    Is it still a cat or a test pipe? (that may be choking some airflow)

    its a high flow cat with a metal core instead of ceramic. its basically the least restrictive you can get without a test pipe.

    I would also get rid of that mas for a 2nd gen...even upgrade the injectors...

    I am planning on doing that, trying to save up for a few mods here next month.

    Do you still have stock IC piping?

    yep, sure do.

    also im running 91 octane

        That would entail getting an AFC or other form of fuel controller.

        I could run a 2g mas w/o an afc, just needs a few lines of code in the ecu to compensate.

            My wife drives it since our other car isn't working right now. And the belt does suck. 🙂

              If you are going to do a 2g mas, make sure you upgrade to 550s. Buy an AFC at the same time. If you dont want to spend 300 bucks on a wideband, take it to Tintmasters and have them tune it on theirs.

                Yep, you sure can, you can also do a stutter box, take out fuel cut, reset knock counts, and actually make the range of tuning wider.

                I have a heavily moddified ecu program waiting to go in but im scurred cuz I'm not sure if I did everything right 🙂

                    Im hoping to get a cheap FMIC setup, injectors, 2g mas, and a dsmlink setup coming up here next month.

                      Don't know if they would help too much, but you could try investing in some iridium plugs (Denso, NGK) for better spark. They're supposed to be particularly beneficial for forced induction applications.

                      ngk brp7es or brp6es is all you need, dont spend money on expensive plugs....

                        DSMlink is awesome if you have the extra money to spend on it. Way better than an AFC. Good choice.

                        Well put. All you really need is some cheap NGK plugs. .028-.029 gap.

                          Ya, I figure since I already have some experience tuning with logs on a computer I should be able to use DSMlink fairly easily. My ecu is already socketed besides. It is expensive but if you remember how many ppls afcs get stolen around here, it evens out dont you think?

                            Well, hopefully I'll see some ppl at the track and decide to be social. Maybe you guys can give me some tips on driving and whatnot.

                                I'd put the stock ECU in it.

                                My old 1g ran 13.5 @ 95 w/ a 8.8 1/8 mile with exhaust a UICP pipe and a boost controller. By the end of the summer I had it, it was running 8.5 1/8 miles but I was back in Minot so it never made it back down to the 1/4.

                                    I am too for the most part, but that is a little investment that i would like to protect.

                                      my 14.3 was at 96.7 mph, so is that about right or what does that mean. does that mean I suck at driving?
