Just an unlikely blog of my car and whatever has to do with it... I have to admit that up to now, the car was just that. Now the car is like a new family member!!!
Now, for the sucky dyno day: I tried three pulls: two in 4th gear and one in 5th gear. Best pull was 238RWHP and 235RWTQ... even horse power to the wheels a loss of 5RWTQ since the last time... so the CAI and grounding actually set me back a bit. Now, that is a very relative thing: throttle response has definitely improved since the mods and I was kind of expecting something like this, as the N/A mods tend to work well only when you have a full path change... so now I am missing an exhaust and hi-flow cats change, but not for long. This morning I talked with Adam at Z-1 Performance and I think I will go with an HKS Hi Power Ti exhaust and the recommended Ultimate Racing hi-flow cats. This setup will work even if one day I get the Turbo fever, so this should be a good investment.
So, wheels will have to wait a bit longer!
Next in line: Motordyne ISO Thermal Spacer and Headers (unsure about the brand as of know).
