I just got mine this last week, so I'm assuming I'd have the most recent flash right? 2005 with 13 miles on it was how I picked it up. Or should I go into the dealership and make sure?

it most likely does not have the N flash...if it is an 05 it could have been on the lot for months...no flash done

So I most likely have the "M" flash but not the "N" flash eh?

I'll give my dealer a call then and see what's up.

I wish I would have logged the airflow, and taken a snapshot of the baro, the IAT etc. on this and a different car to see if any of the sensor readings were really different.

Renwar1's A/F was slightly leaner than the other cars in the 7-85K range...but not much

I figured out wat was wrong with my car......A beer to the first one that was there that figures it out :D Except Nemesis8...I already owe him one...he would get two.....just didn't get to go cause I was freaked out by my Dyno..........or lack of one :D

The 206 was bone stock - no Canzoomer

No takers on the beer :D

I think the God(s) were pissing on my parade for getting up at 4:30AM to go to the Dyno. Wasted $75...

but found out why my car had been running like crap.

In hindsight...it had been slow the last few weeks or more....now that I fixed the problem...It's like a different car again. I guess the gas wasn't the problem...may have been just the straw that broke the camels back though. Just got to wait for the parts to come in for the final fix.......

I'll give you a clue...It wasn't the plugs.....or coils, or CZ, ........

COME ON...I want some guesses????????

I also have an 11 minute 775MB 7.82mps 720x480 4:3 ratio AC3Filter MPEG-2 video of our Mt. St. Helen's run. But I cannot host something that big - bummer eh

That was a pretty cool day for the community. I personally like the flaming red marshmellow cooker. Kinda looked like after burners of a F-14 tomcat when the flames came out. As for my car performing the 206 whp (corrected: 198), I personally think something went wrong in dyno-ing. But I'll take my elation with a grain salt and enjoy my little sunlight. OR! My car was dirty and I think that added to the hp performance. Instead of the type R sticker theory.
My car is bone stock, as other have said, with greddy strut bars (front and rear) with a Tein Type Flex Coilovers. So the suspension shouldn't matter too much.
Oh yeah! Besure to watchout for renegade Volvo S40's in the highway. DMP, Nemesis and I almost met ill fated sliver 8's curse.

P.S. Atleast we have something to strive towards: 206 whp by manipulating the Air/fuel ratio. Hopefully! :p

Cool videos! No speed limiter eh?

I'm curious as to what other guys with stock cars were getting (other than renwar1). I'm guessing lower than 180 that the guys with Canzoomer were getting. Right?

[QUOTE=wht05rx8.....stuffed up cat?.....come on tell us....[/QUOTE]

ding ding ding.........A Beer for you! My RT high flow cat was toast. The catalyst had compressed, and plugged the outlet like a cork....could hardly see out of it. No wonder...no air out= no air in=no power!

I'm surprised the car ran at all :D

Wasn't clogged......the catalyst came loose, and compressed into the outlet due to the exaust pressure....the higher th pressure...the tighter it plugged the outlet....think really big champagne cork. Major back pressure build up :D
