Same tune thats the strange thing. The car sat for 5 months with no engine or battery. We got it back together and it just wouldn't get past 5psi with out going super lean.

I know Steve! I really liked the idea but I didn't get my hands on some plasti-dip until recently. I was going to ask you for help on how to make sure the dip doesn't peel off as I remove the tape but it was real easy.
--Does anyone have any info on wheel spacers? I'd like to have some poke in the front, just wondering if any of you are running any, and what size if you are.

ever since i bought the car it kinda grinded a bit going into 5th but i never did anything about it, now being supercharged and being able to rip the highway doing 220 km/h it decided to go bye bye, and now my driving like that has done the same thing to lol, but on the plus side now my tranny has only 30000 kms on it compared to my 90000 my car has and shifts a lot better now to so im happy

so I ordered myself a 2.4 intake manifold. I heard that I should hold off on the 2.4 throttle body though because it's not completely necessary, and I can run the IM without a tune so long as I don't install a 2.4 TB. Is any of this true?

you dont have to tune it for just the manifold. You will get the best gains if you do. But if you are going to tune you can also do the 2.4TB too right away.

I got mine from PWerks, $38, they are having sale now too, not sure if its only PWerks parts though.
Just need sensors I believe, and tune. And that sounds about right for your prob, stock 5ish, 2bar 14.5, and cant remember 3bar.
