Tuning is off. This was the mail order tune from PCM4LESS that was basically a guess, and it is real rich, when up into the higher RPMs it was blowing black smoke like a deisel. The A/F wasn't even showing on his meter( only goes to 10.1), Matt said he'd guess from the amount of smoke I was probably 7.1 or 8.1, like I said, way rich.

This was the first time the engine had been held at WOT. First pull was 428HP/417 TRQ, second pull was 458HP, 445 Trq, so maybe the Computer was learning 100% throttle as well but it jumped 30/30 right away? But on the second pull it starting puddling oil under the car and smoking, turned out the dipstick tube I had to customize to clear the sprayed main caps isn't seated very well and the oil was spraying out onto the headers.

My main goal was just to make sure the car wasn't running out of fuel, it aint doing that! Once I get the oil leak fixed I'll take it to Numidia and dial out/ remove the FMU. Alvin said I probably won't need it, but I left it on to be safe. I'd rather be way rich then lean.

I'm not sure how much boost the SC is making, might be some belt slip, dryer hose collaping, or maybe it's just max'd out? We did pulls to 6000 RPMs, and the chart shows the car pulling from 3000 to about 5600 in a straight line, then it starts to fall off.

Not sure how being that rich will kill HP?
