No problem man, thanks for your help. Sorry I had to leave for a bit but Claudia needed me to take her to get her car and she was waiting a long time I'm glad you guys were able to finish up.

Hey 9K, found out it was the ABS control unit. $1835 part plus labor. Not to worry, I got it done for CONSIDERABLY less. The 8 only had to sit for a few days. Thanks for your help. I'll be home in Dallas next week, I'll be checking to see if you guys have anything going on, gives me another reason to come down there again.

Really, that sucks man. I had that same part replaced years back because my alternator over charged and fried it but it was covered by my extended warranty thankfully. That part can only be installed by the dealer because they have to program your build data into it. Not sure why that would cause your engine to die though, weird.

Hector, how do you like the headers? Debated on getting them for a while. I'm thinking of boost after this deployment or just maxing out N/A.

To be honest i dont feel so much difference now that i have the heders but i havent had a chance to really run it either way i dont think There's going to be to much of a gain. But if i get 1 or 2 hp ill be satisfied lol
