Dex the SAME thing happened to my car. I will totally help as long as i am not the one upside down in the car fixing it. It is a wicked pita to get under there but once there very easy to do.

I can attest the LC-1 is a piece of s h i t. Regardless i also know that the AEM is incredibly quick and relatively inexpensive and logable, which is what i really care about. Truthfully i am pretty beside myself because i really dont want to mess up my clean interior setup with a 4th gauge. I have a feeling i might fab the AEM gauge in the ash tray somehow so i dont always have to see it. But either way now that i can log AFR I can tune the begegious out of my car.

well I bought some Plasti Kote Camo black paint today. I am going to see how it looks on one of my helmets. might as well match the car and helmet anyways.


for you guys talking about stock clutches holding, you guys are 75% right. You can make much more power than 325+ on the stock clutch. I have seen 400hp and it last for a long time. Its the torque that kills the clutch along with relentless lauching
I would recommend a stainless clutch line to anyone who is driving their car semi agressively. I have seen very good results on that helping hold more power.

i have no problem being upside down in a car. for some reason i remember helping my dad wire some stuff in the turbo buick down their, so thats not an issue.

i have no clue where i'm gonna put my AEM gauge, i was not planning on having any gauges.

I think i will just stick it in my ashtray until i finish the WB prototype.

just shove the gauge in the glove box. when you need to log it or something, have someone come along with you and hold it. it's pretty difficult to look at a gauge and drive at the same time.

no kidding. need my rockband fix LOL. also whats this leaving work crap? new job?
plus hopefully fixing my clutch would be nice. Shifting is not smooth and 1st gear in the cold is impossible as is reverse from a stand still. having to put it into reverse before i start the engine, is getting old real fast.

Sweet deal, how much for a complete 2 stage repaint (door jams included)? What about the same repaint in flat black?
