That just sounds like it belongs in an SMH thread on its own.

Don't you mean 8675309? That's what my mechanic Jenny thinks anyway.

Like the new little one they released? I'm having 2 issues. One, my afrs are a little off throughout a pull, but that's not your fault you tuned it with a leak that I then fixed. And sometimes it knocks for no reason. The other thing is sometimes when I take off from a stop my afrs go super lean into the 17s and the car doesn't want to go anywhere, then it comes back to like 14.7 and the car finally goes. I don't know why that happens though.

Lol. I had no idea I spelled it wrong. But now that you told me I'm not sure if I feel like changing it to the right thing. Oh and good looking out, that was mighty white of you.

I don't think you have half those mods in you sig anymore anyway. I though you got rid of the lean tip in problem? I never was able to figure out why it wouldn't go away. I could only duplicate it like once when I drove your car too. Weird.

Perrin pro is the best out there. I have used the grimmspeed as well and it is also very good..Honestly though you will never be able to tell the difference between the two. The perrin is better build quality with better hardware and seems to react slightly faster and work at a lower duty cycle. It does sound like an automatic weapon though

Whats it been, 6 months since we've seen you?

Yeah like the new one..Sounds like a possible fuel trim/02 sensor problem or intake giving you a hard time if it is happening under light throttle. Could also be switching to open loop too early for various reasons.

Don't f*** with me. You're the reason I lost it!

In other news, I heard about some f***ed up customer services coming from our friends in York. I can't believe no one has written a bad review yet!

alright ill get the perrin pro. That stutter and stuff i used to get is basically cured by the synapse bov, i have to really force it to buck like it used too. I do have one of those original ETS intakes that supposedly are garbage. My problem is that i would like the perrin silicone intake but i don't think it will fit with my ETS UICP, and i know my synapse bov wont fit in there with the perrin intake either. The lean tip in only really happens taking off from an uphill type stop, i just have to gas through it pretty much.
