Since Jeff is a friend, I'll play salesman, $695.00 and it includes the maps that you need to get started, the tune labor when we have the dyno day and any map changes.

Anthony, I don't know how many times I already asked you to see if the one NGK spark plug was in your car somewhere or maybe in the glove box, and never once have I gotten a responde.. I also, asked you if you were done using the jumper cables and you didn't answer to that as well. I need to jump start my own car to make sure everything is running smoothly..

You're welcome bro! I'm glad you like it Jordan, it looks great! Nice & shiney! I'm also glad you brother likes his new front & rear smoked lights.. Take some pictures of his car as well if you don't mind, I never got around taking pictures when I had them on my Mustang..

Sorry, for sounding like an *** about it, it's just that I haven't gotten an answer from you even after asking you a few times about it. I just feel bad because it's been about a week almost, and I haven't been able to give Jason, an answer yet. Any case, did you end up jumping Kristal's car? Was the battery dead or what? Besides that, give me a call tomorrow before you go to work..

I'll post tomorrow when the mod can be done, but any time installing it but tuning will have to wait until we have our dyno day.

Most of the guys I knew that did residential got out of the business but let me check with one of the contractors I know and see if his carpenters still do residential.

So any of you guys on the "let's wait and see" list can know that you will gain somewhere between 20 & 30 horsepower, better mileage on the highway (can't help you much in town), better cooling, higher redlines, removal/lack of any pesky cels and just an overall better operation.

I've heard some of you say it's expensive but watch you add marginal stuff at near the price of the AP for little if any hp increase.

I am arranging for Jeff to come to Vegas (as soon as he can clear up a date) to tune my car on the dyno and there is no reason that he could not do others at the same time. He was not able to do the earlier date but I'll nail him down. As soon as I nail him down I will again set a Dyno Day event.
I am very interested in this... Must buy Cobb AP

Sorry, if I'm mistaken Phil, but didn't you say that you can't have both.. It's either more HP which means you lose MPG, or the other way around less HP and better MPG?!

Mix the Coca-cola and the Captain Morgan Spiced Rum into a cup, stir together and enjoy Easy! Tastes an awful lot like Vanilla Coke when mixed properly!
