Dyno'd and had some software issues:(

Finally i got LoLa strapped on the dyno yesterday at VF engineering and her first warmup run was @ 337 rwhp and the second time she started pinging and reading the air and fuel ratio it's not smooth and i had several mis fires and at 5k rpm she blew some black smoke we shut the dyno down and Nick advise me to get my software re calibrated as she's going on limp mode... so many variables to think of and I called Mark and Qais at Southbay Autohaus to schedule LoLa for a check up, MAFS, plugs and etc...and hopefully get the new software flashed asap...I should get her back on the dyno soon and back on the POWER!

I'm sure Chris at BMS can tell you what's wrong.

Seemed to me that VF's dyno fan is very small, could be an airflow problem if you are doing prolonged runs. But most often issues like this are caused by software. Which engine mods/software are you running?

Powerchip...I talked to Chris last Monday he'll see LoLa tune tomorrow it's not the fan that creates the problem but the tune ( base from the dyno sheet my Air and fuel ration is not as smooth as the Dinan tune and my timing is way off in the end (5k+rpm) that's why i dyno'd low )...
