Can you post up your proof of your claim in that post, your data log files, your wideband results and your dyno results?
Re: I'm going faster...but not enough yet
Running a car off the alternator by itself is not an issue for modern cars. It is a real solid test of the voltage regulation system, and I used to do that for that reason.
Sounds like he was intimating that the system was not back to normal till 5xx miles of driving.

The car runs without a battery, not the same as a bad one. I had my battery disconnected, and then brought the car in for emissions testing and the sensors where not online, it took 598 miles till the scan tool showed everything to be emissions compliant. During this time the afr was runing rich from idle on up, it started getting better but didn't reset the emissions sensors till we went 598 miles. I originally thought the tune was wrong but after speaking to Jerry at LET he had the same problem with his C32. Easy to confirm. Disconnect your battery for a few minutes then reconnect now use a simple scan tool to check the engine status it will tell you what emission sensors are off line, same ones which I listed in another post, 3 of them. You will be driving around for a while till they come back on.
Re: I'm going faster...but not enough yet
This happened to me when I first took delivery of my SRT6.
They rolled it off the truck in front of my work - and the first thing I did was run over to the shop for a smog test - less then 100 miles and it failed. (no sensor reading from the OBD port) - I had them check the air pressure on the tires and proceeded to cruz down PCH and over to Decker Canyon Road and just let her rip...12 miles of some sweet twisties....
Got back to the shop and passed smog no problem then ran over to AAA and got that bad boy registerd and insured.
