[QUOTE="fishpick, post: 15573705, member: 182347"] Thanks man. Very excited about the prospect of the car hitting the roads today for its maiden voyage. I kinda feel bad for the guy I bought this off of - it was a really nice kit (for the most part) ;) Here in NY - it's either certified run flats all the way around or a spare in the trunk to pass inspection... so I think I'll keep the spare... cause I am eying the Boss 19" staggered 9's and 10's for wheels / tires... because I know my stocker 18's are not gonna cut it. But - I also don't know squat about rubber for a car like this post-boost and when I get there I'm gonna ask questions and learn so I don't buy for looks but hooking up! As for the the tune - [USER=156070]@Paul.[/USER] loves his canned Whipple one... and I haven't driven anywhere so I can't tell you if I like it or not. Aside from exhaust, the only mod I ran on the car before the blower was a VMP 93 octane tune and the difference in the auto was night and day - if the Whipple has that kind of tuning, I'll be thrilled... if the transmission is more factory mushy with more power from the blower, I'll look elsewhere. That said - I do have one "thing" with the car that's gnawing at me and I don't THINK it's a problem here in NY (at least not yet) but that's the VIN in the PCM is not my VIN because of the cluster upgrade... I think I have a way to reflash everything and still with the 2014 code but insert my 2012 actual VIN into the PCM and ABS... if I decide to try that, obviously I NEED a new tune - either Whipple to reissue my current one with the new strategy or an actual one. If I do get there, I'd be debating a dyno tune - was thinking about AED remote and street pulls but you can't use 1st or 2nd for the WOT pull and I have no desire to hit 130 on a highway. So - just don't know. I'm sure Whipple would re-issue my tune for me with the original VIN, they were pretty understanding about that when I requested the tune. So today is trimming and mounting of the front bumper cover, sticking a 30A fuse in F13 - the fuel pump fuse spot in the fusebox for the BAP, and a oil and filter change (Mobil 1) just to be safe after all work even tho the stuff in there has had less than 30 minutes of runtime on it since last fall... and just a few other odds and ends... and then at LEAST a trip around the block. Here in NY you can't remove car insurance on a registered car but State Farm lets you declare the car has been removed from seasonal service and drops your rate (with the mileage on the car) to like 25%... today - it's listed as back in service!
