Which makes perfect sense if you think about it for a minute. Changing the length and/or width of intake runners is all about tuning how the engine draws air into itself, establishing a smooth, strong airflow. All that goes out the window once that air is being forced into the engine under pressure.

Cusco brace clears it.

Which Cusco brace? There is more than one. Got a picture installed?

Test drove today and sure as shit the butt dyno and tire chirping validates more low end torque with no noticeable loss on high end. Pleased.

Type OS with brake stop. I'll try to take a shot when the weather isn't so wet.

xcelir8brz · 07-19-2014, 09:21 PM

No worries. Just bought a Megan. Like Cusco wo Brake Stop. Didn't need that because I already have a Grimmspeed.

So after install have people reset the ECU? Plan to do install Monday or Tuesday of next week.

I do have a custom tune now and will schedule a retune after some testing

If your not going FI and e85, these blocks are worth it.

Just that they sorta negate the gains when combined
