Rayovac,
Glad to know what's involved in getting the tune dialed in. To be honest, I might just wait till mid-late April and do some pulls at OC Dragway on test and tune Friday it's only 2 miles from where I live and probably a LOT safer.
Work is super busy right now anyway.
Off topic a little bit but there a well know YouTuber (StreetSpeed717) took a Whipple truck out for a day. He was pretty damn impressed with the truck, Kind of funny video actually. This one is Roush truck with a Whipple, kind of confusing. The truck was tuned by Lund.

Hey @OCMike I hear you on waiting to tune. Those 5th Gear 7K pulls got a little sketchy. I have never been out to OC Dragway, but once the weather gets better, definitely let me know if and when you go out there, I will surely join you.
And yeah... that Woush truck is Terry Reeve's daily driver. I saw it when I picked mine up at Beechmont. I love the 11:45 mark in the video where he drops the phone. LOL The only thing that bugs me is while Beechmont does have a Stage 1, warranty available build, Terry's truck is definitely not that. Love the heads snapping back into the head rests when they finally figured out 4wheel launches.
The last logging run I did was a repeat of the 2K-7K pull but in 4th gear now. Not sure how much more logging runs until I am tuned and we start working on the shifts. I was hoping I might have another tune today... but maybe I will see it on Monday.
DW and I did around 20 logs together, lots of Nox 0-100 runs. As long as you have a spot where the road is private, it's fun. It helps a lot when the wife is a good sport.
Another Wife story update. So I finished all the 2k to whatever runs in x gear for Ken. And today he had me do a 0-100mph in Sport Mode with 4x4 and all the TCS stuff turned off. Told the Wife we had an easier one to run and she came with me.
So we turn down the road and I stop. I tell her to hit the Red button on VCM and we verify it is seeing the data... I mash it all the way to the floor and off we go. Once we hit 100mph, we are coasting down and she says "why didn't you tell me it was going to be like that". I said "like what?". She says "you know, my stomach about came up my throat, my head slammed back in to the seat". Hahahaha... I told her this was the first time I had done that, did not have any reference to warn her about. She then states "I about **** myself". I was rolling over with laughter. She does not swear.. so hearing this was priceless.
So yeah... Ken's tune is NOTICEABLY different the the Whipple CAL. Now I know these numbers could be off a few tenths here and there but from carefully calculating from my log timing in VCM suite.. I saw 4.1s to 60mph and 9.3 to 100mph. Not to bad for a fully loaded Platinum Crew 4x4 with Retrax and 2 people inside.
