If youre ever in the area let me know ahead of time and I can look at it. I dont think I have any site visits for work in Tucson soon, if I do ill let you know.

Just some timing adjustments and possibly PE adjustments nothing too major. Since its getting cooler out it might not be as big a problem as when it was hot. Tucson does have E85 though... Just saying.

Do you have a WB or interceptor?

I have an interceptor but no wideband. I might be up In Phoenix Thursday to drop my mom off at the airport. Not 100% sure I will be driving my car up though. Pm me and let me know how much those adjustments would cost me. Pretty tight on $ right now after my trip.

I might be able to bring my laptop to work depending what time you will be dropping her off because the change should be quick. I have motorcycle riding class starting thursday directly after work so I couldnt do it after.

For better AFR tuning we could set a different date up sometime after the tweak to do a wideband tune if your tuner didnt do one. I have a standalone wb sensor and box for just that.

They will find stuff you don't need done, start on it, then call you telling you how much it is, and I beleive they broke my car, then charged me to fix it. Also when they were working on the motor they installed the belt tensioner wrong, so it flew off, well guess who they charged for a new one....these people are total crooks.

Sucks about how much you paid before but the Roll Pin is normal wear and tear. Really shifting hard and fast doesnt have much to do with it. I rarely drive the **** out my car and shift crazy and mine went when trying to park. I replaced mine with a roll pin that can handle up to 4500 shear lbs. I also put these in Trav's car when I pulled the trans out.

you are saying that as a joke, but theoretically, yes. it will lower IATs, which will help lower knock, and increase flow along with the new exhaust i am putting on.

I think that was a serious question as we don't know the inlet difference of your stocker and a 4.3 unit.

Nice.Should see a huge difference in flow alone.Now the M62 won't be bottle necked at the inlet.

Side note.New tires!!!!! 225/45ZR17 Falken Ziex 512.Did a 1st gear pull and theses things hook pretty dam good.I am impressed!!

really it could go either way or could stay the same. more air in the same volume of space SHOULD heat it up a bit more, which would cause more knock and be less powerful, but less restriction in drawing the air in SHOULD cool it off some. which will cause less knock, and be MORE powerful. There is a point where it will equal out and be perfect. Everyone i know with a 4 inch intake says its good. I know a few that even have 3 and 3.5 inch intakes on their N/A motors, and say they use everybit of it. This MIGHT MAKE me have to get bigger injectors and tune though.
