I understand how you probably want to drive this thing off a cliff, but you'll probably be more upset if you sell it.

Perhaps the most aggravating thing is how you thought it was going to be right from the beginning, and now you have to go back and mess with it more! But unfortunately, that can be part of the game. Heck, it seems I have to do everything twice... at LEAST twice!

But the payoff is when it all comes together.

Don't overlook the basics, too. Triple check everything. I've personally seen a C5 Corvette with a Vortech pick up 65 HP (yes, 65!) just by letting it cool, changing to cheap NGK plugs over platinums, and adding a few degrees of timing.

Saw the same thing happen at a tune session with the SN65 Mustang. Temp, plugs, and timing added a big jump.

Seeing that this is all chassis dyno, how's the clutch?

You are getting some great advice from some real experts here - hang in there, and you'll be rewarded when you figure it out. And not to sound like a d***, but if you do have to sell it, you'll get more $ with a bigger dyno sheet!
