Again, doesn't cost me any more than mobile 1. Actually I think it costs me less.
Don't know where you guys buy from.

When adding an intake and a single exhaust to an '05 S2K, is there something I'm suppose to do to let the ECU accept the better flow? When I first put the exhaust in it felt 'loose" and slower than stock. After about 2 days of normal driving, I've felt the car picking up the power back. Is the ECU reprograming itself?
I heard that on some nissan's you had to let the car idle for 5 min, rev it 3 times and let it idle another 5 min before giving it 3 more revs. Does this sound good and does it really update the ECU to its new airflow? Please help with suggestions! I looked around in this forum but I didn't find anything. Maybe I didn't look enough. I've also changed the oil to a synthetic (Royal Purple) and I also bought the 'Tornado' intake charger (dont make fun on me on this) and I have a test pipe instead of a cat.
Thanks!

also, resetting the ECU is not necessary. The ECU is constantly learning and adjusting.

If you have not tried it let me know and I will send you 6 qts and if you don't see the difference I will pay for it!!!
Save the oil for FWT and we can give it away as a prize.

That's my point. It's a lesser oil compared to oils of the same price.
You use whatever oil additive you want, and I'll use whatever oil I want

We don't need to go back to the oil additives again how its relatively useless in modern vehicles with modern oils do we ?

I love coming to this place! I have a question, I get an answer. Thanks guys! Yeah sometimes the answers are off topic but I get the general idea.
So, what about a super afcII controler? Worth the extra bucks? Does it really change fuel delivery, timing, etc. enough to give it a boost?
I have a short ram intake (got rid of the "tor-no-aid-though"), test pipe, and a single 2.5" exhaust. Yeah its loud! Looks good though. Got the oil n grounding wires. Took off all the Honda badges n replaced them with red "S" badges. Got clear lights, lowering springs, upper n lower brace, gunmetal 18" rims, painted calipers(red), cf mirrors, fog lights (mounted inside grill opening), aluminum grill, blk leather shifter boot w red stiching, black shift knob, aluminum oil cap, cf radiator plate, oil catch can, n other lil things i dont know how to describe.
What other good n easy mods are out there?
Thanks for all the help, again!
Oh, by the way, about the comment about keeping a car dual exhaust and that exotics have dual...they have 2 ex manifolds n I look around at Supras, yeah, 1 muffler. Faster car? A little.

remove the grounding wires. they do absolutely NOTHING but hurt performance, by adding dead weight to the car.
an SAFC will give you a small gain, but not much, and over time, the ECU will "learn" and you'll lose some of the power you gained.
