Try to post some pictures if you can get them from the shop, just let me know when you get back and we can get started on the things you need help with. I will be changing my springs again here soon. I want a stiffer suspension, most hate it but I like it.

So Mario, what did you have done besides the tune? Oh yeah, it's about time you made the trip to Dallas to get squared away. I, too have an appointment in about a month to take the Mamba to the next level. I'll see you fellahs soon.

I installed Nisei full pipe kit, Spoolinup COP, and a Boomba TB. I then had Kevin install a boost controller, a walbro, and then had him tune.

That is great my friend. Things are coming along quite well for you and I can see that you are focusing on keeping things responsive due to your autox adventures. You have to send me a link to that COP set up that you have as I've thought about getting a similar product and I'd like to do some comparisons. Did you go with an EBC or MBC? I have to make a trip to Dallas as well when I get home. I've bought a few parts since being here and need a few things done to the Mamba when I get home. I've bought a 3.5" FMIC, APS twin vent BOV, EPM O2 dump pipe, 1200cc injectors, map switching harness for E85 tune, and had the OEM exhaust manifold ported and black ceramic coated by MAP Performance. I still need to buy the boost, oil pressure, and A/F ratio gauges.

I'd skip the A/F gauge unless you are getting a wideband. I am setting myself up for a BBK in the future. As for boost control. I got one of those KevinD specials.

The reason why the A/F is needed is because of my future corn mix. So, it's be BBK, huh? I'm glad you are deciding to go a bit bigger as that BBK has proven to be a monster regardless of the fuel used. You've always taken you time with your build is a quality that I've proven I clearly DO NOT have. For the boost controller route, did you go with this product? And you mean to tell me that you don't know if it's electronic or manual?

Shawn, great looking out with the gauges. Send the pictures along with the price to my "regular" email address of: levar.wilson@us.army.mil. I can't wait to see you fellahs!

A/F comes in 2 Wideband and Narrowband ...pretty much the wideband runs more volts and plugs into the DP ...and the narrowband connect to some misc wires LOL it's a freaking lightshow...I know i've installed both

Agreed. I had a narrowband on my DSM and it was just plain annoying at night.

Anyone have a spare Transfer Case that I can buy off of them? I need to send a TC into ShepTrans when I come back in January so that I'm 100% when my tour is over later in 2010
