Re: Project Lex

No huge updates, but I made a Start-up / Idle video just to show how the car starts and idles with the current setup.

Note that I already had the car semi-warmed up. I have a complete lack of any sort of idle control devices (FIAV, IACV, etc). Literally just a TB with an idle adjustment screw, that's it. So when starting from a complete cold start, the car still starts fine but I hold the throttle at about 1500rpm & count to about 15 just to help it warm up a little. Then I let off and it idles just like this. Very happy with how it starts and idles, especially with the lack of idle control devices. I think a lot of that has to do obviouslly with Vlad's tuning and the AEM Infinity, but also these FID 1600 injectors do a great job as well. Also these cams are fairly mild (268 w/ 9mm max lift) and don't seem to add a significant amount of lope, help keeping idle fairly smooth as well.
