The stock O2 sensor bottoms out somewhere in the low 11's AFR. What looks like a steady 11.1 AFR may be a sign the actual AFR is much lower than that.

Woot LTT in the 5s
My LTT is in the 5s.....
I hope it stays that low...
OK, here is what I did:
I found two 3.5 inch 90 degree mandrel bent aluminum tubes 29 inches long outside the curve. (They were actually from E-Bay--- OBX made them)
Hack saw on one of the tubes to fit the top.
Nose and bumper removal.
Small adjust with a hammer and wood block on the VFAD opening.
Hack saw on one of the tubes to fit the bottom.
Moved my stock K&N (for now) to the space in front of the I/C heat exchangers.
Bumper and nose install.
Yes, I am sure it blocks some air to the I/C, but the 20 percent trim is gone.

I have one made for the 570cc secondary injectors and one for the normal injectors.
The flash for the 570s was a scaled MAF flash.
I am not running the 570s, running the Automatic's 440 injectors with the normal Pettit flash and upgraded 14 PSI pulley.

Anyway would anyone be willing to make a nice summary of this thread perhaps. A summary of all the important things to take care of before installing the sc. Maybe some tips and pointers, etc. Im sure Ill be coming back here with tons of questions.

well I've had mine installed for a year and 9,000 miles. No problems, and some great fun.
Jusrt passed my MOT as well, which features emissions control if people are interested.
Just got back from my wedding and Honeymoon driving about the Island of Skye and the north west coast of Scotland.
Amazing wife, and amazing wedding and honeymoon. The roads out there are so awesome!!! Perfect for a SC RX8. Its born for it!
As for the car in its other natural habitat. I did an airfield (auto-x style day) and had the best fun with throttle controlled deliberate oversteer, going mental it was awesome.
here is some inside footage for a some delicious "violin" supercharger whine. I love it!!!!

the sound is nice--and people on the outside can hear it well on track--they always commit about it afterward to me---hear it but not too loud. Turbo has a good sound too--just different.
SOmething new guys----read up about using diesel oil instead of the regular motor oil---we are starting to do that in GA--makes a lot of sense. If yall need more details I can get it too ya.
