Yes. The base tune will allow you to drive it to your tuner. Just don't beat on it.

This is only after you have done all your checks. Make sure your AFRs are good.

Thanks jwick for the suggestions and safety wire idea. Almost five hours worth the work here lol. My safety wire might be a little overkill but I didn't want things moving

Looking good, how many feet did it take to complete the wrap?

I used every bit of my 100' roll. I needed about one more foot to finish the last piece that ties into exhaust. But that didn't really need it anyway. So don't waste any lol. Thanks guys was a tedious job but worth it....

Change your transmission oil now!! Do it before you slap the BP kit on. The Turbo manifold makes getting to the fill and drain hole a PIA.

I finished mine in about an hour thirty. How the hell did it take you 5 hours?!?! Lol

If you do not plan to upgrade the radiator, at the very bare minimum adjust the fan settings to kick on at a lower temp & ramp up faster.

Hotrodz · 04-11-2016, 04:41 PM

Seb will give you the low down on that and the fan adjustment may be all you need. I have been in Phoenix traffic with temps over 120 with the ac maxed out and my temps remained less than 240. In Vegas the most I see is 225 or 230. The deal is I don't bust much at in temps around 100 or above.

Also, I would go to the most unrestricted exhaust setup possible just to allow things to flow better. My car produces a lot of torque and even with a 3" exhaust I don't make as much hp as many do because my torque is hard to control. I don't mind because torque is what acceleration is all about but why not have both.

Oh and as mentioned a vented hood is a good thing. I also will open my hood when I get home just to let the vehicle cool more efficient on hot days.
