Sweet :) Stay in touch with me on your schedule, I'll help out however I can! Just keep an eye on the AFRs and I'm assuming you have knockCEL right? These are the most obvious things to watch. We'll see if we can get some consistent dyno testing done though, I am excited to lend a hand.

See, that is one thing I am worried about. MAP's dyno always seems to read almost a full point leaner and Shane for whatever reason said theirs reads differently.
But I do have KnockCEL, so that makes me feel better.
It's hard to see but you can see it is showing rather lean on MAP's dyno.

And if you look here...almost no knock at all the three runs. (minus the spool up knock, which is probably what I am seeing on the road).

And for comparison, my AFR's on DB's dyno.

Hehe spazzy wants to help swap more manifolds! I thought I wore that out of you :)
Do you have a wideband, or is that just from my logger thinking you did and reading your stock rear o2 sensor? Def something to invest in to protect your much larger investment.

Nope, sadly no wideband...its on the top of my list now though...first was manifold...then wideband..then new boost gauge that reads above 30 and then something to lower the car.
Honestly up until this point as I have told people, my car has been on the dyno every few months and I have been changing setups where it didn't seem worth it.
The modding is slowing now though, so a wideband is in my near future, possibly very near.
Tephra's knockCEL has made me not want it as bad though, just because that in theory will help just as much from a sudden catastrophic deal. The wideband will just be nice to make sure the afr's are staying where they should be.
Oh a tactrix cable for logging, that is also in there after the wideband.

And Spaz, I will post up here when I figure out the details of when the testing is taking place.
It sounds like Chris is getting an FID one for this as well...meaning it could be a while before it happens. I Just wanted to get my car there while it was nice out and make plans from there when MAP is ready to test.

Hahaha you have no idea how epic that chocolate milk was! If I just could have had no issues after that it would have truly made my night.

Well picked up the new AMS battery from MAP on my lunch break...ran it home...checked the voltage on it for fun, just under 13V...threw it in...started right up...YAY!
No more weird check system codes..all gone. Tested my MAP switching, still worked.
Let it warm up/idle while i shoveled down lunch...ran to get some new E85 and strangely after the new E85 I put in, the car didn't want to stay running, had to rev it. Not sure why, but it still drove fine, just at stops it didn't feel happy I guess. With just my old gas it was fine though. Probably needs some minor tweaking, maybe just the climate, who knows.
Anyways, drove it to work and its here now. Stopping and dropping it off at MAP on my way home and then I will try to talk with Chris on a schedule for the testing. Man i forgot how a car that handles feels...it was pulling every which way on the shitty roads.
i also threw it in fifth and gave it some gas at a lower rpm to see if KnockCeL was still working good and it was. I am paranoid about that stuff because my battery died all funny so wanted to make sure the Tephramods were still working.
Made one quick pull near work on the DD tune...still feels awesome!
More to come in the next few weeks :)
