Verdict is in : Grond is a Beast!!!! Many many thanks to Slowhawk (Don) for an outstanding tuning job. It's like a whole different car now - it has manners, is streetable, plays well with others and wants to lift the front tyres at WOT!!!!!
Before Tune numbers : 357rwhp and 340rwtq.
After Tune numbers : 384rwhp and 364rwtq
But the numbers do NOT tell the true story. I can drive it normally now. The bucking and surging are history as is it being intractable and recalcitrant in traffic. I love it all over again!!!!
Oh, and my redline is now 6800rpm and my shift points are at 6300rpm - it SCREAMS!!!!

It's too bad you're not in to 1/4 miling. That'd be fun to see what kind of trap speed it lays down with that dyno number.
Like I said when I met you, the real results are the bottom numbers at the end of the track. Of course, if that isn't important to you(which it doesn't seem to be) then dyno numbers, and a car that'll smolder tires 'til the cows come home sound like fun!
Maybe we can tug on your shirt a little harder and get you to Englishtown in the fall(When the air is VERY dense and the car makes it's highest power level)

I would not be surprised if I ran mid 13's with my setup right now.
