Thanks. I need to get a front mount IC now (before my 3k breakin is done) and I have to get rid of that SPT catback (it is just ugly).

Awesome!! Sounds good enough to drive over here now. Let me know what you're up to this weekend.

Definitely. I am going to have a cruise (a real cruise, no racing) around some roads I know in Austin and both Tess and I are gonna take our cars. That would be fun. I have not driven my car in so long, I just want to go on a long 2-3 hour cruise around the hill country.

Sounds like a nice break-in procedure

Enjoy the drive!

Gabe I feel your pain on the break-in I have around 2400 miles to go. Planning on a nice long cruise around lake Sam Rayburn in East TX this weekend that should help some.

Its not painful to me. Just driving the car at WG boost (and trying not to go into boost) will put a smile on my face. I really want to see how this drop in piston forged motor lasts. I am running a tad rich as you can tell from the vids and need to lower tip in, but other than that it is really damn close for a breakin mapping. Considering I changed so many things at once, I'd say I got pretty close. Once the fuel trims learned to lean out a bit, the car stopped popping and got 14.7:1 pretty much steady AFR's at idle. When I rev it up, there is way too much tip in, but I neglected to lower the values in that table in my startup mapping. A bump in the scaler and a reduction in tip in should fix it right up.

Congrats Gabe, this was a long time coming! Here's to a nice easy break-in and your continued success!

Run that one by Tess.

I think it would be cool. Or a drive out to the lake and BBQ.
