haha yay my thread is becoming an off-topic wonderland!!
okay so i just got home from driving the tC back from my fraternity's chapter meeting.. well, i found a way i can enjoy a little boost without bogging my engine. for some reason this drive back just ended up being perfect. i was never at WOT; i just gradually increased my throttle position as i accelerated.. and YES i know i was probably running at 14.7 afr partial throttle boost but you know what.. it was a rare occasion and let me tell you... i felt the boost this time.
like... back in the seat boost. and it was great because i know that was far from what i'll be at when the car has a really good fuel map and the rest of the little issues are shored up. i just had to share; it was a good experience.
pics will be up soon. videos will have to wait until the car is 99.9% perfect.

as for the tune, i dunno when i'll be getting it. next few weeks i imagine. i'm running ola's map right now. i haven't changed anything b/c i have yet to research the specifics of what doing so would do in terms of AFR, timing, etc. etc. i think my timings way off, though.. my idle sounds like absolute hog $hit.. rpms bouncing between 500-800rpms and sounds like a diesel.

let me know if you fix the idle problem, and what fixed it. it's so bad that i'm embarrassed to idle the car when people are around haha

i got over that because i can offset it by boosting away...
i retarded the timing a bit, 2 percent....and it steadied.
it got a hell of alot rougher, but steadied. i need to start doing logs and actually reading them haha

Yeah, i need to get you those wires so you can log your wideband on the f/ic. it's GREAT!
Todd...I'm actually gonna be in AZ sometime in april, but you said your guy was like $200 an hour or some crap like that! a little rich for my blood. Maybe you could hook us up with a deal? maybe if aen and I came up together?
Oh, and is that shop even open on the weekend? what shop is it?
