Doesn’t really look much different than before other than the new cold air intake, throttle body, over the valve cover wires, & powder coated intake. A little cleaner, but it’s not really a show car.

Still trying to figure out my idle issues and what feels like cam surge when driving at low rpm.

Just got rid of a plastic one. This is an Arizona Speed & Marine - chromed tube w/ the rubber hose. They all perform about the same. The damn corner of the radiator & cover causes problems, that’s why the plastic ones have an indent.

Nice nice! I can’t wait to see dyno #s and track times. As for the idle and surge issues I really suggest a custom tune. You bought a tune based on your parts right? It’s been my, and many other ppl’s, experience that while close they are never spot-on. At WOT it’s probably pretty good since that’s where the most research has been done and the most data for any given combo is available. Usually a tuner can make a pretty good WOT tune based on “similar” combos. But when it comes to idle, part-throttle drivability etc. every car seems to react just a little different.

I got the tune from pcmforless. I paid for unlimited tunes, so I’ll give the guy feedback and he’ll adjust from there.

Where’s the guy located? Is there anyway you can get a tune on a dyno w/ wideband (at idle, part and WOT not just WOT pulls… or have him go for a ride along w/ you for the idle and part throttle)?

He’s actually from eastern (?) PA. They hold dyno days every so often - location depends on # of people interested.

I plan to get dyno data w/wideband, but an actual dyno tune looks unlikely.

I set my TPS voltage to exactly where it should be tonight (had to slot the screw holes a little), and did some data logging. It’s free software though, so the logging & parameters are limited. Learning as I go!
