TPMS works great... i have them for quite some time now... Tells u exactly what pressure u have on ur tires when u just start the car on how hot it is when ur on the track..
and it is a great mod to have... even tells u ur voltage

I still need to get tires for the wheels, they won't go on until after Kane comes next weekend. I don't wanna have to screw with the suspension until after the tuning.

I'm tuned bro, the car is running great. I/WE made some VE changes that seemed to have fixed my issues. I was going rich (like 10.0) and it was causing some misfires between 6000-7000rpm under boost. We shall see how things change though, I feel like the cooler weather has attributed a lot to the car running much better. But my tune got screwed up a bit when I added the Synapse DV since my old Greddy was leaking. So I kind of had to start over and I'm glad I did.
But at least now I have some knowledge that I can build on and if I need help from my friends here I can now ask more educated questions. I am running between 9-10PSI of boost depending on which boost gauge you look at. It pulls ******* hard.
I am taking a break from cars for a week and then I plan on getting into the tuning pretty in depth to fine tune some stuff (chase my tail). I could really use Kanes software though, man that would help my math ignorant ***.

You will beat an Evo quartermile time with a stock sized greddy turbo?? I don't think I do.... maybe that EBC really needs to get installed?? I know brettus has the upgraded compressor... forgive my ingnorance (i've been reading all you sarx guys threads lately and I can't remember who has what anymore) but you had yours upgraded as well 9k?

Yes mine was upgraded by AMR and then rebuilt and had a Comp Billet compressor wheel added by Comp Turbo in CA via Turdblown. But yeah even a stock Greddy should beat a stock EVO 10 if tuned correctly, they only make 230ish stock to the wheels but I have seen some make as high as 250WHP stock depending on the dyno.

Hmm maybe the evo on the strip wasn't stock.... I'm pretty sure it was running low 13's high 12's..... at 501m (1644 ft)

i would not do a canyon run or track event with only 93 octane old buddy. Better safe than sorry i say.
We just have too much compression/heat for inconsistant 93 ethanol puke juice running. Live and learn I have.
1-2 gears are ok with 93--revs happen very quickly, but long pulls in 4-5th gears--watch out. Thats been my experience.
Are your ngk plugs at least one step colder?
What are they looking like? Mine have a strange marking pattern on them.
Weather has cooled off here now --temps in the 60's in the morning and my car has "woke up" Yee Ha! Lets go Captain Dan! Damn thing scares me sometimes with my street tires on.

Yeah I just changed the leading plugs (running NGK Bur9's) and cleaned the trailing plugs (stock NGK). They looked pretty dirty since I was running such a rich tune for so long before Kane came. My tune needs some minor tweaking here and there but for the most part runs like a beast. It's pretty scary, I just wanna run around asking people to go for a ride with me but there hasn't been anyone around this week
