I have the Bosch Cobra. Yes, on the tuner. There maybe have been a second line pinched too. I had a hell of a time getting the bumper back on because of hitting a second line. I had to bend the pump bracket a bit. I really need to do the air pump delete to make more room in there and have a better setup for the long term.

I am aware and brought up the concern at Advance. Any issues and they'll get me the larger capacity.

I've had a difficult time getting good logs for Jeff the past couple weeks. Time has been tight to get redo's done too. I had a chance to get on a dyno yesterday though and it's pretty close. Not bad for a guy doesn't know AEM at all or Honda's very well. I'm still going to go through the process with Evan's, but I have something that's not bad for now. New dyno posted below. One pull is the 271 with the bigger pulley, stock computer and no aftercooler. The 290 something was Jeff's base tune(don't hold it against him). The 340 is what where I am now.

Also picked up a set of used 17 X 9 Enkei RPF1's in great shape with like new Sumitomo HTR Z III's. 245/40's up front and 255/40's in back. Today I installed a set of "2nd hand" KW Clubsports I picked up a couple weeks ago and rolled the fenders. The Clubsports were never previously installed - new in the box! I got the rolling done and coilovers installed in a little over 6 hours. Couldn't have done it without the DIY's on this forum (air tools helped too).

Taking my newly tuned engine and completely untuned suspension to my 1st autocross tomorrow. Should be fun.

The dyno wasn't picking up the boost, but was hitting a hair under 10 lbs.

I've had the new tune a couple weeks and it's still 100% not right. Good enough to drive for now, but not right for the long run. Just some odd stuff with decel, idle etc., minor but odd. Also, if I'm running at 70 in 6th and get on it, I see some light smoke in the headlights behind me. So, still a bit rich. I think I'm going to have to find somebody in Atlanta or go to Mobile - I know there's a competent S2k tuner there. I have learned a lot about the AEM, but there's just too much for me to get my head around all of it without help.

I've run a couple autocrosses. I asked for the help after the first here and made several changes to the car.

It's on rails now, well, for my skill level. Tons of seat time available over the next couple months, going to take advantage of everything I can. Doing Barber on Sunday!!!

I take my hat off to you for being new and doing the hard work of finding out information yourself instead of wanting it spoonfed to you. I wish more newbies took that same approach!

As for a tuner, if you don't mind driving down to Mobile I highly recommend TDC: http://www.tdcperformance.net/. They can get you taken care of.

Thank you, but I feel like everything has been spoonfed directly or indirectly. I'd be lost without the 10 years or so of history on this forum plus the member support.

I talked to the guys at TDC a couple months ago and was really impressed with them. I wanted to drop the car off with them to do the original upgrades when on vacation at Orange Beach. Ended up taking one friend per kid and needed two full size vehicles. I'm trying to work out a legitimate reason to go to Pensacola for work and swing a day in Mobile.

Going to Atlanta in a couple weeks but finding mixed reviews on most of the shops there.
