It feels sooooo good now with that new timing map.

You should be in the 11's....Yes?
The only upgrades I have done since then are an exhaust header and intercooler. I have just been fine tuning the AFR's all week and Mike made some serious timing changes last night.

He did pretty good job on mine. he also had it on there for like 3.5 hours though too. the thing I was confused about, and maybe you guys could shed some light on, ity the dyno curve is not smooth. Kind of wavy towards the top end 5k + RPM. almost looks like a saw tooth.
The car run freakin awesome, but I have a clutch on its way out.

To be fair though, that clutch was only 3 months old and never felt right since the day it was installed.

Good point about the clutch. The dyno curve is perfectly smooth to about 4 grand where the torque peaks at 317. then torque curve gets wavy. the H.P. curve is pretty smooth to about 4800 then gets wavy.
Here i will atached a really bad picture taken with my cell phone of my dyno sheet.
