i swapped plugs and wires last week due to a multiple misfire situation. then logged the car thinking i could feed it a little more timing. found a **** ton of knock and put the stock timing table back in it due to time constraints oh well.

also got a piece of sheetmetal removed from the right rear tire yesterday, that was cool.

Working on getting it dyno'd. All the good tuners are booked up pretty good so we will see. I'm not in a huge hurry, but definitely want to feel what 15-16lbs of boost feels like in this car before the snow falls. I got a go pro and am using final cut pro. There will be more video's to follow Thanks!!

I'll let you know when it happens. Waiting on Larry@ams to get back to me on their availability. Either it will be glorious or it will pop.

I will be getting hp tuners, but I don't want to try and tune my own car. Tweaking here and there is no problem.

Sounds like it might be during the first week of October. I might be traveling, but if they hold off doing the dyno tune until Friday then I will be able to there. I'll let you know what I hear from Larry.

Yeah, that was disheartening

If they only check over the obdII for codes then you'll be fine. If it's a sniff you might have some issues.

Opened up the tranny to install my billet output tube, only to find that the final drive was stock. When I bought it, the shop I got it from told me it had the billet one, but it looks like they never even opened it to check. We'll see how this plays out.

just did headers, X pipe OTA, stage 2 clutch+LW flywheel, detailed and cleaned every spot on the car, deleted the EGR, wire tucked ECM wires, and changed headliner...that's what a weeks worth of vacation time an $1500 gets you! lol
