The Sprintex kit also requires the hood liner removal. Too bad you don't live close to me otherwise we could slap it on. If anyone in my area has the Edlebrock and wants to try them I'm happy to assist.

The hood lining doesn't need to be removed for the Sprintex kit you only need to cut a hole in it where the pulley is.

Are there any preparations one should check to before getting boosted? I had a leak (timing chain cover area) due to weak factory sealant that has been fixed. In the back of my mind, I feel like my engine has been "compromised" a bit and just isn't the same. Would an engine oil analysis provide any reassurances?
I'll be taking a look under the car hopefully next weekend to make sure there aren't any leaks, I have no reason to believe there to be any however. The cam plate seems to be a weak area of the engine as well, would replacing this with say the Raceseng cam plate as preventative maintenance be of any worth? |

From what I've read about the cam plates, due to the way they seal it, it either leaks or it doesn't. I have the stock cam plate and have had no problems with it. I'd skip on the cam plate if I were you. Of course, its your car, do your research and make your own educated decisions. I'm no expert, I'm just some guy on the internet |

When I first got the kit installed in December, I noticed the throttle wasn't as responsive accelerating from a stop in the first couple thousand RPMs as before I got the kit. Figured the ECU needs to relearn throttle mapping and fix itself (also did the dead pedal fix procedure which I've done years ago when I installed an intake and noticed the procedure made a difference). But last night I drove a friend's stock FR-S and it is clear that his car was more smooth and responsive from take off. My car still has noticeably less response during the lull than his car followed by a surge of power/torque. This is with the smog tune. Are others seeing this?

i'm wondering whether i don't notice it because i seldom launch it from a standing start - i just meander off the line then floor it. it really does come alive after about 3k rpm.

I have this exact behavior as well, but I recently found my manifold gasket was damaged during install, so I'm in the process of replacing them and will have results soon to see if that's what the problem was. If so, you guys might have a clue that something similar happened to yours. If not, well then, we keep searching, or maybe just that's the way it is with this kit.

I'm not launching it either. Applying 1/4 to 1/3 throttle like for everyday civilized driving I notice a momentary lull compared to none in my friend's stock FR-S below ~2.5k RPMs.

Also, the lull has become very subtle and I didn't think anything of it these past few months. That's because it improved with the ECU adjusting over time til I accepted it as back to normal. I could never tell whether the response fully adjusted all the way back to normal til I drove my friend's FR-S last night. It should have adjusted by now but there is still a difference.
