Ahhh....once I throw the Stillen exhaust on this weekend we will be pretty even on mods minus the oil cooler and tune...

But mine has 2k miles vs 50k, would be a fun run lol

oil cooler doesn't add any performance just helps it run longer lol

but yea i'm at 48k right now as well but by the time I put it away next month it'll be right on/around 50k miles

I def need to clean or replace my intake filters and the MAF and TB cleaning I feel could help not too sure if I want to undertake that whole strip and clean process lol but I got 3-5 months of down time.

Sounds good. I'll be resting mine in winter too, probably will wait til December to do it tho...

Why do you think it needs a maf cleaned

50k mile area might need it. wont know until I check them. not too hard to unscrew and check.

I will readily admit that an AT is probably faster....I could care less. It is still boring.

Just means you either can't drive or don't have balls when driving.

I'm an AT kind of guy but I like your attitude. Drive what you like.

Leaving stock cats on?

I have a 7AT with Borla cat back, Fast Intentions cats, K&N intake and ecutek tune. I'm going in for 3 dyno pulls tomorrow and will post the numbers. There are times I think I made the wrong choice with the automatic, but it was only one part of the overall package when I bought the car and I'm still VERY happy with the car I decided to buy.

Dynojet dyno (STD smoothing: 5). Pulls were done in 4th gear.

Max Power 291.56 at 7.32 RPM Max Torque 249.14 at 4.31 RPM
Max Power 294.18 at 7.41 RPM Max Torque 250.91 at 4.42 RPM
Max Power 295.97 at 7.42 RPM Max Torque 250.82 at 4.36 RPM

Will post the chart later. All I have it a print out for now.

I haven't had experience with MA yet but they seem like good guys from what I've seen. Plus they build for forsberg and im a big fan lol

i think 90st has the strongest motor on record with most mileage.

on another note, i run stillen gen3 cai / cbe and i highly doubt i'd break 310 WHP after a tune. my humble goal would be low 30x's at the wheels.
