Rock on! C&L - XCAL2 87 Tune from Alternative Auto
I just installed my new XCAL2 & C&L today form Alternative Auto during my lunch break. OMG what a difference. Since I have 3/4 tank of 87 I flashed with the 87 tune.
1. Shift points have changed dramaticly, they are much more aggresive.
2. Before the tune and the CAI when tromping on the gas from a dead start, the car would bog unitl about 2k or so RPM preventing rear tire spin, now that sucker lights right up.
3. While rolling in first gear, on a wide range of RPMs the tire breaks loose. (I see a T-Lock in my near future)
4. I can actually hear the engine sucking in air on accelaration from the new C&L intake, what a cool sound! I installed new intakes on my Harley's and Buell's and I love that sound the intake makes.
5. Throttle response has dramaticly improved, no hesitation when giving it a little or alot of gas.
This is everything that I noticed so far, it was a quick 10 minute ride back to work from home, so I am sure I have more little suprises a head!
So far I am very pleased.

Congratulations Sober, Welcome to the club. Even if you don't keep it, go for the 91 or 93 tune next. The car just runs like a champ with the higher octane fual. All the improvements just get better. You have the filter on right this time I hope.

Put it on right? How can you put it on incorrectly? It only fits one way? [&:]

Haha, moderated. 
How can you put the filter on upside down? You mean the actual shroud? The thing is the same the whole way around?
..or did I just fall victim to a joke. [X(]
