^^^ LOL sall good man, glad its doing some good for somebody, I'd say the tune is coming along alright; from a dig, I used to only spin in first, now I spin through 2nd gear too on a roll(even w/the boost reduction)...from a 40 roll, I break loose these heavy ass 18's and adapters now. Its definitely quicker, not quite at that full potential but she's getting there.
Oh, you guys went from a dig? If so, that makes sense, they can run low 14's high 13's all day w/bolt ons and that's right around your ballpark down the strip too right? My guy had I/H/E toda cams, etc etc, and I would walk him from the roll(with the old set-up that was running good of course) Either way, I'd be down to try to avenge the LSJ haha, Im sure u guys got more capable LSJs than mine tho...Maybe I should throw my 17s back on the car...

EDIT ^^^ Way to post at the same time haha....but yea, launching any LSJ w/o traction control is an issue w/this s/c, I put the boost reduction in 1st gear halfway through and launching it is cake now, hardly any spin in first...Its been working out till I got this tune going, now It'll spin all the way through second so Ill throw some in 2nd, only thing is, it'll kill my 40 rolls but oh well, I gotta find a happy medium.
on a side note: Most all honda guys can launch the **** outta their cars, its pretty easy to do w/only 130ft lbs of tq at most, we gotta do this w/220+ on a fwd and try to maintain traction, its a whole different animal for us. Did you get a chance to run from a roll at all?
looks like the rain will probably cancel out today @ atco...Im down for the weekend though, hopefully this clears up before tonight. I'd probably still swing out that way just to grab sum sonic neway tho haha

Thats sucks...maybe it'll pass through, neva know. Probably not though.
2.6 aint so bad...proper cooling mods and a great tune and it'll be okay. I ran for 2 and half years on a 2.5 w/no cooling mods and an Intense can tune, oh and had a broken IC pump for the last 4 months(unknowingly) of that period. Motor still held up. It popped after I start letting ppl dick around w/the tune....
its just you gotta realize you will have certain "limits" when it comes to the extra heat ie. you cant run as much timing, your gonna need to stay a little richer. Along w/every guage/scan tool you can get to monitor your engine constantly. Now, thats when you gotta ask yourself, is all that worth the 20-30ft lbs of torque your gonna gain cuz hp wont change much. To me...YES haha

lol well damn that could be an issue....
I realized my IC pump was bad on Sunday(No movement @ the filler neck and high IAT2s at idle and cruise). Tapped it with a hammer a few times and "voila" its been working fine the whole week.
Tap it with a hammer a few times, does wonders.
True.... + Powerband, all the hp/tq in the world dont mean anything w/o a decent powerband.
This rain **** sucks, did I mention I hate the east coast.

^^the first one was the only really good one. The 2nd and 3rd we're okay. 4th kinda sucked, and I still haven't seen the 5th 'cause I heard it was really bad.
I might be down. I heard it wasn't that scary though.
