Yeah at least it avoids gas gussler tax I suppose.

Unfortunately with them still being Government Motors, they have to focus on that crap

At least he got the car running perfect with a very safe tune.

Posted a few pages back IIRC here it is in case I didn't

The squeaking is the header on the driver's side, I have since fixed it TSP headers have the worst fitment ever. Next mod will be LED fixed lights, then window tint, then plasti dip the rear fascia on the bottom. Headlights are going to shave some lbs off the car, the stock ones are apparently pretty heavy.

Yes they are, mine was doing some ****** wierd **** like the interior lights were staying on, all because it wasn't charging enough. I said screw it and went back to stock.

Their stuff for my WS6 fit fine, their headers were cheap as hell though everything else is 12-1500$ for a C5, and I couldn't afford the kooks which is what I wanted.

Thanks, I like it, and I am happy with it. Been waiting to get the cam done for a while.

Its all good haha. I am on almost all of them because I've owned 1-2 of every GM car that is RWD with a V8 since 1998 except a C6 or a CTS V.

I need injectors too, the ones I bought were too much for my application, can't afford them for now.

I went and looked at a 5.0 over the weekend, the transmission already had issues lol it was an M6 car

Why were they too much? What lb's were they? I rather have a TOO big of an injector than a too small one thats for sure.

They were 60 lbers I just resold them for what I paid for them, I took Jeremy's word for it he said just sell them and get 42 lbs ones, because I have no idea about fuel injectors; I'll just get some new ones when I port the heads eventually

I would've just kept them.

Fuel injector duty is always based on the power output you put out you could have 100lbers but if its at 2% duty cycle its not spraying what a 100lb injector would spray. Given a bigger injector than needed (way bigger) is a bit harder to dial in when tuning but its only when its a HUGE injector, also running injectors at a high duty cycle makes them more prone to failure, which in re turn will lean out and create some havoc. Id never run stock injectors with a cam or H/C setup.

Heres a cool vid of 2000cc (200lb/hr) ID injectors on a stock integra.

Yeah Like I said I took his word for it. No big deal, I didn't lose any $ on them. I'll get some new ones after I save up some more $$ and get ready to do my heads

I had a dream last night that I was t-boned in the Buick . Woke up sweating.. It got me thinking though.. Would I replace the Buick with another? Or would I try and get into an LS car like a C5 Vette or something.. I am not sure at all..

Its dependent on the injector. My buddy had 1000cc FIC's in his rsx and it wouldnt run worth a ****. However the 1000cc RC engineerings run jsut fine.

dafuq RC's are ****. FIC's are proven performers. My buddy who tunes actually did a back to back test from RC to FIC (iirc) and the car picked up a handful of WHP. Because of the better spray pattern/atomization. RC's spray like an OEM injector (****).
