See above :happy0180:

Now remember that I am boosting 13 psi, all of this would not apply to a Stage 1 AVO car.

I think I am finally going to get some. I really want the 3M Crystaline tint as it is supposed to be very clear but still have great heat and UV resistance. I am hoping to do all my glass in the same tint. Also, you planning to do track days now?

Well, after I've put so much money into it, I NEED to at least make it to a few track days... But even besides that, now in the summer the few times I've opened the hood after using the car its all just so incredibly hot. I want to manage that down.


Oh, I also did another change. My Oil Pressure gauge started acting up, will get it fixed via AEM warranty. But now that I will have a sandwich plate, I have two ports for Oil signal, so I will replace that gauge with the Innovate one that does Oil pressure and Temp in one.

One last thing Tut, I filled with Corn over the weekend to wash out the 93 pumpgas and be able to get to the Dyno with as pure E85 as possible. Used the car in the weekend the most in a 2 day span since the March All FL meet. Used 3/4 tank already.
