Well, just got back from SEMA so catching up on all these post. I would like to say "hats off" too Rich for running the car down the quarter. From what I hear, may have some tuning issues in the cold. Doesn't sound like Rich data logged for Trifecta at WOT (I ran through the gears for my data logs). My rev limiter hits at 7,000 but Trifecta can change that if you prefer. I hit my rev limiter several times already and asked to leave the limiter on until we are completely done with the final tuning. Although when I do hit the limiter, I don't have the dramatic shut-off that was reported by Rich and others. When we AutoX, we routinely ride the limiter as opposed to shifting.

Rich sounds like he had traction problems, which should be fixed with some drag slicks, but his top end problems in 3rd gear seemed more like a tuning issue.

I hope to have some VBOX times as soon as we get all the bugs worked out here. The other day coming back from AutoX I ran to 115 mphs (uphill on the freeway) and the DIC give me a warning "engine power reduced" so I backed off (this was using the base boost). Appears that Trifecta increased the fuel rail pressure but not the fuel pump output so ran out gas. The point being is since no one is out testing these cars, we don't know where are the problems are until we hit them. I am glad that most of the post in this thread has been positive and contructive.
