I don't get the license plate, it is like making fun of your twin. 
On a side note seeing everyone working on their cl's is hitting me with the mod bug again. Wish I had a good engine builder in my area.

Ok, heres the actual update:
I flashed the ECU this morning. Its an EcuTek Stage 1 RaceRom from Visconti tuning. First, John Visconti is a great person to work with. Hes out of Connecticut and has been tuning with EcuTek for about 6 years now. He ran a group buy on the cable, license, and tune file (with lifetime updates from him). Im running v1.02 right now, and he said tomorrow there should be another update. Hes constantly improving the way this car runs. Hes a dedicated person too, he's been helping people remotely flash their ECUs as late as 1am and he doesnt even take weekends off (he called me this morning to walk me through everything).
Anyway, he changed the timing and fueling to get the car to run cleaner and stronger. There should be ~2mpg gain on this tune and about 10hp. The infamous torque dip is nearly gone. This thing pulls. Whats better is the car no longer has a 7400rpm red line, its now 7800rpm. That means 62-63mph in second, which obviously means 60 comes quicker. The engine sounds better too. The throttle is more direct, heel-toe downshifting is much easier. I pulled out to the main road on my test drive earlier and gave it some gas in second gear. I couldnt wipe the smile off my face.
I posted a video a few days ago of an 86 that had flat foot shifting. Thats coming. Also, launch control. And downshift rev match, similar to what the 370z has. And on-the-fly map switching. And valet mode. And..... seriously, EcuTek and Visconti has some big plans. Theyre not new to this either, they tune tons of cars, and a lot of GTRs are running them.
Cliffs - MORE POWER!!!
Another update tomorrow evening
