Dan, you mind if I swing by Monday or Tuesday and we can brainstorm on getting some more ground clearance on this turbo piping.

Yeah that's fine, I've done two sTS kit and not much you can do or they would of made the kit like that. Cant really lower ya car on dd on these crappy Louisiana roads. U can but will bottom out. If it were me I would sell and do heads/cam and make around same power or more depending on how many lbs.

Just had Todd tune it. He knows his stuff for sure. Your not going to find another tuner around here willing to put in that kind of time and effort. The car is a beast now. Night and day between the last tune. I definitely recommend a BlueThunder2 tune to anyone. As far as the clearance of piping, I think I've got some ideas. Just gotta run by Bearing Services.

So Todd just wrapped up my tune and what can I say, "Hands down he's the best tuner I've came in contact with." Any tuner who puts his time and effort into a tune like Todd does deserves rave reviews. And let me say he has put some time in tuning this 5th gen and has even came by my house to ensure I was happy. No where probably would you find a tuner that would do this, no where! Enough about who he is as a person. As a tuner he's amazing. The car pulls so much better and slams through the gears with no problem. He was willing to show me every table and explain to me why he was making each change. There's not enough I can say, I will leave it at "WOW!" Thanks Todd!

Yeah, I lost about $2K from the bad tune. I never used a "hand held" though.

Man the weekend flew by! Fixed the window motor in the car, rattle canned the hood, recharged the a/c, and cleaned it up for a night out. Hopin to see the new hood in another day or two and after about a week of it on the car to form better then I'll pull it off to have it and my SS spoiler painted. Then it's back to the mechanical stuff like a new clutch to start with then so on and so forth. Just glad everything is coming together for it again cause I had just about decided to sell it because of the frustration of not being able to do anything to it.
