...including yourself...

this crap has gotten way out of proportion, and until someone will step up and be the bigger man, this bickering like little school children will never end - don't you people realize that other people like me (who are just looking for information on various kits to make an educated decision about a $7k investment) don't want to hear this **** on every frickin' post about the APS or TS kits?

end it already...

sorry dad, will do just kidding.

But yes, I agree.. I'm beyond sick of it, too and I am in the same shoes.

MIA, I don't think he meant it LITERALLY. I think he was saying that the timing would have been perfect. As in, a CHEVY guy laughing at a FORD broke down on the freeway right as he rearends someone...irony! BTW, you have the longest darn sig I've ever seen!

Hang in there Mia. It's good to see everything is running and looking good. I will be joining you soon with some dyno numbers to boot. My car was running a little lean so the PC had to be sent out again. I have an 02 model so there's been a couple of necessary tweaks. Take care and I hope the personal stuff works out!!

For all of you with other kits, comparisons, negative thoughts, etc. keep it out of this thread, let the guy enjoy his new toy for god's sake.

Hey MIA,
I don't know that it was ever discussed, but is a change of plugs to a 'one step colder' NGK plub recommended or required for this kit, or are the stock plugs ok? Thanks!

I would assume stock plugs would work, but with any FI application it's a good idea for going with colder plugs to prevent heat soak. I got some NGK 1-step colder plugs of Ebay for $36 for a set, not like it's a big investment.

Does anyone have any numbers for this kit? I find it hard to believe that folks have not dyno'd after install. Any numbers would be cool.

Other than MIA, the only install we've been made aware of as complete is projectshervs. I'd be curious to know who has actually completed the install, let alone put 'er on a dyno. Seems odd that so many kits have shipped, yet only one is complete (that the forum knows of)???

maybe they spent all the money on the kits and they are saving up for the install.

Well tell them that they can get a quality install done in San Diego for cheap ... protocav's shop is always open.

You will see some numbers soon .. Rob and I are planning a dyno day for the SD crew

Churchs is a great shop. The guy over there is REALLY knowledgeable as well. As for number I do have some but as stated before I am not at liberty to release them as they are for the summer issue of Sport Z mag. Jim is correct we are trying to get something together down here.
