I've soiled myself already. I'll have to think long and hard where I can take logs. I hope temps warm up again because tires are already getting squirrely in the early mornings.

oh and make sure to egg the benz as you fly by.
We're starting part throttle tuning today, if all goes well should be ready for WOT soon. Starting with ONLY 21psi
I'd be super curious to see where we end up and maybe even take some VD logs and then compare to a real dyno when it's all done.

Oof. I was on travel for two weeks for work. Not much more to report though. I got pulled over by a state trooper and was lucky not to be thrown in jail when doing a log. The officer wasn't mean about it, but notified me that at my speed (anything above 80) basically a lot of bad things can happen from all ends. He also asked if I was running a straight pipe because it "smells interesting" to which I deflected and said I had a magnaflow muffler....which is another ticketable offense.
It was a section of road I thought was desolate. I think I'll just have to head into MD to do any useful pulls but it's pretty daunting to try to run this car out.
Anyone have a dyno in their back yard?
I only have a week and half home till I'm gone for another two weeks. I have a lot of forum reading to catch up on.

this is weird:
table clearly commands boost controller duty well below when it kicks in. it definitely didn't do this before. really funky
its like it either is sticking, or losing connection, or something.
hopefully just a glitch and goes away with this recent revision.
trying 25psi now

Reckless is 6 demerits on the license. Any mile over 80 (or was it 90) was a day in jail. I don't know. It kind of rocked my confidence and I have to be ultra discrete and careful. Though I didn't get a ticket, I'm sure I'll be on a 'list' and won't get off so easy next time. Also I don't know if it helped but I had the Car's Bible in the trunk which holds the registration and info and was unable to reach it without exiting the vehicle. I offered several times and he just asked if the car was registered to me and looked up my info that way.

Pfff you guys need to come to Arkansas, lots of long empty smooth straights on my end of the state. If you're a good ol boy and know the cops they won't mess with you. A few years ago I did get hit pretty hard with a 11 point ticket, they pull your license at 21.
25psi I bet it makes a looooooot of power. Virtual dyno cough cough
