Just glad you fogured out what the hell was wrong with the car mighted. The BAP at 400rwhp wont do jack.. its more for that, tweener phase of going from 450 to 500 from what I gather.

You getting a tune with that kit in the mail? If not I would be emailing Justin ASAP to get him to email you one. If you bought the full kit with the SCT though, I would imagine it comes preloaded on the tuner.

Lawrence, congrats on getting the m90 kit. Its really gonna wake up your car. Make sure you have a driveshaft loop for that DS now, you have the power to get it done.

As far as the m90 haters out there......you guys really make me laugh. You can call it a baby blower, jr blower, mini blower etc......it dont matter to me. For $3k I added a 100 HP to my car, knocked a second off my quarter miles times and the best part, I have no fears of blowing my motor or trans while enjoying my car.

Im happy just was shooting for 450. runs great.. the tune is probably on the high side of conservative. The tunes for max/safe.

I know how you feel buddy. I'm not real content with my 417 number. That being said, I hammered it yesterday out of my parking lot (no one here and I work at a warehouse) and I lost control instantly. I was coming slightly out of a turn and the car went but never really straightened out. After running about a football field length, I couldn't control it anymore and just hit the brakes before I killed myself. The rear just slid all over the place. Don't really know what to do to fix it. Got Roush stage 3 suspension and BMR LCA's.. Perhaps a Watts link? I dunno. Point is, why bother adding power if the car can't handle the power it already has..lol

Everyone chases a dyno number and it is just that a number. Like you I had in my head 450 for a HP level. With my M90 I have 422whp and 417wtq. The car can just spin through 1st and 2nd so with that I am happy with the power level. As for what you can do is tires.

The other thing there is no other SC with the whine of the M90!!!
