So the EU isn't sufficient for your hp needs but what about someone like me that is aiming for 400rwhp on 8 psi? Would you recommend the EU, UTEC or just say F it and go with teh VPro? Sorry to steal your thread!

Do you plan on pushing more power down the road? If yes and you can afford the V-Pro go for it. The EU or UTEC would work fine for 400whp and higher. The UTEC can set absolute timing. You tell the UTEC to run 15 dergees advance timing and that's what it does. The EU does plus or minus off of the timing ECU is running. Example if the ECU is running 20 degrees advance timing and you want to run 15 the EU will subtract 5 degrees. Greddy is supposed to release an update by summer 2006 that will allow the EU to set absolute timing. The UTEC can compenstate for wheather changeds and the EU can't, but the EU does have an a/f farget feature that will tune the a/f for you. Once you have the car properly tuned and have the correct a/f and timing maps if the weather changes and causes you to run either rich or lean you can you the target a/f to retune the a/f. Just save your orginal so you can reload when needed. It only take 20 seconds to load a new map.

Default some good news!

Got my wheels today. The caps are on back order so I am playing the waiting game. 12 more days for the HKS FCON!

19 x 9.5 +23 255/35/19 toyo
19 x 10.5 +30 285/35/19 toyo

So far no rubbing, but I haven't really beat the car because I am running rich. In fact I haven't driven it until tonight and even then I only drove it to the gas station to take these pics.

After that....Tein Flex with EDFC and a new paint job some time toward the end of the year. I turned my garage into a bedroom so the car has taken a good beating in the Florida sun the past 2 years. Not to mention I have horrible swirl marks cause the body shop that installed the body kit waxed the car with a buffer. I am moving into a bigger house next month and the garage will only be used for my car from now on.

Mark is for sure great! He did my car too. I had some issues when I got back to Kansas City and he flew out to fix it, hands down the best customer service I have seen. They do some pretty sick cars down there

Thanks Ron! I like them much better than my Asanti's. I wish I could put my Asanti's lips on the Volks though. The lips were much deeper.
