The Cervini's C-series ducktail is at the body shop now. It should be ready by Wednesday. Sigh I hate the wait game.
Cool! That is my next mod. I love new toys! What are they charging you to paint it?

The body shop that painted my hood, quarter and window scoops is only charging me 100 to do the spoiler. 1 of their scoops decided to peel in one small spot. So they agreed to repaint all the scoops for free and the spoiler for 100 dollars. When I took the scoops off and left them in my house one of my cats or both decided they wanted to dig through them. The scoops looked awesome but there were small imperfections in the rubber when they were ejected out of the mold that was easier to see when painted so everything is getting a good sanding and repainted.

Ok I got the car re dyno'd today and it wasn't pretty. The dyno LOCK tune from brenspeed ran really rich making the dyno halt the test. We then switched to the tune I drive with and we hit 445 RWHP but the A/F was still rich at 10.8. I left brent a voicemail at brenspeed to see what we can do. Waiting for response back. Also the body shop that is painting my spoiler didn't even get it primed yet so I don't think I'll get that until Friday this day turned out to be pretty crappy

If anyone is interested in the dyno sheet here it is. The jump in the graph is due to using an automatic not in dyno lock. It's not bad but I know the car can do more. The tune isn't right yet. I have an appointment to get my car custom dyno'd on Thursday but I would like to see if brenspeed can fix the issue. They say adding the headers and xpipe should not cause this issue. I used the exact same dyno tune I used the last few dyno sessions so all that was changed was new kooks headers, we removed the cats went to an offroad xpipe. Thats it.

Put the engine on a lift, jack up the engine, unscrew the screws holding down the mounts and thescrews that hold themounts to the engine, then swap and reverse.

If you put the car on stands you can use a regular jack, you can place ablock of wood or something on the jackso the engine sits on the wood. You have to lift the engine a good few inches to get the stock mounts out of the car.
