You mean by light up the tires you mean a burn out, sure I do them all the time. Though I don't think I do them well (I'm an auto by the way). Ask Scrming though, he does some good burn outs on his. He's better at it than me.

The C&L intake and Bamachips tune was the reason I had to get a limited slip differential just a month later. Even with the 87 octane performance tune, I could spin the passenger-side tire at half-throttle from a dead stop. I had to relearn how to drive the car, babying the gas at take-off just so the tire wouldn't chirp. The higher octane torque and performance tunes are amazing. I've settled on the 92 octane performance tune and been oh so happy. Oh yeah... methinks you'll dig it!

rygen, my car doesn't seem to compair to yours and screamings, and I dont think it ever will, although after reading about screamins weekend, it is tempting to find out about a s/c or turbo now lol, I would like to be able to smoke the tires from dead stop even after the lsd, if I reach that I'm done, it will all be show after that (plenty of billit supplies)

Ok, I'm talking about NA, not on the juice, and given that, you are gonna be the same as me. With practice, you can still do burn outs with your car. Just takes practice. I actually asked Scrming how he did his earlier today.

How does your mileage look after you guys tuned? Driving like a maniac after the tune, aside, when driving from A to B without going crazy (but still fairly speedy), has your mileage taken a hit?

I can hit 22/23 when I drive normal......

....but normal was a long time ago, I was a different person then! LOL. Seriously though, it does fine when you are gentle on the gas pedal. Good luck with that one. [8D]
