Why would i want to rush it to the dyno and produce SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORY number for people then can say thats it thats all that would not be fair to my Car, me, JMS RACING, or the fans. I need to make sure everything is right im not in a hurry and things that need to be changed out for e85 is whats happening right now along with waiting for that STM oil cooler that is now here. People also fail to realize I have to wait for parts to come in and some parts take extreme amounts of time hints my SM exedy clutch one month in a half waiting on parts etc. I dont control that stuff i have to wait like everybody else. AS soon as i get vid of the tuning session selected people will get the vid before this thread sees it trust me. ITS Coming REAL REAL SOON

Exactly...while the fans/companies are awaiting, you as the owner are waiting as-well so it's like you want to see it first to

As for the taking time part and not rushing into things is what I would do as-well if I were doing a build this huge too, no doubt!

Next week is when I install the headliner, most likely will be Thursday or Friday, can't wait

not to much more stuff i can really get preformace wise besides built tranny and tc. Maybe repowdercoat calipers but thats not a preformace mod. I got all the upgrades i needed to run e85 effectively. JMS made me a double pumper so im covered there for sure.


P.S. MELLON TUNING YOU HAVE BEEN PAID FOR THE INJECTORS INSTANTLY AS PROMISED 7:56am!!!!!!

Well Im glad that is nearing done lol. I am decideing if I want to go E85 with a split map tune for 93 as well. I think I will wait until summer so I can save for a Double Pumper and larger injectors and then turn the wick up on the FP Red.

Tuning my car has been the single most frustrating experience.,.....seriously it could drive you to sell it, LOL. I'm finally working with someone that knows what they're doing so we're just dialing in fuel trims now. Then the fun begins. My car ended up being a build of sorts. I'm not postign anything until the final product is finished.

i agree no point in e85 without a double pumper system for sure. Also as per my research and others FIC 1450cc are perfect mix and will get the job done no need to go higher unless your shooting for the Moon.

wait till you drop the built motor and head in there then the real fun begins. I TOLD YOU TO JUST LET MELLON TUNING HANDLE IT AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. Besides you have that new turbo thats suppose to be the IT factor so im curious as well what it will do how you liking that mona lisa i got you boss?

AMEN I'm in the same boat on this one. Mine has been down for about 5 months and I probably have another 3-4 untill it's done. FULL build, I quit adding up the costs because quite frankly I don't want to know how much I've spent on the car...over 20 though for sure good thing the wife approves!

Isn't it great when you think you have the best stuff out and someone comes out with something better? Thats how my car snowballed from a simple FP red swap into a full build with some crazy *** goals!

Looking forward to seeing what your car puts down Rock!

good deal thats why i get annoyed with the look how long its taking junk until you do a FULL BUILD everything you will never understand. takes time to gather parts install test tune and before you know it during the down time something better comes along or the issue of since your there you might as well add head studs since your there my as well add a STM clutch fork since your there might as well add a STM SS clutch line. since your there and its off might as well powdercoat the valve cover all of which takes MORE TIME and money. when you lay it down for real you want it done right not some hack and sack fly by night job. if you want that there are plenty of scam shops that can help take your hard earned money and leave you with a pile of junk
