Everything there looks perfectly safe! At it's leanest point, it is still less than half a point leaner than stock, so nothing at all to worry about. Also, with how rich it starts to go after 6k (matches stock nearly perfectly) it shows that you have a good amount of power left on the table to be found from tuning. And we all know that mo power is mo fun

For a while now, I've been considering either an aftermarket snorkel like the one from HKS or buying an oem snorkel and doing my own snorkel mod. Looking at the results y'all got on the dyno for your snorkel mod, would I potentially be running too lean where my AFR peaks between 5300 and 5500 rpm? It's going to be a few years before I'm comfortable doing something like an ECUTEK tune where my warranty will be removed that is until it runs out (based on my experience with my previous BRZ, I might need that warranty), but if I can safely bump the AFR up the chart and possibly bump the other numbers up a bit that would be an easy enough mod to do. Obviously, I understand that there will still be plenty of power left on the table until I am comfortable running a tune. Also, I ran out of paper plates (they're about to expire) so I put my plain janes on with the GrimmSpeed reallocation kit that has been hibernating in my parts bin in my garage. I am still waiting for Travis county to get their collective asses together so I can register my custom plates. Pics with the kit on will come when I get my custom plates registered and on the car!

If you look at our stock vs modified snorkel runs you'll see that every run with a modified snorkel actually produced a little more power. At the same time, if you look at the AFRs, the leanest run with with the stock snorkel. So the AFRs are richer, and there is more power being made. Completely counter-intuitive. So it is possible that the TRD intake with the modified snorkel could bring the AFRs closer to stock, but without actually testing back at the dyno it will be impossible to say for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if it makes more power though. We love pictures, so as soon as you get the new plates be sure to post up pictures of your car and the LPK! I'm glad to help, even though I wasn't much help. At the end of the day, nothing beats time on the dyno and some tuning with a tuner you trust to make sure your car is safe and fun!

Well, its my inevitable bad post. 5th gear has started to grind when up shifting and down shifting into 5th. This only seems to happen when I am above about 45ish mph, at slow speeds it shifts into 5th gear smoothly. I am letting my dealer do my first oil change tomorrow (at no charge to me) and I will be mentioning this to them. If they seem to think there is nothing wrong with it, I will be going ahead with doing a fluid swap in the transmission. Motul Gear 300 is supposed to arrive via Brown Santa (the UPS man) tomorrow. I will keep y'all posted!

So, the technician immediately recreated the issue and has opened a ticket with techline. I guess I will find out in a couple weeks, what the prognosis is with my transmission. The service rep at my dealer seems to think that I will get a brand new transmission... at 3k miles on the odo. Apparently I am bad luck for cars. FWIW the tech didn't think driver error was a possible cause of the problem! :P

Yea, both the dealers in Austin and Georgetown have pretty good service departments. Granted, I've done most of my servicings through the dealer so it behooves them to treat me well.

I have noticed with my dealer as well, I have built a rappor with them and they seem to heed my advice on this vehicle and are always double checking to dot their i's and cross their t's. Glad you are getting some great help, sorry to hear about 5th gear. If you get a new tranny, have them see if there are any shavings from the old or have them drain the old and see if any are in there. Will possibly tell you right away if it is grinding.

Ordered the crush washers for the rear diff and trans through my dealer today. I should have them on Wednesday, which is perfect as I will be changing the fluid in the rear diff this Thursday at DIY Texas. Thanks to the generosity of @trevorovert, I will also be installing a replica oem rear diffuser as well that day.
