Don't forget the both of us almost getting pulled over!

I'm still up in the air on your short-shifter. Maybe if I hadn't driven it through dead-stopped traffic I could have experienced it more!

Also, don't forget to cash those lottery tix! :) Hope you had a good bday man!
Thanks! It was a very fun birthday and I'll get those tickets scanned today.

I really wish I would have had you drive my car to Rogers to better experience the short-shifter; I do really like it. Oh well, we'll add that to the "next time" list too!

LOL no kidding! I swear, my TX plates saved me from getting pulled over twice this week by the always friendly MN Troopers. My guess is they wanted me for tint or front plate until they realized it's not a MN car.

Awesomeness! Great numbers! The motor is still tight and new, Now go out and whip that horse a bit so you can free up some more horsepower. ;P

Yep, confirmed the X is a great road tripper, On my DD, you numbers on the mileage are identical to what I experince. One thing I did note though my 70 mph is the sweet spot for optimum mileage. (27 mpg)

As far as the numbers game goes on the dyno between cars, different days and different conditions, lets just leave it at that. Bummer Kracka did have a baseline to see how much power he gained, but timing is sometimes a bitch. Glad you were able to show off the new ride while in MN, wish I could have had a chance to drive it before you are gone. Have a safe trip home.. see ya in the SB.

Luckily it's an easy drive and I'll be back. Sorry I forgot your antenna on Thurs night, Scheides has it now though so you can grab it from him whenever.

I say my buschur exhaust is the reason i am so much higher than you guys, lol.

Pretty much a straight pipe, so fair guess.

FMIC (Perrin and AMS are at the top of my list right now, cast endtanks are a must for me), o2 housing and downpipe (Megan? Rexpeed? AMS?), and crank down the wastegate arm a turn then go see Shane again for a retune next summer.

Love the Perrin, but hating the fact that they used powder coating on the Stealth model. I might get an ETS anodized in black and sell the Perrin (assuming they send me a new one under warranty).

But after seeing lomker with a lot more bolt ons do the same power, scheides and you...maybe my car "was" strong, maybe thats why it blew up, lol.

Once again, you basically have no exhaust and you can hardly hear my car. I was even running an HFC at the time...

Luckily it's an easy drive and I'll be back.

Wish I could have made one of the events. My schedule blows at times.

Install looks nice! I like the 1 piece uicp! Yay shane! What did you car put down as the baseline?

We didn't get a good baseline since I arrived with the MBC set at 11 psi (just installed it and babied the car to DB). I think Shane was making a bunch of changes while we were also in the process of getting the boost set so it would be tough to even guess.

If you get a new silver one as the warranty replacement and want to sell it cheap so you can get an ETS let me know; I'd possibly be interested in buying it off you. Perrin has offered me a new one for $500 shipped, but at ~$400 I'd bite immediately.

You've obviously got the hook-up at Perrin. I should be able to sell it for the same.
