I doubt it. Im still feeling under the weather a bit.
I have an appointment for the car on the 15th this month so Im trying to slam it out before then... and I highly doubt it will happen.
I found out my oil cooler bolt washers are leaking, I developed another fuel leak, WG is still MIA, and I need to weld up a new WG dump pipe since the new turbo wont fit with the old one. So then I need to source a new weld fitting for it.

So...I'm thinking of accumulating parts over the summer (after the wedding) to slowly mod my car. I'm thinking of a set-up similar to Nick's-cams, IX turbo, IC pipes (maybe only lower...which I hear is the more crucial pipe to upgrade on the CT9A platform), intake, IC. Nothing too major.
Just thought I'd share my random mod plans with you guys...

Kelford Stage 2 + spring upgrade. I still haven't seen any before/after dyno comparisons yet.
Of course, if he's up for it. I think it'll be a little while though, as I may wait until the E85 setup is ready. Then again, I'm not known for my patience 
.
The DP I have now is Ultimate Racing's. I really like AMS's because it's cast, but looking at how large their DP inlet is, I'm not sure it would be any different than this.
I suspect I'm fairly close to the other stock frame guys now. If there seems to be something holding me back later on, I might look into it more.
Going to be Nick's guinea pig again?
.
Also, AMS released their downpipe/O2 housing for the X...I don't know if you concluded that the ETS piping is contributing to your dyno numbers...

Anyone know of a drag strip open for test & tune within a few hours drive?
Also, where's the best place local to buy a helmet? Thanks!

Something interesting I found about E85, a lot of people have been complaining about a "gunk" build up on injectors. Its very odd considering what e85 is. do some searching on it.
Hey Traction, Im curious on why you got the tune from AMS and didn't just wait until the cams were installed.
