Sir, please set the crack pipe on the ground and step back from it.
Seriously, though, you won't get much more power without Meth injection or upgraded turbos. Take solace from the fact the we here in California make less power with the same mods since we're stuck with 91 octane gas. |

shiv should jump in and convince me to buy his procede lol
im not a fan of meth, but what really annoys me about meth is that i dnt have much of a trunk and if i was going to do meth then i would have to do a special box and AA told me i have to be careful with the pump and everything. i really would like a bottle of nitrous or cryogen and spray it infront of the intercooler. its basically the same as meth from what i understand about it.

Don't buy the PROcede if you want 'more' power, because you've already got just about all the peak power you can get with your mods. Get the PROcede for smoother power delivery, code clearing, and more area under the curve so you have more power not just up top.

well do you want power or trunk space? from the looks of your first post, you want power.
ASR or AA can do your meth kit. Besides. why are you running race gas everyday when you can get a meth kit with the same results? or do you like emptying cans of race gas in your driveway? its a hassle. I dynod the same numbers on the same dyno with V3 with 93. and you cant compare the V3 installation to the AA. I can help if you pull the trigger, i uninstalled and installed 2 tunes while i was strapped to that dyno @ Machines Gone Wild.

i wouldn't recommend installing a bottle of nitrous on top of an amp... if it gets too hot (especially playing music and driving in florida heat) u could be asking for trouble.
The trunk poses a problem, but i guess thats the price you pay for having a custom trunk. yea the chip install is a joke, it takes about 15-20 minutes at most to install a procede.

-------------------------- the meth kits come with electronic controllers usually that inject based on intake air volume/speed snow motorsports makes some nice kits from my experiences and as for your space problem you can by underhood tanks that actually tie into your washer resovior and then you just put meth in the tank since its basically the same as washer fluid minus the color, this also keeps them out of the way and keeps form makeing you run long lines or wires the low washer light then also functions as a low meth light if you have meth and arent tuned for it, its basically like running a higher octance fuel so if you run out nothing if you are tuned for it and run out, there could be issues since the tune would be for the specific energy levels contained in the fuel/meth this is what i have taken form my experiences hope it helps |

God I hate how lean these cars run...I just got my 335 this past weekend and every graph I have seen is lean...can a tuner chime in and answer why? From one source, they run lean from the factory, but with a tune, why wouldn't a tuner/processor make the AFRs safer, say in the 11.8 range?

do a google/wiki search for "direct injection". it is completely safe for the car to be that lean. |
