So this (highly) modded XJR was on the dyno at the time, and it flat lined at exactly 600nm at the wheels?

Or...? What was it making to the wheels at the point of flat-line and what sort of dyno?

True, but once you go as far as swapping power adders and bolting on an extra few hundred hp, obviously a somewhat generic tune for mostly bolt-on applications won't necessarily cut it.

I mean, I could hardly fault eurocharged for giving me a tune that doesn't support power levels well above what its designed to do.

With that said, them having demonstrated the ability to modify the factory calibration to such a degree suggests when the time comes to tuning my twin-screw-equipped STR, I'll be able to have Jerry/Eurocharged develop (live on a dyno this time) a more appropriate tune for my application,

Otherwise, a MAF-interceptor based piggy-back will likely come into play.

We're on page 3 and I can't see them.

When you get all the dyno work done and post up your numbers before and after, can you edit your initial post to reflect same so people doing a search do not have to rifle through the three pages of off topic discussion already in existence to see how it ended? Thanks!

Fair enough. Might have been better to post this thread with the results of the after dyno to get right to the point. if GT42R wants I'll delete every post of "off topic" discussion once the results are in.

Well it's either huge gains and he's getting all the evidence in order
or its a tiny gain that could be caused by ambient temp etc.

We will just have to wait and see.......
