should net a gain but I highly doubt it will be as much as you think.

I expect 5-10hp. I saw a huge change in Chris Kearns' car. Remember that I have EV1 580CC injectors now which atomize for **** and make the car barely idle. I have to err for fatness on the AFR so sometimes the car reads as fat as 11.3:1, sometimes 13.1 due to shitty spray and fuel on the walls combine with a lack of TPS enrichment.

sounds about right. but why the failstrictor? does another 5-10 disqualify you from your class?

161whp is the absolute limit of what I can make on a Dynojet and stay in that class, I did 157whp with the Barrett Jackson tune using the conversion from the Mustang Dyno, which is what I intend to do because I have to come up with ~$1500 for 9" 6ULs and Hoosiers. 162whp means I go to TTC. However, I can run my current set-up and a max of 179hp in TTC.

Bad idea. Use your VVT control to bring down the top end power, if needed, when needed. Run the full power VVT tune other times.

could you possibly use a hidden external switch for table switching? Make more/less power on the fly!

I'd rather lose with dignity than cheat and win.

Until you find out the guys beating you are already doing something similar to gain a "competitive edge"

That assumes you are getting beat in the first place

Different redlines? a 5k redline limited to 161hp and then a 9 or whatever k redline that you'll unlock? Too obvious? :P

That would be a nice change. I'm feeling more confident than ever about my driving. Well, "I'm feeling confident about my driving for the first time."

I am clearly an electrical engineer:
Is there any reason not to take every accessory ground wire, ECU ground wire, coils, injectors, CKP, CMP, and LC-1 ground wires and solder them to one big ring connector attached to the EGR-port-bolt on the back of the intake plenum? This will be my 3rd rewire on this car. I want one, badass, clean harness for this car because after ~20-years, the factory harness has turned to ****. The insuraltion turns to powder when you touch it and the copper wire is black throughout.

Contaminated grounds from power?

Separate ground for timing/sensors for less noise on signal?

In for answer.

1, what fae said.

B. Good luck making that monster glob solder joint and having it stay together

iii: It would be better electrically than putting each wire on its own ring terminal and putting them all on 1 stud.
