Nope. I hadn't done any APC tweaking. I read about it, considered it, and then decided it wasn't worth the bother for me, since I was going to do the other SPG9 mods anyway. So I just did a swap with my stock unmodified APC box. It was the simplest upgrade to do, too... took all of 10 minutes to remove/replace the old one, and that's only because you transfer the two mounting brackets from it. You don't open either box.
Tweaking the pots would probably make me crazy, anyway. As a test pilot I'd be out making hundreds of runs to try to optimize the thing. In my case, the SPG9 answer was the way to go.
With the SPG9 Stage II APC, RRFPR and new balanced/matched oversized injectors, the AID, and a couple of other SPG9 goodies (new hooter and wastegate actuator) the Beastie gets 30 mpg highway, boosts to 2/3 redzone when I want it, and seems very content idling and running with idle timing set to 22 degrees BTDC. I've got a stock air intake and exhaust. The car can really haul freight when I put the hammer down, without making a lot of noise otherwise. Total cost for the SPG9 bits was around $1100, I think, with trade-in of old wastegate and stock APC.
