Yes congrats. You have definitely got the most patience in the face of adversity that I have ever seen.
Believe me, you'll say that about me someday.

Glad the thing's finally installed and that RPW provided some support to help you get it done. Hope you can fix the fuel quickly. Runnin' rich can make for some stinky exhaust.

For a modication that cost you over 700 dollars in all how big a difference would you say it is over just the i/h/e you used to have.

So, overall, do you think it was worth the $800 or so? Any chance of getting real dyno numbers? Did you watch the install- were there any special tools required?

Excellent work overall- your project is definitely the talk of the boards and it got me interested in RPW products (I won't tell my wife it was you, though. I'll pretend I stumbled onto their website ). Cheers

Unfortunately there always has to be a first and he/she usually pays the price for it, but at least he's willing to share the results with the rest of us.

My gas mileage is down because of the rich condition....I hope I can hook up this AFC soon, but I'm always confused with wiring diagrams...they never seem to match what I'm looking at. NE how, I'm sure it will help the 1/4 times, just at the top end of the power band. Was it worth the $?? I haven't had the chance to run it much, but I can tell you the Lancer can now hang with the top speed of the Integra I'd never been able to catch them before now.

That's great news!!!!!

I hate being "left" by cars once we get going. I'm so excited since I was planning to do what you have done.

I wonder how fast I was going?? I know it was illegal and kinda stupid, but it was a virtually empty freeway. Once I hit 4-4.5k RPM, the cam really kicks in and its an amazing rush of speed.

Great to hear its up and running and installation was sorted out. It sounds like I may need to re check our cam specs and maybe drop the stage 1 cam specs down a little as it should really go into the car without any need to alter fuel settings so we will restate that camshaft as a stage 1 1/2 and make a new grind for teh stage 1 sligthly smaller so future customers don't need to fit a SAFC controller.

For your patience and risk of being the first i would like to extend a courtesy discount on any otehr RPW item you purchase in the future. Next time you order something from Visions advise them of this so I can sort it out with visions.

Look forward to hearing your further results in the future.
