Final poke of the night! I have been "motoring" tonight in a final (pre) production version of our ECU product in Howard! Holy ISH batman! What a HUGE difference it makes. Still trimming the mapping etc. but we are WAY in line for the Nov. 1st release. Contracts are signed, units built, packaging getting completed, etc. but none of that compares to the first time you lay the hammer down your car with this in it. Now I have the complete ALTA catalog on the car (engine wise) and that felt quick. This is a HUGE leap forward from that. Throttle response is crisp and quick. Boost builds at a tremendous rate, the DSC can hardly keep up and I am SURE I need a new set of front tires after my brief drives around tonight. I am sure I will literally ish myself when the turbo upgrade goes on next. 300hp makes for a FUN daily driver!
Good night NAM! Chat tomorrow!

Thanks folks. I am hoping to have an official press release approved ASAP for publication to answer all of the questions. Again, I still see Nov. 1st as being the launch date with shipments leaving to clients within a week.
Hope that helps! Chat soon!
PS: My neck sure is sore from trying to hold it off the headrest under acceleration. Gotta get a massage or something today!

The factory also states that with overboost the torque is 192, but since boost is higher at 13.6psi, that also means that HORSEPOWER should be higher than 172hp. Any idea how much more?
Maybe that is why the Mini S dynos at 172WHP, because of the overboost?
