Can't wait to see it dude!
Just got caught up after a few days off......Wowwwww. I think I knew that about the Wideband before I even turboed my car.
Jeremy is absolutely right about street driving vs. dyno tuning. My car reacts differently every day. Its very hard to simulate that on a dyno. My friend had his 09 wrx tuned on a combo of dyno/street driving with his tuner. I always thought that was the best way to go. I'd love to have a tuner go to the track with me and tune based on my passes.
YupBillet gears in the oil pump, right?
YupUhhh....your tuner was right in front of you at the track rental...????
OP-I did not see it in your sig, is that a JPC intake?
YupYup JPC cast intake.

DOnt drive it if its running pig rich (Which it sounds like it mihght be) in the 10s AFR wise.
1. Fire up and heat cycle check for leaks... let it run for a few. Dump oil and change w/ new filter (flush ass lube and any shit in the motor)
You dont have to break shit in and wont if youre too nice to it. It will get broken in during part throttle tuning. Loading the rings is what break in is all about. Lots of varying load and braking on the motor... etc. That doesnt mean beating on it, but not pussyfooting it either ;O)
To properly seat the rings you need to get the motor really hot,which intails beating on it.. and allow for coast downs in gear. Coast down in gears, will build up crank case pressure under the pistons which will expand the rings and get a full seat against the wall.
Motors that have rings properly seated make power, the rings are seated 95 percent of the way theyre gonna get before the endd of your part throttle tune with accell, brake on the motor and varying load. If you DONT load them up (Or wash the rings out with fuel being too rich... Your motor wont seat the rings, and it will smoke and not make power.
A quick oil change and new filter after that too is my practice, then the dyno if everything seems to be in order.... I wait about 500 miles then stuuff synthetic in it.
You know the old addage:
Break emin hard they run hard? Its true. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN flagarantly donre and "hard" though. And a proper way.
By the end of the street tune you should be in boos
