All in all, everything turned out good. Only complain was the weather, rain, sun, rain, sun... couldn't make up its mind. Nice meeting everyone.

Though some pics are already posted, here a link to the ones I took.

haven't tried a hard pull yet. im pretty paranoid about my car as it's my only car so i think i'll wait till i change the trans fluid till i make any more hard pulls up to 7 again. anyhow don't worry about it. you had a lot going on. i was just hanging out after all. if you come back to town before i make it up there, bring me some 6 speed bushings/torque dampener

I think mine is back to normal now, but I still have to drive a little more to be sure, so i'll get back to yall on that. What we did was reflash the idle settings back to stock n unplug the battery for 15 mins to reset it. I'll let yall know if that works for me.

KevinD, i'm stilll waiting on my graph overlay.

thats weird cause i didn't touch ahmads idle at all. because he is still on stock cams, the car idled just fine. i need to figure out why it is doing that and find a solution to it. i've already been looking as other people on the forum have had this issue before with cosworth cams.

edit* i'll have the graphs up tonight, and ahmad, i'll email you the settings tonight as well.

The problem seems to be fixed for the most part. It's still happening when boost is building at around 3k rpm. Doesn't seem to be happening if I shift at 2-2.5k rpm or above 4k. whereas it was happening everytime before.

Is Ahmad also boosting 23.5psi?

i found this... it is a 20 page thread with 300 posts and 14,000 views. apparently it is a very widespread problem happening in all years/makes and models, tuned, untuned, and even brand new.

this is justins tune. the benchmark numbers are the after tune results, and the other numbers are the before tune. i did it backwards when i made the plots, but you get the point. the final results were duplicated again on sunday when we were trying to see why it had the idle hang.

Wish there was more time, would have like to try less boost with more timing, to see which my car responds better to. More boost, less timing, or less boost, more timing.
