interesting... so all they did was mess with the air fuels and the timing perhaps, and left the blower's internal BOV TB open in stock bleed off configurations I assume. Car should pick up a lot more power once that valve is kept closed from a dig... the amount of torque it should pick up below 3000rpm should be huge.

Yes, 6th gear. So these are inflated numbers.

even more interesting. So all they did was tweak the AFR, and call it a day.

As i mentioned i the other thread, the power does not come until someone re-configures how the butterfly valve in the blower operates, and that's all new ground for most tuners it seems. Its gonna be a while

Sorry but keep in mind that's not the most trustworthy source so a grain of salt is appropriate IMO.

I wouldn't let that guy touch my lawnmower, let alone a ZR.

I’d wait for a reliable source for actual results.

Dyno numbers will be lower in 5th than in 6th.
