I'm hoping Jed will chime in with his perspective.

P500 MDM killed all the acceleration, computer thought slipping was occurring and really cut out the power the car was hesitating a lot. Shifting wasnt like Joe's either.. That 3.90 diff and the MDM dont get a long lol

I wouldnt flame yet. This was a warm up

I think it would have been safe to give him the 'go' after the second spanking.

good kill Joe! not sure if it would have made a difference, but it would have been interesting to see Jed's car in the max settings.

hahahah...to be fair he was in MDM mode and had stock section 1 and 2.

The RPi headers do make a HUGE difference here is a dyno video:

I talked to Jed and we will do another run with him in S6.

He didn't realize it until after we got back to the shop.
