Pics from SharkWerks today with Todd Z

I dropped my car off today (mine is seal grey in the background) and had to take a few quick shots with my camera phone.

Todd checking out Alex's RS exhaust note (after some mods):

Thanks RiA... so good to see you too. Can't wait to see what you think with the LWF. More importantly... starting to look at the some of the maps:


Creating "real" a dual-chip solution. That means two independent, full and switchable maps. This isn't a single file with a unit that "forces" certain ignition map.


Also James and Todd testing the "real" dual-chip solution (for 91 octane vs higher):


Not sure what to drive home tonight

New clutch and LWFW + the new dual-chip solution to switch between pump and race fuel.

I'm going to have to be patient and take it easy on my new clutch for a few hundred miles - then I get to test out the race file

Thanks Marty and the only bummer with this internet thing is that folks such as yourself are even better in person But we'll take our internet in the mean time

Hehe... yup it'll work indeed. We were being shown the how/what last night so if you do get access to 100 octane and want to have a second ECU built in we can now actually do it

Yes sir... break-in will go away quickly. I have to say with the LWF in there you'll like the new-found character. Blipping will be fun that's for sure

I haven't yet and thanks bmoores. It's so funny to think of how crazy/complex these 2010 cars are and then here I was setting the valves on the Speedster in a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon

Rich,

It was great meeting you in person... Again, thanks for loaning me that spoiler wrench!

Alex,

Took it easy on the way home, per your instructions, but man the car feels way more responsive and I could "swear" the turbos spool faster :-)

-Sam
