you can get lighter wheels that look better, besides, just the fact that they are 18s will slow you down, i guarantee you could get at least one tenth in the 1/4 with 17s that weigh the same as those 18s.......just read up on rotating mass.......

yeah, you definitely gotta get that cat/O2/exh fixed bro. I ran a 15.1 with a non-operational turbo (flow restriction) at 3,000 ft. plus. I think that you're engine pooper is choking you out. Plus, I dont think you're dialed in nearly close on tune. What's your C/R again?

close to stock maybe slightly higher, the mechanic said its probably 9.6:1. the pistons werent what i thought they were going to be. the machinist cc'd one of each and the new ones had a slightly smaller dish but it wasnt much.

heh, dont feel alone.....I did so much reading I thought my head would explode, and I still felt like I didn't know what to do (at first). germ at DPP helped me figure out the complex stuff, and that was a big help.
If you prefer to take this to IM, let me know. I can basically tell you what is good to scan for (more stuff than most people scan), and help you decipher it, then transfer it to a new tune.

i'd rather keep this out in the open actually, so others can learn with me (granted this isnt a tuning forum). i usually scan the following:
KR, A/F, FT Cell, IAT, LTFT, STFT, MAF, MAP, MPH, RPM, Run Time, and Spark
but as far as IM what do you use? i have both AIM and yahoo...

I use trillian, so I'm on everything out there. YM, AIM, MSN, ICQ primarily.
and the reason I suggest IM is because it's quicker, and I dont have alot of patience playing the message game, and getting slowed down with questions by alot of people who neither have, nor have any intention of getting, a PowrTuner.
Oh yeah, and you need to add in O2 along with gear.

hahaha, you would pull out the old "i work swings" card.
I get off at 5pm Pacific. That would put me at about 8pm my time when you get home? It's 1630 right now.

yea on my comp it says you posted at 1837. i thought pacific was 3 hours behind eastern time but then i remembered that AZ doesnt observe daylight savings right?
the good part is i have wireless web at home so i can be outside next to my car and chatting with ya.

its not. i need to fix my issues first lol
i think i am just going to replace the cat and o2 sensor and see how she does before i spend the money on new cat-back.
i assume that cats are basically all the same so i might get this one just because of price. comments?
