Evo X upgrades

Shane called and it isn't really a suction line issue, it is a fuel pickup issue. In a straight line the car runs fine but turn either left or right and it knocks/misfires and all that bad stuff. I have an email in to LJ to ask a few questions about the hanger.

The MAF issue is that it is reading 4.9 volts at the current airflow. Shane speculated that the pipe was too small and that I need a larger one for more airflow. This is an AMS intake pipe and they only sell one size. It's possible that there's something wrong with the MAF but I sent an email to AMS to see what sort of power they've run through one in the past.

He said the car is at 430whp right now but that's the limit for the MAF and I suppose the injectors aren't far from maxing.

Well I am would guess Ryan Gates was still using his stock MAF on his 566whp run...you aren't there yet, so I would guess the MAF is taking a dump. I have heard quite a few people have had failures with them...warranty!

You'd think so. I ordered an ETS intake in case I need to swap it in. I like it better in some ways.

I'm getting close to having to park the car for the season. Too many miscalculations on this project.
