Got mine running last night. WOW! Still need to put on the bumper and plastics before I can throw it on the butt dyno! Shortly after the 200 mi break in it'll get dynoed and retuned.

Will be installing an additional trans cooler and my oil catch can soon. I'll have a thread on them soon as I get some pics.

What size are you again? 235s? Before I pulled the motor the wife nailed a pothole and blew a sidewall. The corner lot I bought this thing from put on "new tires" but they were all 215/45 POS tires! So I have a lip on the rim exposed to potholes. I have 3 new tires that I really don't want. Because it's bound to keep happening.
OE is 225/45-R18 I believe.

By the way, those Nittos are neato! (Sry, couldn't help it)

Love those purple lug nuts! Never noticed them before. So you're pushing 25 lbs and only netting 301/350? I would think you'd have more power based on mods/boost alone...GMTU is good to 260 HP(auto).

Have you played with the e47 tune?
