Dam if that's true then he could gain a few seconds in the 1/4 mile times just by cleaning out his truck becuase we all know Linux has enough tools and parts in his car to do a complete rebuild on a Protege!!! (headbang)
Just one example: we are getting ready to go to Yashooa house and we pull into a gas station to get gas and Linux rolls up with Steam just billowing out and he jumps out and says "no biggie just blew a coolant line on my turbo, let it cool down and I be back up and running in 10 minutes!!!"
well car cools down Linux pops trunk and pulls out replacement parts and tools needed for said job and replaces bad hose and goes into store buys a gallon of water, fills the car back up and TA'DAAA he ready to go !!!!(headbang) (headbang) (headbang)

I also initially strongly desired someone to help me do this so I could watch and learn. Just reading online is really no replacement for experience for tuning. It greatly helped getting that initial tune done at the dyno. In my case, the guy told me what to do, and I did it. From there I was able to refine things a bit.
I keep a bag of tools in my car as well, btw...

That's not the only thing that I have that's bigger, and I'm not talkin about the stomach or ass either!!!!(evil)
Nah, I have since cleaned it out. As a matter of fact, I cleaned it after that dyno day. Then while doing some work at Beau's shop last week, I needed something that I used to have in there and was like DAMMIT!!!! It is nice to cary a "reasonable" amount of things in the trunk, but I had way too much. Like a full set of brakes for all 4 wheels, pieces of metal to make heat shields, tools out the ass and then the basics. I definatly gained a tenth or 2 by removing that stuff. But if I go on a long trip, the tool kit goes back in!!!
Well, here is the latest update..
Tonight, I did a few runs around my neighborhood. That ended in me getting my car to rev even better! So what prompted all this? On the way home, just as I was getting into my neighborhood there was this silver V6 Mustang (pre-2005) that was in front of me. I got behind them, and they took off. I would take off too and just catch them without downshifting..lol! So we get to a stoplight, and turn left. He takes off, but slows down as I was speeding up, so I shot past him. I slowed down, and went to 2nd gear. He lined up, and took off, and so did I. He was right next to me. As I shifted to 3rd, he jumped a fender, but as soon as I got into 3rd, I pulled it all back, and when I shifted to 4th, I pulled a car on him before I had to shut it down. If the road had been longer, ownage was emminent for the Mustang...lol! Well, during all this, I noticed at the top of my RPM range, that I had a flat spot where my accelleration would fall off, and my tach needle would get sluggish. I circled back and did a run, and noticed that I got a slight cracle, and my A/F ratio was too rich. Hmmm.. could being too rich be causing me some pre-ignition? You bet! I had spent all that time doing my ignition, that I had neglected to pay attention to the fuel map. So another run was done, and I watched my RPM's, my widband, and felt for the bogg and the cracle. Got it! after 5500, and right before 6000 RPM's, I get way rich, and get the flat spot. At about 63 kPa (9 PSI), I took out 2% of fuel at the 5500 and 6000 RPM ranges, and 1% at 6500 RPM's. Then I took out 1% for 73 kPa at the same RPM ranges. Damn! I went for another run, and it PULLED across the RPM wall it was at previously without a problem. My exhuast actually woke up a little up top! Reminded me of a quiet S2000! Looking at my wideband, I would hit 12.2 on my A/F max, and it would level off just below 12. I'll post up the file and picture later.

The latest..
My timing now drops to 22 degrees at the lowest point IN boost now. My BEGI side mount intercooler can't handle it over 10-11 PSI without detonation. Below are the pictures of my fuel map, two pictures of the ignition (one zoomed in, and the other zoomed out), and the Map file.

Improvement in overall efficiency of the system... you reduce the temperature of the system with the water injection or alter the octane slightly with alcohol injection and the combination can be equivalent to a much larger IC>.. it has been done and proven that a single WI system can match or exceed the performance of a single air to air front mount intercooler... that was all my point was.
Well, I went for another drive last night, and again, my BEGI SMIC is KILLING ME!! The intake temps went up to 55 c (131 F)! (flame) When that happened, *PING!* Steve, what are you intake air temps like. I actually got out and felt the hot side of my IC, and it was HOT! The cold side was pretty warm. This was only at 10-11 PSI.
