well the fixed my ecu by reprogramming it. once they reprogrammed it, they were able to read the CEL codes and we fixed the problem. apparently it had some software problem. Haha, yeah they were trying to figure out why my sensors werent detecting a catalytic converter. Before they could figure out that I had test pipes instead of cats I just told them I would take it home and figure it out on my own. Im just glad this is done with.

They couldn't tell you had test pipes when they started it ?

Did you get to see how or what they used to do that ?

Also was it covered under warranty ?

Haha, yeah, they were a bit thick headed. It sounds nowhere near stock. I was surprised by just how little they knew about my car.

No, there were a few cars in line ahead of me when I dropped it off, so I didn't stick around to watch the process.

It should have been covered under warranty since it was just a reprogramming and a full diagnostic, but my warranty was expired so i don't know for sure. Two days ago, another dealership quoted me the same price and told me it was covered under warranty, so I assume it is.

I want to get some whiteline stuff Jake but not sure which ones to start with? How much do you charge to install? I am on G35driver too. I have Stillen sways kinda thought i should start there with the whitelines adjustable endlinks. Any advice is appreciated.

awesome, I concidered the powerlabs kit and the boosted performance kit as well, mostly because my goal was 400-450 with room to push around 500 if/when I got used to it. I don't see much use for anything over 500 on the street. Keep it volatile and fun without getting too unruley or unmanageable.


Having had turbo cars in the passed I know how addictive boost can be.... I'm interested to see how this kit works out. I might need a ride in it before I decide...

LS swap would be cool, I have rebuilt so many LS motors, and just chevy 350's that I don't want to mess with them. In my experience they are too temperamental for me. Superchargers aren't worth a damn to my unless they are on a high revving V8. Therefore I go with a turbo charger Small turbos have a low spool time, and minimize the harshness when the boost kicks in.

Any route you go though is personal pref, and I don't think there is a wrong route. It is cool to see the LS in the 350 though, not going to lie.
