UPDATES!!!!!!
First off, the car is on 87 octane! We are unsure of how this will effect the results but you can be sure that we will test that too! One thing we are definitely known for at AMS is our exhaustive testing procedures
. Secondly, for those of you that are unfamiliar with dyno charts, I apologize at the complexity of these. Boost and air/fuel are at the bottom, and horsepower and toque is the top chart.
The air/fuel curve on all the charts has a rather weird bump in the mid-range and the car does not run overly rich up top like we are used to seeing with factory turbocharged cars. At this time it definitely does not seem that there is alot of horsepower to be made with fuel tuning alone.

quick question for you guys? will running 93 or higher octane fuel make it richer without adjusting anything? it might not be as rich as we thought due to the 87 octane. why did it have 87octane to begin with?

Indeed I did... Today after work, I got out our Longacre corner weight scales and loaded the Coupe on it. I did not laser level the scales as we do for actual corner weighting but the area I used has been tested to be pretty flat. The corner numbers might vary a bit but the overall number is accurate.
Weight was taking with 5/8 tank of gas and as delivered from the dealership (owners manual in the glove box and spare / jack still in place)
Overall weight 3352#
Left 1689# 50.4%
Rear 1537# 45.8%
Cross 1688# 50.4% (changes to 50.1% when I am in the drivers seat)
FL 908# FR 908#
RL 781# RR 756#

The dealership was kind enough to fill up the tank for me.... but it was 87 octane. The car is designed to run on 87 to 93 octane. They rate HP based on fuel used.

I know this wasn't the point of your post, but I've been trying to do something like this with my badges. Thanks for the information.

I will be spraying the new front emblem with Nite Shade again but the rear badge is going to get painted the same color as the car (Nordschleife Gray). I think this will look more subtle than the Nite Shade on the rear.
