I can't contain the excitement! I'm several days now into the fix that gave my car back 100% stock like drivability. I have "0" issues and that is saying a lot coming from me. I tweak everything and pretty much never stop as there is always "something" that I can play with and get a little bit better.

Don't get me wrong, I have some things I want to pretty up but as far as getting in, starting it up, and driving like a bat out of hell, and not knowing it didn't come this way, it is AWESOME!

But oh well. Today, I got the car inspected; 100% perfect. I have the Long Term Fuel Trims to +-2.3% with a basic straight line fuel map which means that I have the injector lag time set 100% right. So I changed the oil and adjusted the sensitivity on the knock sensor so that I can officially start turning up the boost this weekend!

I'm there, I am finally there with absolutely nothing else to hold me up. So now I finally get to see what kind of power she is going to make and which part of the system is going to be the first bottleneck to overcome

I just hope for goodness sake that I don't see some sort of catastrophic failure before the weekend is up!!!!!

Believe me, the thought of that has been haunting me since I read that Rcompart had blown his motor with the SRT SC on the first pull on the dyno and with the very AEM I am using now. I had stretches where the car seemed good but there was always some nagging issue that would crop back up every time I tried to tweak things to my 100%. In fact, the closer I got to perfect the worse the little problems became. It was really weird..

Oh well, armed with the knowledge that something might not have been quite right has forced me to be very persistent in tracking down every single little anomaly and not trusting anything until proven safe. I can honestly say that I now have 100% confidence in my setup and the supporting systems. All that remains to be seen is how well the stock motor will hold up to the abuse I throw its way starting this Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeeeehaw!
