Got the car tuned today! Thing is definitely strong and it felt great to really rip on it for the first time with the new set up.

Have a few issues I need to address though. Firstly, the car was only reading 95% throttle with the pedal to the floor, but it would read 100% if you turned the TB by hand.

Secondly, it was wanting to lean out up top, and with the adjustments the tuner was making it was leading him to believe it was a pump/filter/regulator issue (injectors were only at 75%). Would probably explain the extended cranking times it experiences too. So I'm gonna have to hook up a gauge to it and see what happens

Yeah I would check to see if the floormat is in the way.

When the pump was replaced was is a stock replacement?

This was with the floor mat out. Was showing 93% with it in.

Replaced the pump with a racetronix 255 about 15 months ago. Did the hotwire harness and filter at the same time.

Is your tps reading 0% closed? May need to install a spacer or bend the gas pedal arm a little.

Adjust throttle cable to open TB

The racetronix 255 with hotwire should support 550-600whp on 93 octane pretty good. On my setup, with the same pump/hot wire kit and FAST 36 IBS injectors, I'm currently at 89% duty, staying at target af to 7000rpm.

Appreciate it!

Got to clean the car up after a string of nasty weather and went to a show with some other members!

Painted my valve covers this weekend. Same blue as my calipers. Was going to paint the coils and brackets but couldn't decide on a color so I didn't do it.

Have a line on my dream wheels, so hopefully that works out well too.

Wheels came in today! CCW 505a 19x10/19x11

Trying to get them on by the weekend, just need a few days of polishing to get them where I want them. Center caps should be here in ~2 weeks according to CCW.

Have some Nitto Invo 285/30 for the front, and I'm going to run my current 325/30 pilot super sports on the rear.

Thank you!

Test fit the wheels and I'm going to need a spacer. 15mm should do it.
