As you said ... my big concern is not breaking the car which is why I've been pretty cautious. One thing that worrys me is how fast the car hits redline when I floor it, possibly hitting the rev limiter. I think I would prefer it to shift sooner so the shift kit really should come sooner than later.
As for the videos, sure I'll do them as soon as I get a chance, but believe me, it sounds completely stock (except for the exhaust), both inside and outside when the car starts and idles. The only time it gets interesting is when it is in boost when you get the high pitched whine, the rapid acceleration, and the BOV when you let go of the gas.

Good stuff Terry. Im very happy for you, sounds like you got exactly what you wanted from GTM.

This is the only dyno sheet here. 336 lbs/fts of torque which is VERY low.

For the money he spent which is wayyyy too much it better be making over 400 lbs/fts of torque. 336 is just not going to cut it... at least for me.

GTM Stg1 TT, 9PSI, FCon iS, 5 A/T, 91 oct.

Nope the torque did not go over 400 ft-lb. Is that what other boosted HR motors with an automatic are putting out?
All I know is that there are some significant differences between the way DE and HR engines breathe which may account for the differences.
It could also by my 2.25" exhaust? I believe most people use 2.5" pipes. Maybe losses between the 5AT and 6MT?
It could also be a blessing in disquise if my drive train lasts longer.

The car is going back to GTM on Monday while I am out of town. I'll see what they say when they look at the tune again.
