307 WHP / 352 Wtrq from Hahn RaceCraft
This thing is a real sleeper. I can't wait to come across a mustang or vette and have some fun with them.
I didn't get a chance to drive it with the BSR tune installed but I can say that Bills tune is super smooth and it runs perfect. I am really glad that I live in the country and have a lot of back roads to play on because this thing is a blast to run throu the gears.
I made a small video of the car at idle and a few revs. and sent it to Bill. I am on dialup and it takes for ever to send anything by email. Hopefully it goes through and he will post it so you guys can hear the exhaust. I can't put into words how great it sounds.
Thanks again to Bill for more great HP!!! You rock.

I noticed you've set the smoothing to 5 on the BSR graphs (they're 0 on the Hahn tune graphs). Given the amount of oscillation going on with the turbo on the BSR tune, I'd be interested in seeing an 'apples' comparison with the same smoothing value... since smoothing generally softens the lines a little, I'm thinking the turbo may be freaking out with the BSR tune, but it's masked into "ripples" with the smoothing setting. Yay? Nay?
But very observant nonetheless. XXL gets the prize for paying attention!
In this case, the smoothing approach was appropriate for each instance. When major oscilallations are present, we choose the largest smoothing factor for the most accurate depiction, thus avoiding unrealistically optimistic "peak" readings. When oscillation is minimal, we choose minimal smoothing.
What can cause such oscillation? Many factors, including vehicle movement on the dyno, a boost level 'hunting', A/F ratio adaptive behavior....or combinations of all of these. In the case of the PPC Tuner, we did less runs overall, for there was no opportunity to tailor the tune as there was with the custom tuning. Had we made as many pulls with the PPC, I daresay the oscillations would have become markedly less apparent (if not disappear altogether) as the adaptive behavior applies itself.
So, wrt the hunting that the BSR is doing, you believe the ECM would learn down some of that behavior? In essence, the 'learn down' behavior of the ECM is to pull back the gains that are "out of range" from what it expects. If the BSR tune has not bypassed this functionality, how does the tune get away from existing at all? ie... not getting learned down altogether?
Also, my first impression re the hunting was that the stock BOV is not holding up its end of the bargain, but since it's not apparent on the Hahn-tuned curve, I'm guessing that's not a (significant) problem for you (I can hear the hunt on my BSR-based system quite often at steady "too fast" highway speeds...).

Have pretty much the same setup (Hahn full 3" system, IC, IC pipes, Hahn/PPC tune), and have noticed that if I do a long pull in 5th gear at steady 20/23 psi boost on a cool day I will sometimes throw an "overboost code" and lose all boost. All I have to do is clear the code, and it all works fine again. Only happens in 4th or 5th i.e rare occurrence. Anyone else ever get an "overboost" code P0234 ?
