set to 11ish psi

well just checked with my online banking, my paycheck came in and i have enough money to by the manifold right here and now...bad thing is, i will be poor for the next 2 weeks meaning coming home for lunch from work, no fun money, so yeah, i will wait a wee bit longer...stimulus check should be mailed out by now, the letter i got in the mail said no later than the 6h of june was it going to be mailed to me, so yeah almost there guys, there is 600 coming my way, i already have the manifold money, and 600 more would buy the tune and some dyno time...than again everytime i go to the place to dyno they are real cool with me and give me twice the runs for the same amount of money i just think the guy is bored as i am the only one to go dyno, that or i just go during lunch time , but i might be able to see if i can get them to sponsor..i mean it wont cost them anything, hell not like they need the dyno everyday or nothin im sure they can work something out with me, and i need to talk 2 them to see how they do their a/f runs, as they have it as a option, need to see if its a wideband or weather they just tap on my stocker<<--which is what i think they do

yeahthat is true, but i wanted to make it to a pretty big event in the beggining of july...i mean i technically could stil make it, instead of ordering the stuff from innovate, i can do it the old fashion way and have a a/f dyno to see what my a/f's are, weather they are lean or rich, im sure they will rich as the beggining tune is sappose to rich for safety reasons, but just to make sure, i mean i could do that, that will leave me with enough money to buy the tune and pay for dyno time, and still have money left over for the 4hr drive to and back where im going

alright thanks bro, i didnt know...i just needed one...and next day would cover it think of it as you lowered the price on the many, and i wanted next day shipping, so it balanced back out to normal , there was a big even i wanted to make...but i wont make it...well i could, but i wont go if im not boosted, no point in taking a regular cobalt up there...i mean sure i have loads of mods, but nothin people who dont drive cobalts would notice, everyone think my ebrake came with a CF handle...no one knows it really comes as a brick, i have CF ebrake handle, CF ebrake boot, short shifter, CF shifter boot, solid mounts, intake, exhaust etc, basically all bolt ons......so yeah...i wont make it, but i hope to make it to the texas heatwave boosted and completely tuned...my ETA is mid july

http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lm1.php

^^^theres the reason my deadline cant be met, that bitch is expensive...429 is what the one i need cost...

well just got off the phone with speed mafia, mentioned somethings that will help me save a few hundreds and still allow me to datalog and monitor my a/f...very geneous...def going that route, speed lemme know the price on what we discussed, also i just bought the ebay intake to help clean up the engine bay...all those coupler in there will look hidious, this way i can have a pre bent set up, all i would have to do is just connect the end of it to the IC piping, and there you go

Why are you getting the innovative wideband? I use the AEM UEGO for all my tuning and it works great and is far less complicated. Also, you can get them from $200-$250 shipped. This is what I recommend for all people on here getting ready to tune their cars.

I guess if you want to pay that much more for that reason than to each his own. I'm all about keeping things clean, but when it comes to power I want to get there first then worry about how it looks personally.

the db-1 innovate with sensor can be had for the same price as the AEM UEGO and i've heard more complaints with inaccuracies f the UEGO / havin more frequent recalibrations to do calibrations. innovate makes the best wide band package on the market ( it's not the one he's getting) but i trust innovate for this one..

JN2 i can get you my cost on the AEM as well if you like...actually let me just get a bunch of prices for you including my cost on the LM-1 just in case we want to go that route.

thanks Kevin

I personally have two AEM UEGO's and they do not require recalibrations period. They work great right out of the box, and I have never had an issue tuning my Cobalt nor my Integra with them. I have also verified mine on a local Mustang dyno's wideband and they were right on par. I've heard all the time how Innovatives are so great, yet people are always having to recalibrate them and all sorts of other setup issues. To each his own, but I only recommend what I've proven to be worthy of being installed in my own cars.

Yeah, I am by no means putting down Innovative as their wideband was rated a bit more accurate than the AEM UEGO, but the UEGO came in a close second! The UEGO just wins it hands down IMO for ease of use/installation not to mention the huge difference in price.

Hell, I was even able to setup the output wire exactly where my HPTuners box sits so I can easily access it and easily hide it when not in use!
