If your asking me... Well, here's my problem... I live somewhere close to BFE and no one around here can do a tune, that's why I decided at the last minute to go ahead and add the rear O2s... and I'm throwing zero codes so that worked out... I would love to get a tune though, I know I'm leaving some power on the board...
Video... my digital camera can do video, do you think that would be OK? Maybe I'll put someone in the hatch area with the camera and leave the glass up and really let it rip!
No I better not...
Pics... Yes more Pics to follow when I get the welding completed!

My headers will be here tomorrow and I will probably have them on by the weekend as soon as they go on my tuner will do the tune on it. I'm not sure if I will get a dyno pull or not for awhile. Dyno #s truely don't mean much to me though I prefer real world #s that matter to me an thats a drag strip which I will have the # improvements asap an will keep yall filled in.

Yes the car is filthy
Yes the engine was already warmed up
And yes the PCV line was disconnected! LOL I didn't catch that till afterwards and I was re-tightening the Header bolts!

tim, mine is actually hitting. I may take my grinder to the boot and grind it flat a bit to see if it helps some. If not, ill have to go w/ a 45 deg boot or a heat sock.

I wonder if you could loosen the Header bolts and slide it forward just a touch? It doesn't take much as the boots are high temp silicone...
