So did you have to make many changes on the tune? What was it when you first got there? Did you play with the cam gears at all on the dyno or just afc/chip?
I just made a few slight changes to the SAFC and chip, like fine tuning the A/F ratio, boost level and the boost solenoid on/off point. The dyno chart shows a slight increase in power right at 5750rpm, which is where the boost solenoid closes. At the track I lowered it to 5600rpm to give it a little more kick.
I talked with Sean about changing the cam timing, but after looking at the torque/power curves we decided to leave it alone with both cams retarded 2*. I was a little puzzled when I saw the odd shaped torque curve, but I really liked the high end power. I like it so much I almost don't want to upgrade the cams.

Some of the improvement in my driving is due to a few key mods: drag radials on lightweight wheels, a twin disc clutch and double syncros on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears. I did improve my driving skills since I wanted to make sure my driving was worthy of those mods.
I'm glad I had it in me.
. Nice 60' also.
CONGRATS!
