Today was a busy day of researching my car. The verdict... the car needs to be retuned. We datalogged it and there was some major problems. So lots of things we need to fix.
Retune soon to come! Also installing my quaife LSD and upgrading to an electronic boost control solonoid and 750cc injectors.

Bro, time for some what we call "Tough Love". Listen fix your problems FIRST, then upgrade. I believe we had this conversation a little while back when you were on the Ultimate. You bashed the Ultimate and said you wouldn't recommend it because it sucked and you were going AEM EMS. I remember explaining to you that you more than likely will have the same issues and the EMS upgrade is not a bandaid. Appears you are having the same issues as before. So if you REALLY want to get the most out of your car, stop bandaiding it with just more stuff.
You are taking the right first step though, getting a tune from someone else....

spinning cause all that WTQ man.... JK JK
but all that BS we had aside. running all seasons is NOT the easiest thing to do. trust me all year on my avid H4's, were hell running mid-low 14's. All about throttle control for first and second gear. After 5-10 times down the track learning, was finally able to get 13.6@109MPH with all seasons
wanna try something a little stickier next time.

^ same question as TRD. Why do you automatically say the tune/car is at fault and not the driver. Not bashing at all, considering you said it was for first time at the track with a turbo FWD car. You need to learn to control wheel spin, and that can not be done in 1 night.

Lol all things aside, I already mentioned that I was still learning to race. I've ran a 14.0 before, but again that was 2 years ago w/ the same tires, different tune by a different tuner.
As far as the "remedy fix" the AEM standalone did fix the problem, the car doesn't go into Limp mode anymore which my main concern, but as far as the power tune, the actual problem was that the car was leaning out going to 15.1 when reaching max whp/wtq, and wasn't a smooth fuel curve or something like that. I don't remember exactly what the tuner who datalogged my car said.
Reason for upgrading to bigger injectors is because I'm maxed out with the methanol and all. Also reason I'm putting the LSD in is to help me get traction. Learning to drive a quarter mile is hard, and I admit that.
Does anyone know if it's possible to run 16x7 rims on the tc and clear the break calipers? Looking into picking up 2 of these for slicks
