Well I suppose I'll post up an update.
I had to get a new oxygen sensor put on (thru a code on the drive up, ended up putting both up streams on for consistent reading) and of course get the 3 bar swapped out when I got there. It had to get rescheduled for tuning at that point. Right before tuning it was realized the meth wasn't working correctly with the signal wire tapped into the factory sensor. The standalone map sensor was installed and that fixed the problem. It was rescheduled again for tuning.
The car finally got on the dyno April 7th. Currently it is still being tuned. A loose t-bolt caused some delay also trying to figure out why it wasn't making a clean pull. Apparently with upgraded turbos and applying the V8 tune everything needed started from scratch.
I'm going to keep it around 400whp. I talked to Dan and they have seen a few broken rods on cars making 430ish+. Upon teardown it was found to be a rod failure alone and not tune/fuel related. Being that this is my DD I don't feel like replacing the motor. TQ should be very good so I might still end up knocking on 11's door. It sucks being told "with this setup you can make pretty much whatever you want to" but holding it back to a reasonable level. Better safe than sorry!
I'm ready to have this car back. It's coming up on 3 months.
