Ok....Ill jump in.

1)Fireboy...lets see some numbers and graphs. I believe they were posted in the FI section (even here temporarily) but there were may questions left unanswered about your set-up and tune.

2) Lets see what happens in the upcoming months and how happy you are there.

3) How many miles and dyno runs do u have on your set-up?

4) How many aftermarket FI set-ups have you done?

5) Are you past your "boost break-in" period? lol

I don't even get PM's from them anymore. I've been around for years and seen and heard the horror stories from multiple different platforms.

FYI, the guys who built your set-up are MUCH more reputable than the one who tuned it. But you would know that from all the research you did.

How was the boat ride?

You're right about that. 5.0 mega pixel camera phone FTW! Usually people just think I'm making a phone call, but really I was taking ninja shots.

I think you may want to do some research on how to break in a motor properly. What your owners manual says is NOT actually how it should be done on high performance set-ups.

Here...Let me help you out.

Like Mike said. I know its a "coupe" thanks for that tidbit. Its a car for people that are to "delicate" to drive a sports car, or because they think its "baller" status.

Now run along and play while the grown ups talk.
