Are u done with your installation yet? My car takes a bit longer to start than normal.
Yea, I finished last weekend (by last weekend I mean saturday the 17th)

Mine runs pretty well. I have to admit my auto tranny sucks and it is looking like I need to re-flash my ECU from the factory becuase it seems to be acting finicky (aka a low idle even with a new ignition coil).

The car runs great otherwise.


A UDP allows your car to rev faster. Good Upgrade and probably my next bolt on. However it will probably come after some suspension mods......


A cam gear works great if you plan on taking your car to a dyno and tuning your cam timing. Other than that it is a waste of money if you don't intend to bring the car to a dyno. It would sit there and look pretty (or if you leave your belt cover on... not look like anything)

Is it recomeneded to dyno the car? to get a dyno done it's like $150, right. so what size cam does every one agree on the 10 or 12, and is any one running either?

I have a cam 12 and so does freerider. U don't have to go to the dyno but u go there if u want to get the most horsepower out of your car. U go to the dyno if u want to advance or retard your timing on an adjustable cam gear.
It just depends how far u want to go with the car. How far do u want to go?

Maybe youall can help me, straight stock mine was a mid 17 car. thus far i have done the exhaust, cam gear, cai, header and pipe, and tricked the IAT with a diode. after all that the car is still in the mid 17's. what gives?

actually the diode helped a bit, it tricks the IAT into thinking that the air is colder than it is. the computer then adds more gas.

no the diode is doing absolutly dick. the computer works the way it wants to. no offence but ou wasted your money. i hate when people sell that crap it just pisses me off but anyway, if you want some real power to get you into the lower numbers turbo it or do a swap. check teh stickies

U also got a cam gear without an upgraded cam. That's a waste of money too. U wouldn't want to advance or retard timing on a stock cam. With the mods u have you probably got 10 hp. U wont feel much of that.
