Found out more info about my check engine light:
1- Car is running to rich, this is what is causing my misfires. Now I got the AMS Kit with the shitty AMS Chip, any idea's on how to fix besides getting Garrett (GIAC.com) to burning me a new chip for $700.
2- Belt was slipping, this was an easy fix, but man did it look bad on the dyno....car was generating a ton of HP at the wheels on its way to 4500RPM and then WHAM....just fell on its face...
3- If i get the fuel leaned out now, if I try to up the boost more later will I need to redo another chip then @ $700?

Chris J - Yellow GTI VR6 w/ Z Engineering was there and had a nice run for Z with 226 @ Wheels and 221 Torque w/ Z Kit, Schrick Intake and I believe he also has cams.

BTW- My Stats were 227 @ Wheels w/ Slipping Belt and Bad fuel fix at 4500rpm and was still climbing. Torque was 221 ft/lb @ 4500 and was still climbing as well.
Thanks,
