Started tuning last night. A couple of pulls at 18PSI shows a VERY linear power cure and a very low intake temp (helps reduce knock). I'm just doing a gas tune till my IDC's hit 90%, then I'll start adding in meth/H2O.

Finished my gas tune today :) I ran out of fuel at 21.6PSI (90% IDC's). Tomorrow is my track day up at Summit Point, so I'll probably be running gas only this weekend. If I get a chance to do some tunning though, the H2O/Meth will be turned on and timing/boost will get a bump.

Thanks for Adam (HappyIdiot) and Jason (Elzorro), I now have a very quiet Suby! Craptastic headers have been taken off and replaced with nice 3 bolt flange versions. The headers, downpipe and some intercooler pipping have been wrapped with DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap. New GrimmSpeed gaskets have been put everywhere. The result: Extremely quiet DD with good power :) Spool is back up, sound is down... just as it should be :) I'll follow with pictures of the headers/uppipe later!

I'm hoping for the same effect when I drop off the bug-eye at Bilbo. Have an appointment Tue for a first look and estimate for re-replacing the headers and replacing suspension bushings.
But I sort of liked when I could hear you coming :!:

I have to admit... It is almost a little too quiet!

I logged some this morning on the way into work.... I've been running VERY rich. Time to lean this sucker out!

So.....Is it done yet???? Shouldn't there be a fire breathing L terrorizing the streets and dirt by now? :D Just kidding. I am just going to try to get my project done before yours. Though I shouldn't talk to much trash as I will need you to get mine tuned.:)
