I'd rather not find out on my car which I will drive a lot. They very well possibly could have fixed the issues.

We can not use a CDI box with our stock coils. The stock coils have the ignitor built into the coil. The CBR coils which most people use with CDI ignitions also do not directly fit into our spark plug tubes as the CBR coils are not long enough. You would have to rig something up from the spark plug tip to the CBR coil which also requires it to be a threaded tip. I chose the long AEM coils for the reason that they fit perfectly, does not require threaded tip spark plugs, and they are pretty much a clone of the CBRs with short (CBR size) and long versions. The connectors are even the same for the AEM coils and CBR coils.

Yes, I do not remove the filter for dyno numbers. No one has mentioned it and it does not seem to be an issue.

Got tuned by LJ today. Very nice shop and people.

We had some snags and ended up at 625whp SAE and 389wtq @ about 23psi. It seems to be a very efficient setup. I'll try to post up a graph sometime soon.

On a side note, my E85 mpg is pretty good when I don't beat on it. I got 19.7 on the 7 hour drive to Full Blown. On the way back home I got 22.4 on one fill up.

Anyway you can get me the part # for the filter? Stock fan on that side?

Sucks about your mileage, you are not making it easy to stay with 93, lol. I barely get more than you, 24ish. Im sure if i had a wideband itd be better.

If you have the stock radiators and stock fans, the filter will fit the manifold just fine. If you have an aftermarket thick radiator and stock fans like me, it will fit, but the fan shroud is cutting 1/4" into the rubber end of the filter since its so tight. With some slim fans, I'm sure it'd fit without any issues.

The part number for mine is K&N RU-2510. That is if you have a 4" inlet compressor cover.

The coils lol.

The connectors AEM gave me didn't work out too well. The connections on the inside were coming loose and causing me to drop cylinders while driving up. I showed LJ and he tugged on one, the whole pin came out with it which was supposed to be locked in with the yellow tab. They are the same type of connectors that the M&W used, but for some reason the M&W connectors held perfectly fine and the AEM ones didn't. I also had the coil on cylinder number one giving me issues before. The epoxy holding it together came off the sleeve and caused current to arc between there and the spark plug tube. I tried to put new plastic epoxy on it, but didn't seem to hold. That same coil also would refuse to fire after the car would run for about a half hour. I switched back to my RSX coils in about ten minutes. I am going to buy a CBR harness and just wire that in and also see if AEM will warranty that coil. My RSX coils were having breakup on the dyno so we switched to LJ's RSX coils and it cleared up.

Another issue was that I did not punch in the relief valves in the fuel pumps when I installed them. At 23psi, fuel pressure was staying at 75psi instead of rising. Completely my fault.
