Pretty much stock.
I have a K&N filter, open airbox lid, Hondata IMG, and now an AEM 1052U.

Just a question, as far as tuneability, 1052 and 1012 are equal correct...just the box sizes that are different. I want to make sure, because IMO I have so much moer power to be had from my EMS but Shawn's tune was too conservative to actually get much. Where you got 22 I probably got 8...anybody know any other good tuners in the LA area?

I do not know the actual differences between the 2 models. I'm sure the answers to that can be found at www.aempower.com on their forums.

You should have gotten more than 8...the older S2k's have really rich fuel maps, which is why they get such a performance increase going with 02 or 03 ECU's....my car was so pig rich it wasn't even funny.
Now my car sips at the gas
Most of my additional power came from adjusting the timing...and re-tweaking the AFR after advancing the timing.

proves my point that tuning is the best bang for the buck. you can bolt on yourself to death but without a tune you never really get the whole monty.

Your next dyno is comming up, right? You've only changed your exhaust since then, correct?

ya i am heading down south to dyno again beginning of sept. hopefully by then i will be able to add the megan header. i recently got a 427 ticket in oregon so i dont know if Mrs. versionJDM will let me spend 350 on a header.
