only change from that list is I changed to a resonated test pipe from a highflow cat since then.

im good friends with benjy, they tuned it no knock as far as i can remember, and i must say if your a baller on a budget this is a great additive, $1.25 extra a gallon i believe benjy was saying, and just so everyone knows, just doing the AMS resonated testpipe bumpe HP from 395 to 400whp, pretty nice for a cat delete, i believe it dropped around 2tq however, obviously that was made up in the long run.

Considering gas is about $3.00 a gallon where I am that is crazy. It would be far cheaper to run meth in the long run.

A meth kit is quite expensive and I've heard horror stories about pump failures, etc. so I just decided to try something different.
The accelerator is cheaper making 104oct than 100oct is at the pump where you can find it around here.
I plan on building the car further in the future, so I figured I'd give the accelerator a shot and see how it performs. My future plans most likely include EMS in the future and then race/pump maps so I wouldn't be using meth, so for the amount oftime I plan on running it, I feel the accelerator will turn out to be cheaper than a meth setup.

I don't know the characteristics of the accelerator at all so I chose to get retuned to be safe. Going in I was thinking it would allow more timing which turned out to be untrue, and I don't have any datalogger to check for counts of knock. So I got a retune to be safe.
I don't see why you couldnt raise the boost with the product and no tuning, but I'm no expert and I would definitely want some sort of datalogging if I did that to make sure I wasn't destroying my motor or anything.

ahaha I sold my car before I knew the effects... But the kid did blow the motor a month later- had nothing to do with this though. He was a moron.
If you don't mind replacing plugs more often and somehow have an unlimited supply of 02 sensor's than go for it! lol It does boost power... But I just don't know still about how it might effect tuning and the AFR calibration/readings since it has been known to damage 02's.
