i'm sure that intake pipe really helped the cams wake up a bit more no too. that LICP should make a good difference as well. you should get the Buschur street IC as well as the LICP.

I really want to get the Race FMIC because I have plans of going with a big turbo in the future.

Let me know if you have any questions about our tuning process, etc. Looking forward to working with you.

I guess we'll see how the new black does when it comes out. Might be a possible set up.

Honestly I have been putting off this update while as I tried to come up with a conclusion as to why my car isn't making the power it should but I've almost come to accept it. I appreciate the support from all of you!!.

So since the last update I have put on a Buschur LICP and Race FMIC. (BTW the stock UICP will work with the Buschur FMIC, you just need a straight coupling.) Soon after I did a few pulls to check the tune and it seems the tune is still in the ballpark. So we made a few minor tweaks, ran a clean log through DLL and were surprised to see the numbers didn't significantly increase. I think the numbers were ~365hp/355tq or so. I guess I'll just have to accept it. I know for certain the car runs damn good.

I'll be saving up for a UICP, Mini Battery, Ported Intake, and Ported TB next. I'm looking forward to those mods
