Missed ya @Jmonty!

Yeah, the driveability of the car is WAY WAY better. No bogging down low and still feels great up top. This is how it should have been on day one, but it was a new kit and a new tuning software... so it's all good.

Threw Zanroe's ( @Boom) car up on the lift to replace the front pipe... with full expectations that one of the nuts on the OEM overpipe was seized. Sure enough, a stud snapped, but thanks to @NickFRS we had an extra on hand.

Oops.... the front pipe was a front/overpipe combo! We didn't need the extra overpipe after all! Oh well, everything installed nicely and Zanroe was on his way.

Is this when your under hard acceleration with the tires slipping? If so that's normal.

Any acceleration or any deceleration. I think I'm missing a bolt or something.

Yeah, but the shop will be out of service from now through March 26th... hit me up on the 26th and we can arrange a good time for you to get it in here.

Once the shop is open again, I'll need some lift time to install my new go fast(er) parts.

There will be beer...
