Wohoo, I should be picking up my car tonight, smoked.

Need to break it in for at least 500 miles before we tune it, though. Right now the only concern is that with the 280s it seems to be spooling later than normal... however that is also with the cams set to 0/0 and a minimal tune/boost.

UPDATE:
Alky kit problem was due to faulty MAP sensor, one on the way from AMS! Thanks!
Andrew, If you can find it, I believe I have a back-up one in the trunk,glovebox, or on the floor inside the car, you can try that one if you can find it! thanks again to AMS, and your troubleshooting Andrew!

Hey Ludi,
Don't the "bigger" turbos spool up later than stock anyway? The TME spools up way quicker, and even more quicker with the side pipe open! Just wait till you tune it, you will be happy as Hell. I think the 0/0 set is for max hp also! You have the set-up I want, and I almost got it last year, but the wife started to taste the Antifreeze in the food I cooked, so will have to wait a little longer! Life insurance lapsed anyhow!



Raise your hand if you think I need counseling!, Actually I have been married 14 years, and she knows I bust up on her, she has a great sence of humor!

It was Killa for sure, E2L, your car sounds sweet with that AEM intake, I could use you in the fall to pick up leaves in the street, oh wait a minute, I just have 1 Charlie Brown tree on my property-scratch that! My car might be done this week yet, or early next week! Will keep you posted though!

It does appear that the "dyno-rip" will happen beginning of next week, as needed parts are enroute from here and my friends at AMS!

Andrew, If possible/feasable, post picture of blue flame spitting out the sidepipe, and remember, have the fire-extinguisher handy! Good luck, and I hope the tune turns out, and we dont have too many "slipping" issues.

Kevin,

Hopefully the Beast will come alive. Don't worry man you are in good hands with Andrew, he will fix that bad boy up and tune it on the Dyno to make you some impressive #'s.
