I'm glad you feel good about the numbers. Whether Kenny "feels good about them" is apparently another story. I personally don't care, although I will have to admit that I was a little underwhelmed by them considering the amount of time, parts, and money that went into the build. But that's neither here nor there. In addition, I guess I'm confused as to why you believe there is still "more in it". Does that mean that you knew it left your shop without being tuned to it's full potential? That you knew you were leaving power/drivability on the table? Or do you mean that it was perfect when it left, but something has changed between Florida and Kenny's house during transport?
When my car leaves a shop, I expect it to be running to its full potential (barring some upgrade which I opted not to make). I don't want the car to come home with XXX hp, but a promise that it "has more in it". If it has more in it, then I bloody well want it out of it. But maybe that's just me.

I'm certainly no tuner, and can't speak for Larry, but your statement baffles me. Now I agree and understand some of it, except for the the "more left in it" questions. I'm going to go on basic mechanic knowledge/judgement here and say that the car was tuned very conservatively on timing with a fat/safe air fuel (12:1, not 14;1 etc). Why? Because it was a completely new setup, with probably the bare minimum break in miles. Kenny was really looking forward to running the car at Columbus, so I'm guessing the conservative tune was done for the reasons above. Hense, the statement "a lot more left in her."
Out of curiousity, what were the numbers by the "other" car tuned with the stryker heads? The numbers I heard (from someone directly associated with the car) were quit lower than Kenny's.
But as you stated, and I agree, its not my issue and I hope it gets resolved. I just can't figure out why you have such a hard-on for Larry.
Kudos to JD for saying how it really is.
Kenny, out of curiousity, what rpm, gear, and mph do you drive around at?
