Appreciate you sharing the exact specs of wheels and offsets.
Hey what's up Bud! I don't know if you had interest but I found a really inexpensive option through ForgeStar. They come out to around 1600$ a set shipped for a set of 18's that clear the Carbon Ceramic Brakes. The offsets are good too

PM me that if you don't mind. Yes I am going to desperately need a set of E/T Streets on 18's once this is all said and done. Thank you!

Sorry for the lag in updates ! On base tune as we speak capped at 4500 rpm but man oh man is she nasty! Sorting a few issues with MAF on tune due to no longer being a tubular housing and now in the intercooler. Also the clock spring was misalligned while engine was out and all my tracs stability suspension and rear end lights are on saying service, we’re guessing that the steering angle sensor has to be recalibrated to fix (I hope anybody else have any experience with this?) here’s a few pics love you guys!

PS that procharger big red is way to fing loud, jeez. Might have to stuff a few headbands around it to muffle it or something

I have exactly the same issue, my traction abs and service is on when i got my engine out and still the same, even though that before the engine was out everything was good

in for info about how to resolve that

abother thing, change the maf sensor location from the inter cooler to the charge pipe it will be way much easier to tune it

Was you airbag light on? Mine was then we replaced clockspring and it went away, Jorge for JB figures it just needs a dealer reset on the steering angle. Super glad to hear I’m not the only one Black! Phew ! I’m sure it’s something small

Also Black do you have a copy of your tune file ? We can’t get this one dialed in for the MaF variances, would be awesome if we could compare yours to trouble shoot

it was frustrating to get it tuned while the maf located in the intercooler we where trying to tune it while it was there for hours and every time we get different reading and wasn’t able to let it idle perfectly, changed the maf sensor location to the charge pipe and was idling perfectly from the first time and got it to run perfect.

I will give you a shortcut, relocate your maf sensor

Make absolutely sure NO vacuum leaks also that will wreak havoc in your idle or low rpm driveability. Even with my MAF in the intercooler (for now until I move it post wastegate when I get that installed) it purrs like a kitten, just as it did stock. Even with my 103 katech and G1Pro LTx. Car is a blast to drive and even took it to Roebling Road Raceway and beat on her good not a single issue not even overheating @18psi. Chris Crawford did a hell of a job tuning mine. Can't say enough about the work he did. All the best bud keep the posts coming!

Bro I bet you it’s the same problem I have l, the clock spring and steering angle sensor went bad after the wheels were turned I had airbag lights, stabilitrak disabled, engine power reduced, rear axle system off, suspension failure, power steering failure. also my steering wheel controls didn’t work.

Jorge from JB Performance figured it’s probably the clock spring/steering angle sensor. Clock spring replaced first and fixed steering wheel buttons and airbag light. We could t reset steering angle in the computer so I just changed steering angle sensor and 2 of my dash warning no longer appear, all that’s left is stabilitrak and suspension failure and power steering failure, seeing as merely installing that stopped the other lights I will put my $$$$$ on it once I re learn the steering angle those lights will vanish.

Hit the dyno and ran into fueling issues. At 5k rpm we are running out of fuel even w the weaponx port kit. We’re shaping 31psi all the way down to 15 psi under load. Adjusted fpr and having trouble keeping it steady it fluctuates please see video below
