She pulls pretty hard now so I hope to be in the 290s next time I dyno.

No TOO serious issues yet. Just things like fouled plugs due to the richness of the stock e-manage (and Interceptor) tune, inconsistent idle problems (sometimes she dies). Nothing that can't be tuned out, or repaired by some of the fixes that other pioneers around here have discovered.
That said, it is so worth it!
nice dude, nice. if we don't hear back from chris i'll still come down to tulsa sat. and check out your car.

Weak. I'm planning on keeping mine, I'm just hoping the trans holds up. Rattles are bothering me but other than that I still love my 8.

Hey guys, just an FYI in case you haven't checked the official BBQ website... Steve Kahn will be there and he's gonna be tuning during the BBQ festivities. The details are on www.rotaryrendezvous.com and you have to register for it since he'll only have a limited # of slots available for the day.

See y'all there!!!

sorry all haven't checked gulf forum in a couple days. been obtaining some speakers and things for my next project. I am installing 2 alpine spr17Ls component sets in my car this coming weekend. having my doors fiberglassed around speakers and replacing 6x9's with 6.5's. Ended up also buying an lc6 line output converter with the remote ****. Had a pioneer 4 channel 400 watt amp at home already to run them. Also have another pioneer 760 watt sitting home with 2 Kenwood 12's just acquiring dust. I have an Audiobahn 12 1k watt sub with a hifonic 1205d amp and capacitor already installed. Think i'm going to put my factory battery back in and use my optima for the trunk. Then I am going to try and do my first diy fiberglass enclosure in a couple weeks. I talked to erik at Jay's auto and he is pretty fluent in fg and is going to give me a hand in it. Also told me if I need anything for our rides, he can get them at cost. Ya know like coilovers, wheels, and custom items as well. Just saw a truck he put some airbags in and it was pretty nice. Now i'm getting hungry to see what i want to do next to the 8. I work all Saturdays till 5 unless i request a weekend off in advance. Already asked for the last couple days in March off for my nephews b-day party woohoo, going to go to see Thomas the tank engine ( my son will go nuts on that).
