Hey Chris, car feels so much better now, boost comes on instantly, jumps to 13#'s, I saw 14#'s last night before letting out of it. With the other blower most I saw was 12.5#'s. We datalogged everything and my fuel system duty cycle was @ 90%, still wondering if you may have a bad injector, seems like it must be something fuel related causing your problems. Hopefully you find your problem soon.

Got mine squared away today. My duty cycle was at something like 80%. We replaced almost everything to include injectors, pump etc. Feel like an idiot. Faulty TPS at wide open throttle. It was working fine at idle and half throttle but zeroing out at wide open throttle. So I will have the car back tomorrow. It did put down 510rwhp. Finally glad that we found the problem.

Well....congrats to both of you!:beer: I know you both have been pretty frustrated and a little concerned about the outcome. Everything has finally worked out and life is good again. :thumbsup:

Hey Chris! Tried to call last night. I leave in the morning for Ohio to pick up my trailer and drop off some heads.

Kenny, I'm confused.

So you have another Apten ported Eaton? I thought in that AR Port Special thread you said you got Amazon's??

Kenny,
I'm glad they got you squared away man...I was very nervous about installing my Apten when I heard about your situation. I got it put on a few days ago along with a 2.90 and diablo chip...#'s went from 445rwhp to 502/475. I also love the sound and throttle response that the Apten provides. Now all I need to do is get some traction and get rid of the wheel hop! Congrats on the #s man! Hope you can steer me in the right direction as far as getting that power to the pavement huh!
