Oh Shizzz....
I was driving down the 163S, I downshifted to 5th, sped to about 95, and then dropped the car into neutral to coast down the long hill near Friar's Rd. Then I noticed the Check Engine/ Brake lights turned on. I was like, WTF?
I put in the clutch and shifted into 6th and then everything was normal, so I'm assuming the engine stalled and then re-started.
Everything's fine after that incident, don't notice any performance drop or anything. Did I mess up my engine at all? Your opinions are appreciated....
(Yes, I'm an idiot, I already know this)

There have been others who have experienced this when shifting from a high gear/speed into neutral. Theres nothing wrong with your car....but leave it in a gear while you're moving ok...

can anyone swap pumpkins here, as in the gears. I have an auto G 3.2 FD with lsd i'm about to swap to the 3.5 FD with lsd? I herad that swapping the pumpkins is a pretty easy task. Also does mileage really effect the gears.

If you leave your cats alone... and do headers / plenum etc... you will gain more HP... ECU reflash doesnt allways fix everything..."

Aren't you supercharging your car?
Leave the cats and the plenum alone and be happy with the safe setup HKS will provide. Your car is gonna be faster than 99% of Zs on the road

interesting. thanx for your input guys. this is my first venture into fi, so i'm a total noob about this, hence my choice of moderate vs extreme-power fi, but from what i've read, isn't flow really important with fi? you're right, playa, hks says their stock sc kit will be lean with a/m breathing mods, but ts is saying they can install and tune my hks kit with breathing mods for more hp than outa the box, so i've kept my crawford headers and ypipe and was thinking about adding some hfc and a 1/4" plenum. i guess i'll be the first i know of to try this with the hks kit.
ps: actually, hks want you to buy their $1400 vpro in order to tune for more hp with a/m mods. maybe ts can accomplish this without it?
