Because my first run on the dyno was after a tune by jan, it was 202 whp and I don;t have a basline. Going by my previous dyno session on a dynojet, I improved 13 whp and 12 wtq. It could have been better if i didn;t have a damn exhaust leak (again!).... Anyways, I'm verry happy with the results and I feel comfortable ramping up the n2o for better quarter mile times. Thanks Jan!

Looks like everyone at the tune day was pretty well satisfied. This could get exciting.

Ya, he had to guestimate how much to lean out my new 440 injectors because running them before they were pretuned would have fouled my plugs...

Laguna Seca was not laguna seca it was more like Mas Agua in the afternoon. The a.m. was a gas. There were Porsches,Vipers,Vettes,Lotuses all over the place. Mini was well represented with five of us. We had one guy that was so fast he was literally passing all but the very fastest . The guy was truly amazing. Just about the time I was getting fast enough to let'er rip it started raining big time. Like we say a bad day at the track is still better than a good day anywhere else.
Willum you up for Thunderhill in Feb. with Minis Only?

So how were the Azenis in the rain? Mine haven't worn since they hit the wear bars at the track. They had about 7K then and now they are at about 17K. They really must have gotten hard.
