post some graphs etc backing up your claim the upper ic does something. LOL you would be the first to say that and prove it good luck with that one. The lower yes helps aid in spool but the upper is just for looks buddy.

Rock is right. On a mildly tuned car like yours, the UICP doesn't do anything power-wise and a LICP may give you a few consistent HP. Maybe. It's no secret. Hell, if you can find a single relevant dynograph illustrating "gains" on a mildly modded car, you're one step ahead of the rest of us.

Rock, this thread is huge! Have you driven the car yet? When do you expect to have it?

Then, after you're not mildly modded, a LICP will help some, but the UICP still won't do much. Good luck.

NOPE i have not seen the car since second week in april. Im 7 hours away from the shop. I do not plan on going down there until its all done suited and booted no point in doing that. Not like shop is 1 hour away type deal. I probaly will not get the car back until january or later because im swapping the evo with the Z and for the Z i still have parts to get

willwood front big brake kit
3.5 ve built motor

I have everything else turbo cams and thinking if i want to at least port the heads. The evo will be done and tuned video and all for the thread of course. I will just not have it until i get Z parts. JMS still has to make me a double pumper for the evo so i can do e85 but i fiqured to car will be ready for dyno tuning early next month trust me the Video will be posted deciding if i want to get FIC 1650 injectors for this e85 thats newly availble here jorge is tuning a evo this weekend with them so we shall see how it runs idles etc with them for e85 before i take the plunge.

again your making min gains you will be lucky to gain 1whp if even that from the upper does not matter very much in the equation of things just hurts your wallet spending a ton for nothing.

waste of money to get short route. I dont mind the battery up there i rather it be there anyways i can do other things with my trunk instead. I have a custom Makeshift ams lower for the Fp 3" ss race pipe you know that pain in the *** pipe to mount LOL. I have dont so much work to get my injen upper system to work its staying put nothing wrong with it comparted to other upper ics i dont buy into the hype of other companies like most do

BTW i several AMS parts on this car that they only made or had the right fit but i gets no love from them LOL
