So how's the setup Goose? Have you been using your high boost or you're still enjoying your low boost? I was running mid 11's A/F lately because of the weather and I had to bump the Temp Compensation +1 across the board to get it back to low 11's, I'm pretty sure you are ok since you have a very conservative A/F.
Conservative may not be the word. I typically see 10.5 in boost, and sometimes even high 9's!! Perhaps Julian saw this was necessary during the tuning session, but I may try to bring them up to the low 11s to see if any knocking happens.

I haven't had much time to play with the car recently. I've been away on business and have otherwise been too busy. Hopefully that will change the next few days.

hhmmm that I guess combination of weather + it can be hot at Julian's shop so he had you setup that low. I think high 10's and low eleven should be a good area for safety.

By the way I bumped my Boost Map at area 5000-5500 and added +3 and that seem to help me hold boost (around +/- 8psi) until mid 5000 before it dropped, before I was dropping PSI before I even hit 5000rpm. Keep us updated on your findings after heat wrapping the exhaust.

I try to stay at that area or even high 10's. In the summer 80+deg I usually hit high 10's to low 11's, I rather have that extra safety

When you let go of throttle after cruising or boosting, does your AFR richen up and hold there for about a second before going lean?

For how long? when I'm WOT and let go of the gas, I still see my AF the same (Rich) until couple of hundred rpm before it goes back to lean, this is based on my logs.

From the language, it doesn't seem like Chris was the sender, unless I'm reading it wrong.

Sender was mjones62@uga.edu... So apperently my private information was sent to a 3rd party? Isn't that violation of the privacy policy?

I almost want to say screw it and get my money back. Either that or free intercooler if those prices he's spewin out are being honored.

I know it's not STS's fault as a whole, but as the saying goes, one rotten apple...

It just feels like I bit into that apple and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth

At first I felt ripped off by it being offered for $200 cheaper and him telling everybody there's only x number of kits left, then I let it go, now I'd really like to know what's going on. I don't even have a tracking number or anything, and I'm owed a $400 refund... (legit refund, nothing to do with the pricing fiasco, I was over-charged)

I got a tracking number but it didnt work... My kit just showed up at Forged one day.

Man I feel you I mean 200-300 difference is no big deal but when there are 3-4 prices out there that is a little weird. And now that Daniel has been offered one for 3995 that really pisses me off.

No Daniel's price (3995) was a Typo, he posted this long time ago and I verified this with STS and they all said it was a typo. Don't worry about the email coz you are not the only one who got it.

Yeah I know that. I just dont like that Cube got charged 4995, I got charged 4805, and now I get an email saying its 4450 all in a matter of a week? And the fact that me and cube were told that we bought the last 2 kits and all of a sudden 4 more show up??
