I was told that the owner of the test car (this guy) was involved in the software programming that SCT used to crack the E16a. I was hoping he could read and reply to the thread I have on SCT's forum concerning this system. I haven't heard back from him yet, but I only just wrote him today. I'll probably hear something on Monday.

SCT contacted me about the testing as well but they wanted a stick for development and i have an automatic. But they did tell me they would keep me in mind when they start automatic testing

all i know of what they were able to do was change the fuel curves, advance timing, and a few other things. dont know how much furthey they got because i stoped asking about it after they told me they wanted a stick for development

im sorry, but for having a turbo, you have no boost guage, no wideband, nor an oil pressure guage?

Being this was the test platform car, you can bet that those parameters where monitored via external devices by the manufacturer during development. They are simply not part of the final product. Actually I don't know of a single complete kit like this that comes with a wideband. And it does have a boost gauge. Like he said, he just hasn't mounted it.

This is the thread I over at SCT that I would like him to respond to:

No it is 267 at the wheels... We ran it on the dyno and like I said it is running a custom tune. Halfcent I replyed to your PM.

Edit: I'll see what I can do to post a Dyno Run for the car...

Update is he's not involved at the moment. The basic question is whether or not SCT / Garrett is going to provide support for additional platforms, and nobody can answer that for me.

The way that GM got that number was by shooting an instant full on shot of nitrous (I think it was a 150shot but I could be wrong). The engine is probably safe close to 300hp at the fly.

GM never said that. GM Racing destoyed an engine using nitrous at 287 horsepower. So it's been a generall accepted number that 250 was the safe max. I don't doubt his power claim at all. It's a bit high for the car without some supporting engine work, and it will reduce the durability of the engine, but it will be fine.

stock 2.2 = 140hp
2.2 with turbo = 240hp
2.2 with turbo and 2 12s in the back = 150hp.
Take those heavy POSs out!! they make you slow....
