Where is MAM!??

[MSP608]

yeah I think I will get the perrin fmic and wait for a manifold in the for sale section. I thought I might hear somthing by now from mam but screw it. it kinda sux because their fmic come with spal fans and a short ram intake. I probally would have sold the intake anyways.

id suggest something other than the perrin. i mean it looks badass filling up the bumper but theres just too much involoved. plus if you dont plan to go over 10-12 psi its not neccisary to have one that large, just get a side mount. be prepared to spend alot of time having to deal with the power steering cooler and ac condensor not to mention cutting your frame/grinding/sanding/primering.

also after i installed my perrin front mount the car has run like crap ever since. i think thats due to the fact the core is so huge compared to the stock piece and my car could use a good tuning. but the power gains were very very noticeable and i think it added the most even more than my vibrant exhaust.

ohyea one more thing, if you plan to run the dual setup youll have to have someone tig weld a flange on your pipe. that can be difficult since tig welders arent the most common.

it doesn't 2 months to get phone and internet hooked up

I bet it can.. it's taking over 3 weeks for the cable company to get out here and activate our cable internet.. we don't need an installation or anything.

i can see it take more time for residential customers but when you have a business, those things are the most important. i mean at least a phone, come on! this is rediculous. only thing i can see is that he didnt order the services yet because he's busy enough for now. i would be uber pissed off at the tel company if id been waiting 2 months for a phone and internet.

You can get it done here in about 2 to 4 days. unless he's in a rural area or something far from the main distribution point and they have to bring f-o cables to his place lol

arright if youre gonna tune it with management id say go for it then. definitely the biggest core out there for this car. but id back off a little on the boost until you get all those other mods in. are you monitoring your afr with a wideband when you boost that high?

no I have a narrow band which I know is junk but it does help. for some reason my car does very well with 15 psi. no detonation or anything. I must be one of the lucky ones....for right now

no audible knock

 

[Metal MP5]

my J&S' monitor lights up sometimes and i never heard anything coming from my engine

from what i've read, it's already too late when you hear it

 

[terbow]

right. not all knock is audible. you can hear it if u have a stethascope attached to ur engine and ear while driving, but then again, youll just look wierd.
