Any ways, please keep this thread on topic. I sent my ECU back to Rob today overnight, so it will get there tomorrow for some reprogramming. Hopefully I'll get it back really soon because I can't stand how my car feels stock now.

ok i took my fpr off. the car didn't show massive gains like i was promised and i know that rrm would say i needed my stock fpr. i couldn't find it so i just turned the aem one to stock setting. i dont know what the difference is but i am sure there is one. i put the stock one on and already i feel a gain in performance. i have not punched it yet, driving like a grandma, but when i do i HOPE the gains i was promised are there.

So after about 60 miles now (60 miles of streight granny shifting), I havnt noticed huge gains. I can feel it alot more when I am in 2nd or third and just punch it. then it just goes and goes. When trying to launch it though and shift hard theres a wired gap in between the shifts. Almost like a pause even with power shifting. I am not sure if that will go away, along with my cel. I will come back and post after 100 miles.

Alright so I fixed the problem. It was in the fuel pressure I apperently zip tied the vacume hose to the other wires, yeah it looked clean but it was pinching the hose, so it was messing with my fuel pressure. I know feel a much better boost in performance its quick I like it, I will drive around some more and give more feed back as I go.

i was about to say if i keep hearing of these problems there would have been a 0% chance i would have got this product. if i hear good stuff about the auto's i'm gonna get this.
wich gives better gains? rpw headers or rrm piggy back?

don't get the piggyback until you're ready for the long term commitment to unconditionally pay for premium gas. if you're a casual racer with not so much money, you can wait til later. but it's undeniable there are gains in this product.
no matter who's header you get, you can still run regular pump gas.
EDIT: sorry, thought i saw something about "wanting to save up for this mod" and thought, if you're gonna be paying premium all the time afterwards, its gonna be hard to get other goodies. especially with these ****ty inflated gas prices.

Amen to that.
It's costing me 3 dollars more per tank. 10-11 gallons. There are gains but as Rhyzin has said for someone like me who goes to the track once every 6 months....
