It has begun
Hey,
Well my car is down to nothing. Front end is off, and the motor is taken apart down to the block so I can put in a cosmetic 2mm gasket. I went with half love-fab stuff and the rest is all custom. I hope to have it up and running in 2 weeks. The take-down of the motor was very straight forward and took me about 4.5 hours. I hope to see you all for a meet or something sometime. Just wanted to let you all know how progress was going on my car. And to think I have only owned it 3 going on 4 months. WOOT!

This is the update, Just posted this in the FI forum under the lovefab area....Thought I would share!
HOLY @#(*$&,
THE CAR MOVES OUT. Guys I can't tell you enough. You need to ride in a lovefab car to understand. Like Cody says, I do have a 2mm gasket so you might see some good numbers from me, but right now the car is boosting around 6-7 pounds and it is out of this world. I can't stop grining. I have no mid-pipe so I am running just straight exhaust right out of the DP. Its LOUD, You can hear the turbo like crazy. I spent about 30 min street tuning it, and I have 13.5 A/F up in vacum then once boost hits, I go right to 12.4-12.5 all the way till 7.5 grand, then I richened the fuel to drop down to mid-high 11's. I have the Techedge wideband with display but also have it hooked up to the AEM. I build the wideband using tech-edge's kit. Then borrowed a friends wideband and the widebands were maybe off by .1 but were dead even most of the time so I know i am accurate.
WOW WOW WOW. Its all I can say. Anyone who lives in the Utah area and wants a hell of a ride. PM me. Its worth your time.
Cody, you the man. Can't wait for those injectors and midpipe. Then I get to re-tune.....YAY!!! :-) If you have never had the experience of working with Cody, he is one of the best in the business. 5 stars from me.
