remember, if you have any guys interested in indoor staging, let me know and I think we can still fit a few more inside the Hall.
they don't have to be super show worthy as long as they're clean looking RX's, we won't be too picky.

i need to look at an 8 in person to get an idea for a coil relocation kit(none scheduled to come in at the moment).

i got tired of seeing the same issues causing so many starting issues due to their location on the massive oven where they reside throughout this forum.

i only found a reference to pettit making a kit but it's not listed on their website, not sure why this isn't a common modification for a largely known issue. coils only lasting 30k miles before tiring out is unreasonable.

and if anyone has a spare dead coil pack(s) that i can borrow to get the adapter sorted out, i'm sure i can work out a discount once i get something fabricated.

i'm not one to fly blind so i always be sure i have a grasp of what is going on with the mapping before making actual adjustments to the maps in the car. as with most software i assume you can download a map on any computer and tweak it before uploading it back into the PCM.

the main thing i have to understand the difference in is how the wideband target AFRs affect the mapping. would be my guess that there is still a relatively accurate base map until in closed loop where the upstream O2 sensor then has a target AFR range for various RPM points. timing should be hardcoded(meaning they have a set base table like fuelling maps), will have to look into if the knock sensor is utilized for actual timing retardation. all this fancy stuff to aid with might spoil me... anything even a spot out of place on the turbo 7's nets a dead 7.

i'm old school and haven't messed with these self tuning PCM's yet.. might be too easy or might not be as easy as i think!

I have spare stock coil packs in my garage. You are welcome to have one for anything you need. I have loaned, given away and traded about 10 sets to various locals to keep them running.

I currently use the BHR coil system and after SS14 will stop by to show the set up to you. Keep in mind that my coils have been moved due to the SC.

If you desire, when I come by, you can also check out the Cobb. If I remember I will bring what software I have along.

Karack, I have an upgraded ignition system in my trunk that i need to install, depending on how much poking around we do in the bay, maybe i'll just throw that on after and you can use my coils after that. (or you get grab ekliptiks, either way)

there's a ton of stuff to do, mostly depends what you're interested in and how much you want to spend. haha.

Indoor carting, outdoor carting (las vegas mini grand prix, fast lap, pole position)
free shows on the strip (bellagio, treasure island, mirage)
other paid shows that you can go to that are...well, everywhere
roller coasters
stratosphere is always interesting
