Thanks guys, I'm just glad we got the tune a little more figured out. It was giving me some fits early on. Still not perfect but it's a whole lot closer anyways...

Drew, did you figure out all the ground issues and all that you were having? I never saw a post about the fluctuating oil pressure gauge issues, bad coils/injectors, and all those other codes.

It's just weird to read that the tune is ironed out now, when there were MAJOR issues with the install. Either way, glad you got her running right!

Yeah man, it was the ground on the back of the drivers side head. Tightened it down and all my problems cleared up just like that. Idle is still a little up and down but it does seem better than before. I haven't had the internet for the past few weeks that's why I didn't post about the other problems. We were moving and I shut it off a few weeks back. I drove the car about 5 hours home last night and it drove awesome. Very nice setup, I'm enjoying it quite a bit, it's nice to be able to sit back and enjoy it finally. And you're right, it seemed like every corner I turned there was an issue there to deal with, but it all got figured out and we're rockin' now! You guys were great to deal with me calling everyday almost lol. Thanks for all the help man, I'll definitely be coming back to you guys in the future! I'll be calling Jason later this week to touch base with him too.

Now I just need some track times!!

No, the exhaust setup is perfect in my opinion. No rasp, no drone. I love the sound of it.

That thing sounds sweet. I had the same problems you did and it ended up being the same problem. Glad you figured it out and tuned it.
