I've got some suspension toys ready to go on as well!
I'm pretty excited about them.
C6Z06 front and rear sways, shocks, and metal end links.

One of my friends from Dallas came over this weekend in his silver '05 M3, first time inside one and it was pretty impressive. I've always liked BMW's they seem to be well rounded in most aspects of the car. Still not sure what the heck the trans was.. it was an auto but had different options for shifting points, paddle shifters, and also could manually stick shift. I've seen auto cars that have a slap shifter (up and down) but nothing this complicated, probably the norm now though huh. Anyways it had a blower on it and put 400rwhp on the dyno.
Launching wasn't that great, it didn't really seem all that fast in lower gears, 3rd and 4th is where i noticed the biggest difference. Biggest thing was it got crazy on the corners, i looked at the speedometer and we were going 120+ around some pretty tight corners, felt like it wanted a lot more too..
Anyways, overall it was a pretty nice car. How do yall like them?

Never been around an M3 personally, but I like a BMW. I've always wanted a 7 series. Doubt I'll ever have one, but if it was ever among a purchase choice in my budget at the time, it'll be my choice.

If you're running AC what I did may not work the same for you. I had about 4 spots to choose from that didn't need to be tapped. One's behind the DS motor mount and the other is in front of the PS motor mount. They threaded right in.

Ok, this is weird. Everything is buttoned up, no more codes. At idle, everything is fine, but if I give it any gas, all lights start flickering. Any thoughts?

I wasn't trying to say that he shouldn't reach out for help where it's available. More power to him. I was just giving the logic behind the numbers. People also get notifications for the FB group. I'll admit, I look at the LSxMonsters more than this thread

That's what alcoholics call "a moment of clarity"
Seriously, his description wasn't great. I wasn't about to rattle off potential solutions and problem solving ideas. I figure a common car 20-50 lights in it, so saying the "lights flicker" just leaves me with more questions then ideas. If it was dash lights/gauges, I find it hard to believe that an intake and KS swap could yield such an issue, but like I said, he wasn't very specific.

I couldn't be more specific. I give it gas, all lights flicker. Let off, they stop. If I unplug the negative from the battery while running, everything is normal. Anyone's guess is as good as mine.
