How will that help limp mode? Doesn't the ECU base limp mode off of airflow/load correlated to throttle position?

Actually it as nothing to do with "limp mode" , that issue was fixed 4 days ago . I'm more saying that it will be nice to run the car now ( with the new mani ) without having that "limp Mode" issue - I should've been more clear on that one .

Thanks man . Well , this car is a whole new ball-game ! With the twin Mivec Cams these cars seem to be a lot more friendly to mods then the 8 or 9's . Allowing the motor to exhale a bit better will wake it up . The power gains expected are up in the air at this point , but I will go out on a limp and say they will be nice I will be posting up the gains we get in the next few days ..

I'm just asking since it appears that you might bog the hell out of it? No?

I don't doubt the ability to "flash it in just a few"... But I wouldn't run a car throwing parts on without any way of ensuring the parts aren't going to cause me to run rich enough to wash the cylinder walls down with fuel... Been there, done that... Lesson learned...

Yeah I hear you man . I may run it at low boost just to get used to the car but nothing more ! I have a few biggie backs I can install and even a standalone but I will be waiting on the flash which is much cleaner on the install - lol .... I've been working on cars since 94 so at this point I've also been down that road and at this point in my life I have patiences to wait .

There is a wideband hooked up and with each mod it is being monitored. Anyways with how the 10 is, it is more correct to say the car would be more prone to washing the cylinders in stock form. So I doubt running rich is a problem on anyones mind.

Can't wait for tonight Frank, I'm ready to see some 12's.
