So I'm still finding f-ups cause by the well respected Porsche shop here in Annapolis.

1- I pulled the valve covers off the check the adjustment. They had not adjusted the valves like I asked. They were WAY off. Jake say zero lash for my cam. They were very loose. Looking at my gaskets, they were not even checked....

2- I installed a fuel pressure gauge in the engine compartment. Fired up the car and the gauge read 40psi!!!!!! 40 f--kin' PSI

So I adjusted the valves to .001" just so I could check them with a feeler. What do you know, the car ran better and it cured the high RMP lag I was feeling above 4500 rpm.
Then I dropped the fuel pressure to 30psi. Now it idled much better and had ALLOT more pick up. Smooth power delivery up to mid throttle.

At full-ish throttle it seemed to pop or misfire. I expect that it is running lean. Makes sense when you consider the asshat tuned the MPS with massive vacuum leaks and 40psi of fuel pressure so.......

I go to hook up my brand new LM2 to do the calibration and the stupid thing won't calibrate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I spent more time trying to figure this issue out then I did messing with the actual car. I guess I need to call Innovate tomorrow and see what they say.....
