well you guys saw the work I did. Now I'm not going to keep this thread going. It's time for it to move on to greener pastors. I will have a Dyno post in a few weeks with the results and I will bring this thread up then and link to that post (in the dynometer section)

Ok thanks everybody it's been a blast! The car is awesome.

Thanks bad95killer.....

My mother died last Friday and when I wasn't grieving I was turning wrenches. It's been the most therapeutic thing I could ask for in this time of my life. It gave me something ELSE to focus on for a little while as I work through this change in my life and grieving for my mom and supporting my family and their needs.

God Bless this forum

Can't wait to see the numbers for this set-up. I am on the fence about going this route.

Weather permitting I should have some tune numbers tomorrow sometime, if not next week. (if my clutch doesn't slip on the dyno)

No dyno numbers yet I was hoping for yesterday but it rained all day, like it did in Austin last weekend. If it rains next Saturday well it'll be another week! Sucks but I don't dyno my cars in Super high humidty (85% or higher) if I can help it. I also never drive it in rain. In all honesty, other then add my AEM wideband and modify the dual exhaust not much has changed since the first time I got it running. Weather and family matters have kept me very occupied

Hopefully soon!

Talk about a bitch. I wake up today and yet again, Monday through Thursday, perfect weather. However, there is a cold front and low pressure system that will be here on Saturday to bring more rain. I mean, holy **** give me a break! lol that's 4 weekends in a ROW.

Is it not possible for you to dyno during the week? It would be a shame to see you have to wait a few more weeks.

With my mom's passing and me being the first next of kin (read responsible for everything) and the service. I've been out of work a lot lately and doing anything to increase my stress is a really bad idea at this time. I just need to chill out and get on the rollers when I can....it's not like I'm looking for the most perfect weather of all time but no thunderstorms or ice storms is a requirement for me.

No I did not. However, I did have to re-tap/chase the threads for the power steering pump. That was frustrating.

I grabbed some 3.5" aluminum pipe from the shop. My friend through a lip on it and I polished it tonight. It doesn't look half bad take a look. I love my SD tune! It's really awesome. It took a while for me to get the tune right but the AEM wideband and HPtuners made it happen! Weather permitting, Dyno Monday!!!!
