Partner, I am on the ecutek from delicious, But I did put it on the dyno, and had it tweaked a bit. The reason is I am not that savvy with data logging. Hell I just now have halfway learned my I phone 7. (Ha). The engine is internals are all stock. I am running my stock header with the shields intact. However I did mod it by removing the cat. I then put in a 2 into 1 collector smooth mandrel bend. included the factory bung locations plus a 3rd one for future wide band. so its more like a true 4/2 into1 exhaust. I had all that ceramic coated to help with heat management. It flows into an Invidia overpipe (ceramic coated as well). Berk highflow front pipe then Invidia Q 300 catback. Its nice and quiet with a perfect tuned exhaust note, not the loud ass ricer raspy 16 yr old driver annoying sound. I'm running the sprintex 210 stage II. I have DEI thermal blanket doubled on underneath of the supercharger and specifically on each intake runner. Stock Airbox with Aem dry filter drop in. Delicious F. F. like you have mine is the Bluetooth. Its awesome to have the telemetry right there on your phone no more gauges to clutter up your dash. I'm running a simple mechanical boost gauge from New South gauges it matches the oem backlighting perfectly, Its dimable with the factory dim switch. I'm running a Phasetek catch can on the pcv side only not both. Its not needed.
All said its oem like seamless performance. I spent a lot of time researching and researching until I made my decision. One of the guys who helped me make this decision was the guy Savagees, who did the basic R and D I feel in the initial days. He was on board with the Vortech charger initial application. I didn't really care for his continual sarcasm, but he was a pioneer as far as the supercharging side of it. I wasn't looking for over 300 horsepower so I guess I never over expected. The balance of this platform just needed a slight pick me up. I feel like I have achieved that for my level. I already had my suspension sorted as I have been playing around with small car platforms for over 40 years. I have never owned a v8 auto with the exception of my Dodge ram Hemi (truck). Now I can focus on polishing up my driving skills while learning this chassis as well. Kind of the cart before the horse. Ive ben doing auto cross solo 1 And solo II for 40 plus years. So we will see how it goes. Hope this helps. Keep us posted on how your FI goes so far its plenty of smiles. Best regards Steve
