Man... gotta catch up on Sal's posts.
But b-4 I do.
Tom, I PM'd a guy that has a set for sale on another board. If they're for sale I'll PM you.
Also, I'm freakin' stoked. After many missed chances and communication problems, I finally got my SCT X-Cal2 back, with the new "cold start" tune and something that helps the "blending value".
This should solve two things:
First and foremost my cold start problem. It sucks when it happens and basically you have to FLOOR it to keep the motor running until it warms up slightly, then it's all good.
Second hopefully this blending thing will make it so perhaps I can get better than 9-10 MPG city driving. I know I'm hard on the car sometimes but not that hard. I can live with 12-13 city because of my extremely short commute. We'll see
The best part... Took it up to the rev-limiter in 2nd and nary a ping, so all is likely OK. Gonna have to find a nice long on-ramp or something to really test it. Funny enough my idle is almost at 500rpm now, maybe a little above. Went from 900 or so from Doug's tune to 750 for the first Blower tune and now down to 500-600....

Tom- Stingers FTW!!!
Sorry guys haven't been on much but with the new job and all don't want to get to comfortable to soon. With that said looks like I have access to photobucket and youtube now.
Looks like I'll have to take the camcovers back this weekend as one of the corners is flaking.
I'll be down Friday through Sunday with the stang so let's plan something.

about the how not to drag race, I wish I could say that that's the only occurence of that, but I've seen that before at the drag strip
