Its just starting to rain now but tomorrow I will make a few more WOT runs and report back.
We expect that report to be in the form of a video with glorious amounts of tire smoke.

That did it. The new Dayco Tensioner with the Gatorbacks solved the problem completely. I was driving in the rain today bounching the rev limiter at max boost without slip. Wahoo!

As soon as it stops raining I will make some WOT runs and shoot to Hemifever. I will post them up when I do. Once we get the tunes dialed in it will be back to the dyno.
