I live 3:30 hours from AMS. I talked to Chris, the tuner at AMS and he sent me a tune to get me there safely. Although it is really going to suck having to baby the car the whole way there!
When I talked with him I made sure he knew this was a DD and needed reliablity but also needed to be fun on the way to work (abuseing the raliart is >> a cup of coffee
) and on the weekends. To avoid any big torque spikes he said we would taper the boost in and focus on more higher rpm HP. I'll be honest I don't know much about tuning but I hear AMS knows their stuff

. I think they should have a pretty good idea though of what the ralliarts are putting down stock on their dyno.

Stock Ralliarts put down around 192-198 on our dyno. Keiffer87's car with the X turbo and supporting mods, with a safe reliable tune should put down around 280-290 repeatable real world hp. This will make the car FUN and keep his trans around a while.

Did you guys end up having trouble with the shop ralliart that put down 305/309 with X turbo? I was hoping to break 300whp with my setup but of course keeping the trans around is my main priority.

I'll have to get some pics up soon. Wednesday I am actually starting the install. I will try to get a few pics here and there but I want to finish it up asap so pictures won't be my main priority.
I moved the battery to the trunk yesterday. Going to order up a sealed Kinetik battery tomorrow, my buddy owns a remote start/stereo shop so I can get them at cost. I do all my car work up there, $80k+ worth of snap on tools and a lift make working on the car much more enjoyable.

Picked up my UICP and Intake from my buddy today. I think they turned out awesome. I'll have to get some better pictures than just my iphone but you get the idea. The pictures really don't do them justice. Tomorrow afternoon will be the big install day. Hope all goes nice and easy
