Thanks, Pat. Good to know that resource is there, but for now, I think I can conclude that my car was down on power this year, and the tune was the reason. Since I have the old tune back, that...

Thanks for the feedback, all. It sounds like it was most likely a false alarm. Back to trying to figure out how to improve the driver.

My dyno from the spring should be attached. Any thoughts welcome as to whether it shows anything may be amiss, as opposed to maybe just a machine that reads low or whatever.

e85 or wider wheels?
