Thats spark cut traction control, not misfires. (though he might also have those not sure).

And those dyno pulls look seriously weaksous.

The last one is at least somewhat promising, so I'm just hoping the 1st 2 were part throttle or something.

bear in mind it's a dyno dynamics (I think?) and their "dyno pull" ramp rate may be somewhat slower than a dynojet roller.

Ok that would make more sense! I forgot he had that on! Looking forward to the 500whp+ I hope...

my supra's HKS BOV is the micheal winslow of car parts. On little to no boost, it hisses, on cruise boost (2-3psi) it will squeak, on medium boost, it sounds like a pony, on a quick gear shift, it sounds like breaking the sound barrier, on full max boost and a let off, gives off the most ricey sounding (Fast and furious sound) whoosh evar.

At other unpredictable times, it depends on how I am driving.

I will make one comment. Take it FWIW. He texted me in the early PM yesterday (after these pulls) inquiring about getting a ride in my LS6 car accompanied by some grumblings about turbos, etc.
