Ok i guess trying to do a burn out with it as soon as i got it is abuse.....
I believe you need both as Scanmaster provides constant monitoring of the O2s and timing retard...of course, if it is in the trunk you should have saved your money.

There's not much you can do in life (with your pants on) more enjoyable than a burnout.If you're driving the car with antifreeze in the oil, leaky head gaskets, wiping cam lobe and/or boost control issues... then that's abuse. You need to get any electronics you have installed pronto... and from your opening posts I'd seriously do every diagnostic that can be done on the long block. Most importantly, a leak down test, compression test, and figure out what the oil pressure is doing. If that can be taken care of with out pulling the engine, there's a laundry list of preventative maintenance that will need to be installed.I hate to sound like a Debbie Downer but these cars like to make new owners jump through SHITLOADS of hoops before they stop acting like jerks. After that, they're kinda fun to drive.
This explains why I couldn't do a burn out very well and the slow spool up. The NA convertors stall at around 1,600rpm which is what I was finding.
And these numbers plus the KR is with the TT chip installed?
nevermind. i overlooked the fact that you do have an aftermarket FP with a hotwire kit.
