I have the MSDS headers and y-pipe. The long-tubes were just too damn expensive!

Nice Derek!
I notice you optimized your LIM...damn, I must be the only person unable to get the thing off. Looks like comapred with March you gained primarily above about 5.5K RPM...wonder if this is the main gain of the LIM optimization or the tuning? The smooth nature of the curve seems to argue more for tuning??? so I am wondering how much optimizing the LIM helped..did you feel a dif??

I'm still piddling around in the 170s club but I want to be a 180s member!

Hey, if you end up coming up this way for academic pursuits, make sure your tuner friends come up to visit you. Nice numbers, and you'll probably make them even better soon.

Dan - thanks! I'm extremely happy to be a solid 180 Club Member. More than anything, I'm just happy to have my chip back. When I optimized the secondaries, I also cleaned my intake manifolds. So, yes, I felt a difference, but I'm not sure whether it was the cleaning or the optimizing. But, if it didn't help, it certainly couldn't hurt. Like you said, because the new graph is so much smoother, my thinking is the extra power beyond 5.5K is primarily the tuning.

Bob - You obviously got a taste of how badly the mod bug has a hold of me! However, the only power adders in the plan are the U/D powersteering and alt. pullies (who knows when I'll get those on ) and maybe and 8" filter. The CTA pipe allows for a longer filter, you know.
