Cool. I'm right behind you. I'm going to get the AEM and an oil gauge. They're just so expensive. I hate to spend that type of money on stupid gauges. The only reason I'm doing the APEXi is b/c Cory recommended it. He had the same problem that I'm having.
I'd rather spend that on something where I can feel a serious difference. I'd rather do the MSD ignition or something.

Do u have your gauge or gauges installed?

i got the srt boost gauge pod. you have to cut a hole in your dash, and then slide it in and put a little screw in so it doesnt move. can be easily done with a dremel i think, but i dont have one so i had to get creative with a drill. came out good though

day 10 (5-11-07) - makin progress. a little easier to start. took it onto the highway for the first time today because i had a good tune driving around the neighborhood, and surrounding roads. good at low rpms, but if i try to push it, it goes way lean then way rich and back and forth. car also jerks back and forth which sucks, but dont worry, i know exactly what is going on. i need to mess with my acceleration enrichments. made some changes which will hopefully fix that problem for tomorrow. autotune is working great. on another note, i got yelled at by a neighbor for sitting in my driveway reving my engine (i was actually tuning it not just messing around) but when i said i was fixing it, he said it was ok and walked away pissed lol. i dont like him anyway. deeming today as a success
