It's been a while since I've had anything to update and I've been busy with the kids. I've gotten, I think, two more tunes and I got it dyno'd. The car feels really good but it's still down on HP for some reason. However, the torque curve looks great. From a rolling start in 1st gear the car pulls hard.
As you can see from the chart, the torque comes on really early and stays pretty much flat until redline (self imposed at 6500 rpm) The HP is flattening out around 5800rpm or so but I'm not sure why. AFR looks pretty good although I'd like to see it around 13 or lower. I think I may have a boost leak since I only got 8.5 psi at 6500rpm. I should be getting 9.5 by then and I even went to a smaller pulley.
So my immediate list is:
Look for a leak some where.
Replace the oil level sensor to get rid of my check engine light.
Replace the ICV to hopefully fix some idle issues.
All of this will require removing a lot of stuff and laying under the car. Unfortunately, I injured my back a few weeks ago and I've been in extreme pain. I can't walk more than a dozen feet and even that is extremely painful. I bought a wheelchair last weekend and I've been rockin' that to get around the house, work and shopping. It's been a real challenge to do anything and since I don't have a handicap card, I still have to park where ever. Funny thing is when I'm sitting I have no pain at all and I can still drive my car without issue.
I'm hoping that between all the drugs the Dr's are giving me and PT, I'll be back in action soon but for now this is my ride. I stripped off the foot rests and the arm rests, lubed and adjusted the bearings, It goes pretty good now

Hope you get better. Back problems suck since I suffer from them as well.

Sorry to hear Rob. Could always be worse. One of my operators at my plant had his right leg surgically amputated about 10" above the knee due to diabetes yesterday.

Yea there is always someone with a worse problem. I'm pretty upbeat about it. I'm just looking forward to getting my car done and playing with the kids again
To be honest, I rather talk about my car than my back
