I'll reiterate that I think something's amiss with the software install. We shall see.
Again, thanks for your input.
2 lame pics posted. More to follow.
OK, it could be that it's just not working, that did happen to mine after they made a change to the airbox. Later that got fixed by replacing the DTronics module and the better performance returned. I claimed and documented a difference from stock to Stage 2 and Stage 2 to Stage 2 plus DPs. I posted Vbox numbers for all of it. I think some of them are on another thread. Right here is where I posted the first runs before the airbox got fixed and the car was straight Stage 2. When I ran against boots the DTronics had quit working. They swapped it out after I got the down pipes in and the the vbox results of that are here.

I still need to take it out to the better road that is flat and smooth and 1 mile long. Then I think I will get even better results.
