Default I think I just found a way to get a free 50 rwhp!!!

All I had to do was wait for my IATs to come down 40-50 degrees LOL

My car feels seriously fast now compared to last month at this time. Intake air temps in august when cruising around were 120-130 on the highway. Now they are 80-90 degrees WOOT! Maybe no my car will run a little closer to some of the the times I see on here. Vegas sux for a turbo car from late june-early sept. Even my SRT-4 is able to blaze the tires in 2nd now compared to august.

If I get tires in time and the track has a little vht on it I might get a 10 sec pass next Wed night

Hey Zombie, I'm about to put an OBX 4inch FMIC on my Z28 w/8.7lbs. What kind of diffrence do you think it will make so much as iat's and performance.

I know but I don't want to get it re-tunned untill I upgrade my turbo, fuel system, and run more boost.
