I took it back after the first week, we went through 3 corrupt tunes before getting a good one. Never a good thing when the mechanic tells you "so after I was done with it, it would have exploded if so-and-so wasn't here to tune it" but at least he shot straight with me. Throttle body is...

Yup, very sure its almost 3k.

So from what I'm reading, my car sits 1k higher for quite a few extra seconds. Sounds like it needs to go back so I don't do any harm right? Just want to make sure I'm not wearing the mechanic out when I don't need to be. Thanks for the input!:nice:

When I start the car, especially when it's a cold start, it revs to 2800-3k and sits there for 15 or so seconds. Is this bad? I'm thinking everything in there is dry on a cold start and high revs can't be good? It settles down to ~1k after that and I put it in drive and go. Am I overreacting?

If you're upset about a scratch, you should see what a pony with a quarter being hung on it looks like..factory spot welds disturbed, interior trim that wasn't meant to be removed and reinstalled, all kinds of badness. Plus the body dust from sanding the filler in the door jambs will NEVER be...

I had a rattle but assumed it was the compressor because it was only when the AC kicked on, but after taking off the intake (for a supercharger!) I get no more rattle. Just my .02

The numbers were indeed a little disappointing - but I'm assured there are at least 20 horses hiding after the next tune so we'll see what the dyno says then. Did the H pipe make a noticeable difference? I'm thinking it would be too loud with the SLP's?

So I just put a magnacharger in and while I'm a little disappointed with the hp #'s (341 rwhp) the pull I get when I give it just a little tap is enough to make me giggle like a little girl. I have no intention of having a trailer queen and drive my car as an almost daily driver and usually see...

almost 8 pounds (7.8 on the last dyno pull) - I have a modest 341 hp at the wheels with 328 foot pounds. Will an X-pipe do anything noticible? I used to think 300 rwhp was the goal, now it's 400, where does it end?!:eek:

Just put a new magnacharger on the pony, any suggestions on where to go next without going overboard? Only thing in the works is a custom JLT intake - I'm not trying to beat any records but want a car that can walk away from rice when I feel like it. Also, anyone have any experience with...

I have the stock front and rear covers and the color doesn't match. Neither does the hood scoop or the door handles. - but you only notice if you stare long enough. Take a closer look, there's not a lot of cars out there with the plastic bumper matching the sheet metal fender/quarter.

Best= Its an S197 Worse= The backseat fits $20 worth of groceries and maybe a pocketbook

Thank you for explaining why I should just deal with it :p It makes a lot more sense now..

I take mine through the wash at least once a week -- the place rinses their flaps off a few times a day (or so they've told me) but I have it easy with a white car. I don't let them dry it though, who wants glass cleaner used on their leather?! 40 degrees is my cutoff even with hot water and...

I put them on myself, and thought it was strange there was nothing to disconnect since I'm familiar with the TPM fault on cold days. They came off an 06 GT and he never had any problems, told me it was a "girl thing" and I must have done something wrong so I just had to deal with it...grrr...

No little blue things, but the brake clips didn't fit with the new wheels... Thanks for the input, looks like another trip to the dealer.

I just put new wheels on and now I'm getting a tire pressure monitor fault when I start up..the indicator light will flash off and on randomly as well. Anyone else have this happen with 20" wheels?
