any takers...they run 13.2-13.5 in stock form but my car has heavy 22's on it that slowing it down...I know the 6.1 freight trains up top though...

sounds like fun.. when and where?? And do you wana run b4 or After I put on my DPs and FMIC? :P

anyone on here got a Artic M3 (i think thats the name of the color), looked like it was on some black BBS's, up in the Westchase area?

Saw one up here yesterday at around 4...looked AMAZING

With the dp's and fmic it would be a good run if you maintained @ 6 or 7psi...that's about stock boost and you would have some nice boltons...

Might have to do it during a meet...or we could just meet up one night, run, and then head to Hooters for something to eat...

Not sure it would be much fun running a JB+ or JB3 tuned car hahaha !!!

i'd get worked.

if there was a way you could "dial in" about 6 or 7 psi with the boltons, i still think it would be a great run.

i would need a cam and retune to stay with your JB3.

5psi in stock form is pretty close to a stock SRT8, but going into a run with a 16/17psi 335 is committing vehicular suicide, LMFAO !!!!

Litos · 01-12-2011, 08:24 PM

p.s.
so if a person has a bone stock 335/135 but they have a JB3, map 5 will give you the safest but most reliable power, correct?

i could turn it down to map 3 - that would put it at around 10 Psi if i remember correctly. Or Map 0 would put me back to a stock map but i'm not sure if thats a good idea with full boltons. Would I be running too lean? ( Airflow > Fuel )

Right now I just have the DCI with a JB3 on Map 5 and my car flies!! And no problems!

Litos · 01-13-2011, 03:37 PM

Oh god, that's awesome to hear...next Thursday I'm going to contact burger...I NEED that DCI and JB3 setup NOW !!!

Lol...can't wait for it...

go for the JB4 if you're going to buy new. Either way your car will be a totally different beast.. and then the mod bug will bite you like its bitten me and you'll start part hoarding like a mofo.

Litos · 01-13-2011, 09:00 PM

uughgh, i've been going through that since 2004. modding cars is like crack cocaine.

the JB4 that is out right now is just a "prototype" - it's not even on burger's site yet.

How much did they charge you? 165 was my quote from them.

HoustonTXE92 · 01-14-2011, 08:26 AM

Does anyone here have a roof rack with or w/out ski/snowboard holders that they are willing to sell? I need one for an e90. Planning on driving up to NM next week

nebbie · 01-14-2011, 07:04 PM

has anybody here picked up the cobb tune yet?

i haven't, but i would like to see some results as well.

one guy from Cobb said he could make similar or BETTER numbers than JB3/V5from just the off the shelf tune.

i'm definatelyt a Cobb supporter - just waiting to see real numbers from local Houston/Austin guys

nebbie · 01-15-2011, 03:45 PM

yeah i've been wanting to get it but they haven't pushed out the model for the 07's yet...

I have it on my e90. Had a v5 before, love both, but Cobb is easier to install and smoother and a bit more powerful

so i've heard. i have a jb3 right now and dont know if i should go the jb4 route or switch to cobb.

Litos · 01-16-2011, 10:38 AM

again, i'm in the same boat lol.

i know there are JB4's out there, but i don't think they have been officially released to the public.

as of now, wether you go JB4/V5/Cobb or GIAC it's going to come do to price.

the first 3 should give you minimum of 70-80whp just plugging into a bone stock car.

the GIAC is beneficial when you are already bolted on with DP's, FMIC, catback, etc.

the ProTuned Cobb is beneficial that way as well.

Vigorous · 01-16-2011, 12:23 PM

I currently have JB3, but I have decided to go with JB4 when the upgrade is available (hopefully around $100). However, if more dynos and reviews come out with the Cobb that justifies me starting over and paying $900, then I will look into it again. I have too many other mods I want done on the car in the meantime.
