Sorry, guys - been off the air for a few days.
Answers to questions:
Steven - Not a lot. The dyno says 260 hp (200 RWkW?). But I have to remember it's a standard engine with just the boost on top and ECU. However, I find the acceleration terrific and am very happy with the result.
Anish - not really the issue. It seems the factory ECU was misinterpreting signals, or something was sending wrong signals (knock or oxygen sensors, we think). All academic now with separate engine management system.
Gary - excellent. Looking forward to results after 27th. The legal stuff was taken care of by the expert - DPI experience contacts, etc. I was off the road for two weeks.
Now I've put new 18" rims with 265s on the back (235s front). Feels good. But I'm happy to stay a sleeper, so this is probably it for now.

Hi, guys.
Badger (you thought he'd left the planet) has now completed his upgrades, and is calling it a day at 296 RWHP, after cams, extractors, cats and bigger injectors on top of the blower. I tried to attach a jpg of the dyno result, but I'm a PC dummy and the site told me so. I can email you a copy on request. By the way, I found in my travels that there are some very happy dynos out there, and so I settled for the one at West Racing, which appears to give me the lowest (most conservative) number. Others, I know, read up to 8% more.
