Good point about the sulfur residue in the oil, but most dealerships or even regular techs would never think of such a thing, especially with the friction modifiers people put into there vehicles such as STP, or almost any engine treatment. I've never personally liked the "fogging" of the MAF, but those ong term values can be altered or "reflashed", and thus lost... lol

Thumbs up It really is awesome

Finish installing my dynotune dry kit today along with my Dmh Performance exhaust cutout. Started out with 50 shot, could feel it set me back in my seat a little but not to impressed. Next I popped the 75 pill in and boy thats when I became addicted, I didn't have any problem feeling the 75 shot kick in, it felt like a totally different car and the cut out sound bad azz. I had three different people stop me trying to find out what have did to the car and one said it sound like I had a turbo on it. They hadn't seen the gxp in over a week so they think I done pu a supercharger or some on it. I also hadn't really drove it since a changed plugs, so plugs, cut out, 75 pill got me ready to see the numbers on the track. The 75 shot felt so good, I stopped in the middle of cutting my grass to go and try it out again and had to finish garss in the dark. To get the recommended distance from maf I had to alter the k&n intake with some 3'' think wall pvc, a 45 degree elbow, and a flexible 90 degree to make it a fender wall intake. I end up with about 14'' between the maf and nozzle, which dynotune recommend 1 to 2 feet so all is good.

as far as the MAF History goes isnt the reason it stores those is to generate a fuel map and i was pretty sure that can be erased or resot just by unhooking batterys for ive minutes

im seriously considering a dry shot now

ya know...they have boards to argue bout this....lol jk...all valid points...but bottom line..if done right the Nitrous is a lot of fun and great gains!!!! I have a wet 100 shot tunned with a FJO mini controller and a Fuel Pressure Safety Switch...that just cusions the blow even more...That FJO is a real treat...set up shift points and RPMs to spray...enable 1st gear spray....you name it...and its plug and play with the tunners..it has a built in window switch...but add that FPSS just as a safety.....and just a side note...i hear so much talk about voiding the warranty...if your going to upgrade...DO IT...or JUST DONT...there really is no in between except opinions...we cant have our cake and eat it at the same time.....right...but to all his own...

Stock Res still in place, cut out after Res along the rear passenger door, changed plugs at 40,000 and went with autolite iridium xp plugs (bout $7 each). I have to work nights Thurs and Fri nights, so Sunday will be the earliest I can get to the track if weather permits!
