You change the oil yet?

Changed it twice already. The first drain was pretty nasty with all of the assembly lube and crud in there. I'll go another 100mi or so then fill up with some synthetic. Mobil 1 is the most easily accessible but what would you recommend?

Isn't there some auto chain in CT that actually stocks amsoil? I know someone on one of my other forums mentioned a store I'd never heard of and he said he buys his amsoil there every change

:lol: If I can get a better all aluminum radiator I'm sure that the cylinder walls can take more of a beating before they start to flex at 450hp...but I want to make at least 400. It already feels like 310-315 right now and I'm only revving to 6k with 12psi. I need to raise the limiter and get some more fuel and boost in this beyotch!! I'm calling European Performance Labs for an appointment..just made up my mind :lol:

That's what I remember. Like the cost of a tune was 1000-1500 or something?

That's the price I've heard from a few too. EPL is like an hour away from me, assuming somewhere in that time range for Ben too, maybe a bit less.

Yea, you could almost go standalone for that price, but then that would need to be tuned and unless he is going to be making changes to his setup or wants to have full logging capabilities then a good tune on the stock EMS should be fine. I don't know what Tony charges for a retune?

I'm sure that once my foot is in the door I should be able to get a good deal on minor tweaks. The only forseable mod I can see myself making is to go with a bigger intercooler. Exhaust and everything is already done.
