I know you all want to hear that the car is making crazy horsepower and pulls like a freight train but I'm afraid today wasn't my day. Got her down to the dyno and started tuning just fine until about 1.5 hours into the session. The ecu reset dumping most of our progress, losing the whole timing map and set us back at square one. The whole time we were running into wall after wall with the software (only coarse fuel adjustment, can't save the timing map that resets when you turn the car off, recalibrating tps and timing after every map save and load) so we called it after 2 hours and pushed the car back into the trailer. I'm going to make a few calls tomorrow and see what options I have but the ecu software and/or firmware has to change, or it will be replaced with the MS2 sitting next to me.
The take-aways from this excersize:
-tow rig and new trailer brake controller are awesome
-everything mechanical on the car was perfect and the oily header wrap finally stopped smoking
-once we (briefly) had a working map the motor sounded beautiful and revved very quickly
-very low vacuum (2-6 in/hg) at idle (1k-1.1k rpm) not sure if it's the cam or if there's a leak
-must add better tie down points to the bug
