debating on whether to get HTG's clutch kit when my bonus gets here in March or spend the G on something else (or heaven forbid, save it)

Not good news. Sounds like a plumbing leak..

The caulk around part of the tub was separated in a section and water was leaking down. I removed the caulk and re-caulked the tub last night. I have to do the same thing for the other bathroom.

Ok, I just called them earlier, Im runnin the FMU as well, they say dont get on it at all. that it was running lean in vtec and nick was aware of it. They reccommended not hitting vtec and getting the e-manage ultimate and larger injectors installed. Does this sound right?

They quoted me 1935 for everything

parts, dyno, labor

I'm pretty sure shittles or civicinva just got a different tuning disc for his vortech FMU

My stock Vortech setup was really lean too. Inline told me to make sure I dont push it especially in longer gears like 3rd-4th. Probably saved my engine. I got a $50 recalibration kit to fix it. Is it going to be as great as your e-manage? Nope. Not even close, but it's not as lean now. I'd consider it a good temporary fix. Not sure if that helps you at all.

Yea, what he said

[QUOTE=O-turn,Nov 9 2006, 09:58 AM] I planned on going to an engine management system. not this soon though, but I might as well get it done now right?

I think I lost just a pinch of power according to the butt dyno, but I'd much rather be running rich then blow up my engine. It runs VERY smoothly. I'm really happy with my setup now.

I'd be pretty happy with 314hp with the recalibration kit. That's a good #.

That was before the kit. I'll have to figure out the new numbers. Probably next week depending on Ultimate's schedule. I'm assuming down to 310ish, but my case is weird. 314 was with bad bearings not running efficiently at all and running lean. I had my supercharger rebuilt to make sure its running 100% but also changed the fuel mix. Should be interesting to see what happens. That 314 was at 8700rpm too. I'd like to have it pushed to redline next time.
