Thanks for posting these up. It's great to see new options for FI being worked on. I hoped you get the tuning aspects sorted soon! (Then again, that's the bear everyone is fighting with the turbo applications for this motor/ECU).

what wheel/tyre setup are you running, interesting to note you get not 1 bit of wheelspin even with all that power!! i guess your super warm climate helps with traction, but damn that in itself is impressive!!

are you on slicks??

Sav has made power from top to reduce wheel spin. And I went smooth on the power otherwise I will sit spinning!

OMG!!!! That's one F** in quick car. Interesting you didn't get much wheel spin, which probably makes sense as most power will be at the top end...

Thanks for sharing with us...
