And as you wrote, even though I have three modes I only use one. Just like my steering wheel telescopes I never adjust it.

Exactly my point!
EXACTLY MY POINT! Forget 17 modes.....
You have a nearly infinitely adjustable 6 way power seat and I'm 100% certain that everyone that
has a power seat ONLY DRIVES IN ONE POSITION.
You know the drill.
Thanks Joe!

1. You don't have to disconnect your ECU and mail it to Cow, and wait a week to get it back, and reconnect it.
Incorrect. You send your vin # and I build a different pcm and ship it to you. You swap the pcm which is about the
same time as it takes to install other Chinese products and run the wires and mount the module.
Ours is invisible, THE ONLY 100% safe solution, infinitely adjustable by us and can have 2 or sometimes even
3 modes selectable via the TC button. More power, better response, and CAN NOT fail leaving you in a very unsafe
situation. NOBODY waits a week for CoW BOOSTER!. There is no waiting whatsoever.
Many people have tried the competitors product.... and switched to mine. After driving them both the difference
is VERY clear. Search the forum for answers.
Additionally, regarding the supposed 17 settings. Totally ridiculous as anyone that drives it uses only 1 or 2 settings
ever after trying them all. Most of the 17 are useless and of no value.
That's not just my opinion, but the opinions most of the people who switched to me.

thanks chuck. May be giving you a call soon. The car is going in for headers and a few other upgrades before spring. I think I'm gonna add this to the list.

update: I picked up some trick flow 255 heads, and am in the process of selecting a cam. I am going to mill the heads down about .03" and use a 04" head gasket to try and bump the compression a bit. this is primarily to try and preserve low end power. Ill also be running a rick crawford modded intake and RCR ported throttle body. Still on the fence about an ATI 10% balancer.
I think I'm going to end up with something like a 227/237 cam running 5-6 degrees of overlap. My goal is to maintain good street manners while cruising at 1500 rpm, retain crisp throttle response that is there now, and retain the same level of torque that i have beween 2000-3000 rpm. I'd like to start seeing gains from 2700ish rpms all the way to 6500-6700 rpm.
Anyone have experience with a moderate sized cam like the one I am considering? particularly interested in street manners, low end torque, and how far the power carrier into the upper rpms.

I didn't go with this cam but I was eye balling it very hard. An that's the 21st Century Muscle cars CMC-30 cam. It may be good if you give them a call and maybe ask them about it. It's a 227/239 on a 114 LSA (I think on the LSA). It's supposed to be 5 or 5.5 degrees of overlap from what I've researched.
An also call Brian Tooley Racing maybe they can help you out and they also sell cam motion cams let them know what your goals are and they can point you in the right direction. Just trying to help you out.

With full bolt on and heads you could get to 450rwhp with a negative overlap cam...tuning and resulting drive manners would likely be easier/better. I recommending asking 21st Century about their CMC-15 cam instead.

I am over 450 with out heads or cam but I did use 1.85 rockers.

That intake is going to be the restriction for you. They are fine for a stock or small cam only turning 65-6800 after that you want a more adequate intake like a fast or sniper. If you dont plan on turning the car 7k plus then your just making noise in the parking lot so do what ever you want lol
I love the thought of spinning to 7200rpm, but in reality, if I can achieve good power all the way to 6800 as you describe with the ported intake and throttle body, I think I'll be pleased as punch. I'm not 100% sold on the merits of the 102mm intake stuff on a naturally aspirated car that isn't spinning ultra high rpms. My understanding is that the way Rick modifies the intake and throttle body, it makes better power than a standard ported intake, and it should carry that power a bit further in the RPM band.
I am wondering whether or not I need to switch intake valves from the stock TFS heavy SS ones, to a lighter Titanium or hollow stemmed valve though. A few people have mentioned that you can get valve float with these heavier valves on the trick flow heads. My next question would be, if I do that, would I also need to swap out springs?

trade off is people prefer to do a trunion upgrade and save money. I prefer a solid valvetrain that’s gentler on the guides as well as a true 1.85 ratio not a variable 1.7

If your goal is .600" lift, it's better to get there using the mildest lobe and the most rocker that you can.
If your goal is .675" lift in order to maximize your heads potential.....then it's DEFINITELY better to do it with as much rocker as possible.
