Default well its in!

so the install took about 4 and a half hours. it was pretty strait forward. we had to wait to get her on the dyno. chris from SCT is in town and he is the one doing the tune (BTW he is the VP of the CO so i think he knows what he is doing) anyway because its all new he had it just run at idle for a while just to get baselines we finally started some runs and things were looking real good. so we moved up a bit. then she seamed to have a flat spot at high rpms. the general concensis is that the plugs can't make enough spark ay WOT. so first thing in the morning Dave will replace the plugs with other ones and do anothe run. i had to come home due to appt tomorrow but dave is going to keep me posted. im really tired so try to keep the questions to a minimum. plus i dont know much right now. it was prety funny at magnesun today at first. I was at knotts all day last week and never got nay crap about the 6. but there when we started pulling her apart everyone that walked buy was "hey your missing 2 cylinders" funny when we were done with the install everyone was like hey that looks pretty cool. so chris is pretty confident he will have her up and running . Ill go get her in the morning on saturday. i just got home i rented a car.

It's lookin' great! Sounds like they'll dial it in tomorrow.

So, the X-charger uses the stock airbox, eh? I wonder... is there any way to put a cai on it?

actualy that is the gt airbox it has a larger MAF the is the california configuration. the 49 state vertion will be with a larger TB and a relly cool looking CAI large tube with a large cone filter. after they are done with the cal unit they are going to install the large *** TB and tube and do a tune for that.

goodnight johnboy, many have waited months for this , couple more hours or days wont be bad, picts of it actually existing on something other than a secret car are worth a thousand words. hopefully with the master tuner, it wont take very long,
