You can go cancel it and they will prorate what you haven't used. Then use that money to buy car parts that would void the warranty. Ask me how I know. Lol.

Also, don't forget the kit includes a drivetrain warranty up to the normal 3y/36k.

Also don't forget this is only on the CARB tune (can only be used on stock cars) and has to be installed by a certified technician.

And here's how you install one by yourself....just be sure to have lots of ibuprofen on hand!

What's supporting it, the garage door opener?

Some news !

I went to germany this week end and it was time for me to fill my tank with ultimate 102 octane gas, i switched to my second map (delicious 100 octane map) and really the car drive better, engine run smooth, good map from delicious one more time thanks to them !

As you may know there are no speed limit on some portion of the autobahn so i drove pretty fast but there were to much cars so i did not go more than 160mph ... yes the car will go more than that i can fell it and i will test it !

I'm running now mxp 4in1 el header with over pipe combo,invidia catless front pipe and a invidia q300 cat back. I didn't dyno it for now but i will do it this week if everything will be okay.

Always pretty happy with my edelbrock and the amazing delicious tune !

I'm planning to go on e85 in some month. D-box, injectors, pump, i will ask delicious for an inquiry and of course a third map ^^ powaaaaaaa !

That certainly would have made things "fun"! I actually used my atv winch and with the compound pulley setup and the remote, I had very precise control. Made that part of the install quite easy!

Can you use a mishimoto upgraded radiator with this kit? I already have the radiator installed with a liquid to liquid oil cooler....

I recall somebody a few pages back using the Jackson Racing radiator with this kit and had intake temperature problems due to increased temp under the hood. The solution ended up being a heat wrap for the airbox and intake tubing, plus the addition of some foam around the edges of the radiator to funnel air into the right places.

Edit: Here you go:

I thought I messed up my MAF position and went to my tuner to have it checked out, but then discovered that the tune was fine and the IATs were through the roof. My IATs went from 115 degrees to 145 degrees. I think it's because the radiator isn't ducted the way the oem one was.

I just put some foam weather stripping around the radiator today and plan on testing it out. To see if that helps.

I think this big bad radiator is heating the air in the engine bay more than the oem one did due to its increased cooling capacity and the intake was sucking air from the engine bay around it following the path of least resistance.

The airbox was also very hot to the touch after a little bit of driving so I may end up heat shielding the whole intake right up to the pulleys.

EDIT:
Also I will be testing it out at Roebling Road Raceway June 4th and 5th so I'd like to compare results with you. I won't be able to log it, just take measurements at the conclusion of each run.

I had the line kink issue as well, we had to massage it to get them to not kink the same way you did.

We also reused the OEM cap because the Jr cap didn't fit properly.

*edit* The D-box is not CARB exempt, and technically makes your car not compliant with California emissions. If you want to be 100% emissions legal in California, you cannot run the D-box.

When did the D-box come out? If we ordered a kit before the box was released, can we get a discount?

Yes. PM to order.

LMK when you're ready. We can package everything together w/ a DT FNG and FF kit. You'll also want a clutch if you're a manual trans type of guy.

I have the mishimoto rad with this kit with no issues. Also have a oil cooler. No track days to test anything.
