Default What do you folks think?

Im am slowly starting to collect performance parts for my S, but wanted your opinions on 2 things. My S is my weekend toy, odd weekday driver. Im looking to add some more "pep", and hoping to hit the odd track day (2-3 times this year, hopefully).

1. What do you think of my choice in parts?

2. What kind of WHP you guys think I will make?

Here is what I currently have, and have in mind to add...

Currently
J's Tsuchinoko Intake - installed
Vafc2 - not installed
T1R 63mm test pipe - not installed

Looking to add
ASM 70mm Single Exhaust System
Hytech Header

By adding the parts above, and tuned with my Vafc what do you N/A heads figure I can make? My S will be dyno'd on a Mustang dyno.

with the 70mm headerback and the hytech header, you should be in the 220 range get some real EM instead of that VAFC and you are at 230+ with ease


you should post this in the NA thread instead of making a new thread

Why does everybody here dislike Piggybacks? Is it really worth it to spend four times as much for a EMS?

If you're going to be going with a 70mm exhaust, you should pick up a 70mm test pipe as well.

I'll stick with the Vafc2 for now, and possibly get an AEM ems down the road.

Could a mod move this post to the N/A thread? Sorry about that

I tried to find one a while back but people were telling me you can't these anymore? If you know where I may be aboe to get one that would be great.

With EMS you can control timing, not just fuel.

who said everyone here dislikes pissybacks?

I am a Huge advocate for piggy's like the Ultimate E-manage, what i meant by ditching the VAFC for some real tuning, i ment something that was able to control fuel as well as ing timing.....

Slightly OT, but I'm interested in the EU; However I recall reading a thread a while back about some issues with the EU on the s2k. Have these issues been resolved? (whatever those issues were). Sorry for being so vague
