I'm still pretty happy with it although i do have to get back under there and see if the way i moved those rubber holders around is still holding up ok. More than anything i just want to be able to drive around with the windows down and really hear it... i can' t wait for spring.

definitely want to get it tuned after a few more mods. Ideally i'd like to buy everything i need to get over 300hp and then get it tuned :P



I work for Progress Energy and i know the manager of the drafting department... i'll try and talk to him tomorrow and see what's up.

You playing xbox or ps3? If it's ps3 you need to shoot me your s/n on there so we can play

tuning off the stock BCS, i think she was spiking 24psi and tapering to 18psi by redline. About how a stock car will react in cold weather

the car LITERALLY only had a Buschur TBE(catted) and a K&N drop in filter.
It was there because i installed a clutch in the car(along with the help of jason at Epic) and we tuned it.

By far one of the strongest factory cars we have had. We totally left it alone after it cracked 300.
Hell the car came off the lift and on the dyno and put down a 270baseline

no, i put on a forge (18psi) actuator and still have the same issue. I guess next step i will try to hookup the vac lines back to the stock solenoid and swap the hotside to a ported one.
speaking of which,lmk if u guys know someone selling a ported hotside.

fo sho !!!

Tuning probably will help a lot, especially if you are still on the stock fuel map. You are probably so fat it isnt funny. You need to bring it down and have it looked at.

yes he is a full bolt on car with fuel pump/mbc and full exhaust/intake and piping with no tuning what so ever. that computer is prolly struggling to compensate for all the fuel/air and freaking it out thinking something is wrong

we can get it on the rollers anytime tomorrow afternoon im sure man
