This is an interesting point. I know there is a ton of sophistication present, but there is always a way to beat the system. I have been a 4dr hot rod fanatic for a while, not excluding a nearly 400whp 2.3L Volvo (with nitrous). I also trust in getting to the source of the source of the source of the problem.

The advent of OBDII has made things tough for a lot of people. I will certainly continue researching, but I'm convinced that ECU sensed engine load especially can be managed with a little finesse. I'm not doing all that to my car, but I'll keep an eye out for threads that I can hopefully add some insight to. Ignition timing on the other hand can be hellacious to deal with because of the misfire routines in the ECU itself.
SICK! How'd you get your B230 Tuned to 400hp?! I'm assuming you used the modern Red Block with the Piston squirters. You used Mega Squirt or something? Which turbo?

I've got a 93 944TIC i've been playing with. Barely touching 185whp, but the torque is ridiculous (something like 230lbs/ft) and she gets out of her own way right swiftly (i'm gearing up to install the SMT6).
