Remember those crazy thoughts about a daily driver. Get her tuned.

Oh yea, I remember.lol. It does just fine 3 out of 4 times, but that one time she'll go dead if I dont save it. I keep having to put off the tune b/c I dont have everything set up for my NX kit(I gotta get a nitrous tune also). I just ordered Xcal2, Window switch, Fuel pressure safety switch, and I have yet to decide on a Fuel pump. As it stands, it should be tuned a week from tommorow (Sat Jan 6).

Yea, I guess I'm an idiot. My small brain could understand if it didnt idle AT ALL, or if it idled all the time, I just dont get why it does some and dont some. Is there anything I could tweak with the Diablo (spark, fuel mixture... etc), or do I just have to wait?

i would just wait man. let a professional tune the car youve dumped money in. the worst thing that could happen is you self tune in and something goes wrong and your out a $5000 bottom end. that would suck

And quit pounding on it til you tune it. You wanna blow something up? Seriously though, I'd take it VERY easy with it, and what till that proper tune.

Oh you are right that would suck. I'll wait. Shes just gonna set there and be pretty til then anyways.

P.S. I'm not a big Gators fan( I go to school at University of Tennessee), but I'm really diggin the Orange and Blue. Looks awesome.

Hey code and David, what kinda fuel pumps are yall running? Ive got a FRPP 01 Cobra pump)450 at the fly), and I'm afraid she crap out on my 100 shot much less the 150. Im needin another one here within 4 or 5 days. Stang2000 I already know u got the 03 cobra pump and tank, but I dont wanna do all that. lol
