Well finally made the switch...Plus dyno's! 9/16 updated!

Well guys I myself have been with CPE in the beginning and then moved on and well what can I say I'm back. I've been back for a few weeks now and my car is loving me for it. I'm currently in the process of switching all my 'mutt' mods out for CPE parts. Already have my FMIC on and the DP in the garage going on next week. Once I get the fuel pump in and engine mount which should be within a few weeks as well, I'll be going to the dyno. I'll dyno once before and then after the flash within 5 degree's of ambient temps.

I'm running 13.88's at 102 up here in 5800 elevation. Not too bad considering that was only a 2.2 60' ft and I've trapped 104mph up here already. Seriously can't wait for that flash to get me in the mid 13's hopefully.

Another thing that we all know is the outstanding customer service from Jordan / Lou / eh Josh :P. I've had my own issues with stuff because I'm a dumbass but Jordan and everyone at CPE has been there to help me through it and make sure it was done right in the end. I've never had anything bad to say about their customer service and I doubt I ever will. I've given the standback its rash of s*** in the past but comparing it to the AP (no this is not a bash session) it makes the car run like it should not like a POS.

I will be updating this thread once I get the dyno done and then I will send my ECU in for a reflash the next day so it should all be completed within about 4 days roughly... not to long for a back to back comparison

i saw your car on cardomain before. what did you do to get that grill in there, since the stock one is molded and part of the bumper. Did you have to cut the stock one out or something?
 
Those are Hella horns. Interesting mounting points. Most people install them in front of the radiator so they can be seen through the grill. Obviously with a FMIC that's a no-go.
 
I wanted them a bit more stealthy ;P I had those installed since i bought the car amlost.. Just lucked out the piping for fmic didn't interfere with any of it.
 
Mod please update thread title with new dyno posts?

Also new dynos!

*** 5800 Elevation Dyno *** On a Dyno DYNAMICS - load bearing dyno!

Also you'll notice on third dyno sheet that the turbo wasn't holding boost. Jordan from CPE will be fixing that for me shortly and I will re-dyno

Yep I cut the stock one out ;)

hey on cutting it out how did it mount? I wasnt sure if the rest of the bumper was flimsy after that. also good to see that it fits the stock bumper. does it clip on in the back so there are no gaps???
