Yeah, that spike defies all usual theories.
It's not the injectors maxing out, because they do fine after 4K RPM.
It's not the fuel pressure falling for the same reason as above.
That spike is the ECU saying "F U Alan...I run this show!"
Well F U ECU, you're getting replaced.

I'm gonna use every possible precaution (knock based control, AFR based control, etc..)
I don't like other people messing with my car.
I'd much rather learn and do it myself (even if this is the hard/expensive way).
Once again, I take more pride in a self-tuned 300hp car than a professionally tuned 500hp car.

Too bad I'm up here in NorCal.
Not many SC300-Ts around here which is kinda cool I guess but at the same time not too many decent tuner shops.
Bruce Nomura has a spot in the East Bay (about 45 miles for me) so if I were to pay someone, I'd probably take it there.
I've heard of Justin and his work. From what I understand, the pricing is reasonable as well.
I wish AEM would have classes for everyone, not just for distributors and official 'tuners'.
I'd rather pay for the class than for the tune.

If you go with AEM, a professional tune is highly recommended.
I'm gonna try my own tuning, but I'm starting with a decent map and might still take it to someone.
