The starts haven't been smooth about 1/2 the time, with fluctuations in revs slight sputter in the first 2 seconds. Waiting to hear back from my shop, what ESS recommends. A re-flash didn't help.

Overall, the car feels like it has a small flat spot in power in between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm, but maybe my butt dyno is off. Will get it on a normal dyno soon. I didn't notice any big difference in the pre-200 mile drives, post 200, and re-flash second time. Same power level, very dependant on ambient temps. Traction control kicks in top of 3rd gear, but my tires are old.

The car also pulls to the sides under heavy power with traction off, partially because of the limited slip diff doing its thing, but I think new rear control arm bushings will help things. I ordered the Rogue black RTABs, and new oem fronts since I didn't find a streetable quiet upgrade solution for the fronts.

My boost gauge is out of the car, I need to ship it to the manufacturer to re-fresh the rubber buttons.

84k miles on the car!
