car! I'm yet to see a WW evo x...

If you live near the guy, just stop by tomorrow, you can see it then. You dont have to stay.
you gotta keep an eye on that thing! with no miles on it, you don't want someone else performing the hard break in procedure for you.
have you read the break in procedure? ie: your not supposed to cruise at the same RPMs you want them fluctuating and you want to be constantly getting in and out of boost to seat the rings properly?

There is actually a way of breaking in motors within very little milage, I have talked to AMS, DEVO, and a few different engine builders and they all have the same feeling. How do you think they tune these big hp drag motors? they surely aren't bringing then on the street for 500 miles.
if you are interested in a great way to break in the motor. try this on a new motor...
Dan (fimotorsports) told me about this a few years ago and he obviously has had some great motors in his evos.
Go onto a quiet road or dyno and go down to 10-15mph in 3rd gear. Bring the car slowly from what ever the rpm is at 15mph to 6000rpm and then just let off the gas and let the car come back to 10-15mph again without hitting the brakes. Repeat this step approx 3 times.
From then drive the car at your leisure. some take it nice and easy while others will go right to tuning the car on the dyno and/or road.
I too would like to get a dyno graph of my car. When Chris tuned my car, it was under Kevins car info, not mine, and DSG can not retrieve it. So, I would be in for running it some day before getting retuned after my mishap with the boost leak during the tune. Now that the leak has been sorted out, I really want to have the tune finalized/finished.
