Did you take it out for a spin? Any initial feedback?

Only drove it home from DB so far but here are my thoughts.

The car is WAYYYYY better just driving around. It feels very smooth. Shane said he spent like 2 days on just the driveability part and got the fuel very good. He took MAF out down low too which seemed to get rid of some if not all the bogginess.

I did a few WOT pulls, didn't have much space so I had to left off a little early but they were smooth no problems. I also didn't see any knockCEL so that made me happy.

Shane said he collapsed the high and low octane tables to 2-3 degrees lower in the RPM range but left them higher from 5 or 6krpms on up at like 6 degrees or so.

I am quite satisfied for now and will update after some more driving.

Well packing up my car for the winter for sure now...

Just found this at work before I left...

I was praying that I made it home, thankfully I did. The evo gods are angry with me.

In case you can't tell, that is a long strip of shredded belt.

WTF

Im not sure, one of my pulleys is off though. Shane didn't see anything while it was there after 2 days on the dyno, so not sure.

My car likes to break I guess and not when it's convenient.
