HAHA! That was actually the original plan man =/ however, she will eventually cut out up top. 22mS ain't no joke =X I promise to film some launches once the fuel upgrades are in and dialed. He might even take her to our local eighth-mile afterward! =]

Since it was brought up, I figured I could share too heheGranted, 15G's are one class up from 13G's. It is still a stock MAS, Pump-91, flash-tuned car.

I also tried a new tweak that squeezed a few more ponies, but I never did any additional runs to support it afterward:Here are the before and after results; 350AWHP//375AWTQ on Pump-91 is pretty nice especially with a HFC installed!
Red line = shop-tuned S-AFC I
Blue line = street-tuned ECU
I never posted a thread on here or 3Si about that 49k '99 VR-4, BUT I guess I should mention that I completely tuned it with both NB's disabled for reasons out of my hands. She drives like a dream though!
In comparison to this '92 VR-4: I think the 9b's w/ AEM could easily close the 40-wheel gap on ethanol. Pump-91/100 will be an interesting challenge.
93 octane FTW
2015 UPDATE!!!!
Some of you may have read my other update thread w/ Mark's VR-4 and AEM here:
Pushing Mark's VR-4 w/ BM Billet 19T's - 600AWTQ and Counting! <<
Well, Rob's is the other VR-4 w/ AEM that I have been simultaneously juggling lol! This year is off to a great start, and we are going to get a little ambitious by making an attempt to claim a new world 3/S record for highest HP w/ 9b's! If we come short, then we will at least have it for all of Cali/West Coast. The plan is to re-tune on Pump-91, then 91+Meth, and finally/possibly E85+Meth!
The goodies:
"Fresh TB's w/ dat MIL.SPEC goodness - thanks April!"
"Walbro 400lph is ready!"
Preview of new fuel system, new filters w/ K&N condoms, and my custom, one-off oil catch tank!
Ready for "round 2" of AEM tuning!
"SOLID hot idle @900RPM w/ new fuel setup; Defi 60mm for reference. GReddy/Denso 720cc's w/ AEM EMS Series 2. Progress (Power) is going to be so damn quick and easy lol!"
Preview: First Startup w/ New Fuel Setup on Rob's VR-4 and AEM EMS S2 <<
Once I complete the Pump-91 tuning with more boost, then I will install the NIB AEM v2 progressive WMI kit.

Good news and bad news!
The good news is that she is finally seeing MORE boost with awesome AEM tuning.
The bad news is that the clutch is slipping [in third] like a MOTHERF*CKER!!!!
Of course, I was SO BUMMED when it happened because I really wanted to proceed into the E85+Meth tuning phase. I already suggested a SPEC Stage 2+ (full-faced and unsprung) w/ LWFW since this car is not really going to be dragged - yet anyway. I found it amusing (no surprise) that the peashooter 9b's fell off to 13.x lbs. The GReddy/Denso injectors and GReddy PRofec B-spec II are both barely at 50% too. More updates to come once some decisions have been made!

I guess in a funny way, this scenario reminds me of Mark's car lol. Two springs had previously popped out of his SouthBend Stage 4 which led to some unforeseen downtime.
