Success!!!!

Fired her up around 12:30. Dang that SC rattles a lot. It's a good thing that I knew that they do when they are at idle speed. One of my other motor head buddies drives a CTS V-Spec and he says his SC rattles like crazy after a cold start. He said it sounds like it is full of marbles!

If you have the hood closed and the windows up you can't hardly hear it. I would hate to give away my little secret at a traffic light......

The test drive didn't go so well. The car was rather jerky at low throttle but was fine with a bit of load on it. I came back home and did a Idle Air Volume re-learn and it helped a lot but it still isn't quite right. Service engine light came on after about 10 minutes of light driving. I'll go check the code and see what's up.

At least the install is almost done. I need to get the gauges installed too. The oil pressure sensor wires are going to have to be extended as they are way too short. No big deal for me but just another thing to do before I can be done.

The custom EcuTek tune will take place next Saturday. Until then I have to baby the car. I still get a little swoosh from the BOV just driving lightly, no flutter from the stock Stillen BOV so far.

The sound of the SC spinning up is sooooooooo sexy! Sounds great mixed in with the FI exhaust. Now I have to behave for a whole week before I can play with my car. I'll continue to drive it so that any problem that might be waiting for me can be discovered before heading over to Z1. It is about a 3 1/2 hour drive so I want the car to have plenty of shake down time before heading out.

I'll post a dyno chart after the tune.
