Low boost numbers are encouraging considering A/F was in the 10's at the time for safety...should have some results real soon.

Sounds like your getting close Jon... I have been talking with Ivan the past couple of days, and he made it sound like it would be totally done any day now, so cheers to you!
Can't wait to hear what kind of numbers it puts down... I hope your tranny stays together long enough for you to enjoy the car this summer!

After about 12 hours of tuning on the dyno (literally) and a few runs @ 10-14 lbs, Lar started turning up the boost a little.......e-manage crapped out. It's no longer implementing the changes that are programmed into it. I threw up my hands and gave up on this project (not the first time 
) and told Lar let's throw in the towel. He wouldn't give up so easy, so the e-man is going out the window (at speed ) and SP will be installing an AEM EMS and C2DI plus a couple other small things. This will be the first VVT-i car in the world with an AEM (no plug and play for these applications). Big up to Lar for his dedication and professionalism....thx brother. Parts are all being sent next day, so they'll be in on Mon and will be headed straight into the car, i'll have an update next week. I'll have to toast Larry/Gary/Ivan at the wedding, also thx to Jason Siebels.
For the record....not only is the e-manage an absolute piece of garbage, but GReddy tech support is the biggest bunch of jerkoffs i've had to deal with. Toshi is the worst of them, this guy needs an attitude readjustment, too bad he's not local. I won't be buying any more of their products.

SP fabbed a 12-tooth crank trigger setup and a cam trigger setup on the exhaust cam gear to sync to the AEM. Cool stuff. Everything went together great and Lar started the car today. We've decided to swap out the injectors for larger 75lb units...they'll be in on Mon, at which point they'll be installed and the car will be tuned on the dyno once again. Looks like it'll be all done next week.
