Car didn't make it onto the dyno until late afternoon. Gave me a chance to scoot over there after work to catch some of the action.
Low and behold, Sharky made a guest appearance from NorCal and was with Todd in the car making pulls.

Didn't get to stay for too long, but apparently something was amiss with the car. Inconsistent power and pulled timing = bad gas? (pump 91 and a 'splash' of 100 (Todd's words, not mine![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
Decided to let the car sit tonight, drain the tank tomorrow and give her some fresh MS100.
One of several pulls that night (sorry for the crap iPhone vid)
Hopefully, the maps will be finished tomorrow, programmed into the chip, install the switch, and I get to take her home
Todd and Alex: thanks for burning the midnight (or at least 7 o'clock) oil trying to get this done tonight

Today was the final day of tuning. Erratic power output and pulled timing yesterday. Something wrong with the car or the fuel. As Sharky alluded to ^^, Todd smelled something amiss with the 100 octane they put in yesterday. To take the fuel out of the troubleshooting equation, plan was to drain the tank and fill with MS109.
Car strapped on the dyno.

PIWIS hooked up to activate the fuel pumps to drain the tank

Emulator hooked up and ready for tuning

John and Ian filling the tank with pure, newly opened VP MS109

Two of the pulls
Best run (sorry, no vid):

After figuring out yesterday's results were from bad fuel, Todd mixed some pump 91 and re-dyno'd. Didn't catch those but was told the power was essentially the same.
Comparing this to the baseline dyno I originally posted, gains were approximately 220 awhp and 210 ft-lbs of tq
I'll (or Ian) will post some dyno plots when they're available.
Due to a bit of a late start, still needed to finish programming, reinstall the rear bumper, and install the dual switch in the cabin = car not ready until tomorrow.
I still haven't driven this thing, but needless to say, I'm excited!
Will post impressions after I get to drive it tomorrow night

Thanks Torquey. I could never drive an autotragic![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
lol. Thanks bro. I'm surprised they don't have any Panny stuff out yet. They do have their hands full with 996/997 projects, though.
Haha. Shall I bring the Grey Poupon and have a cache of strippers in the backseat for your arrival?
Have fun while you're here, bro. Too bad we couldn't meet up.
