I have the flash, when I first got it, it made the car fun to drive again. Reving up to 9800 looks wrong, but it pulls all the way through, it doesn't flatten out anymore.

David, I thought the new RB flash only upped the revs to 9300? I want to get Mazmart water pump. I saw Lyian buy one and it's a nice quality piece of work.

nopers, it goes all lthe way to 9800, sometimes I think there is a glitch, twice, there was no beep and I think I got it to 10k :eyecrazy:

i'm not ready to change that out yet, the Flash runs the fans on sooner so I'm running cooler anyway. He's just very picky

I think the motor can only withstand 13000 rpm, after that the stock engine will rip apart. I never thought that the Int-X was worth the $1300-1500. I just never see my self change the maps that often.

no, go on to RB site, and download the directions and it'll show you how. Just unplug the neg terminal on the battery, just for safeties.

Taking the PCM should be super easy, I think the bolt size is #8 I got this done to my car along with a hi-flo cat and it sounds very "rotary"
