      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.

                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?

                                    If you're on a stock clutch, and can't launch very hard then thats probably the biggest factor in you running 14.3. Figure for .1 sec faster to the 60 foot mark, normally will net you about .2 sec faster in the 1/4 mile. So depending on your launching ability, clutch holding or slipping, and tires spinning from being wet, you could be right on par.

                                    DSMLink is pretty good for a cheaper standalone style engine management. It's still not a full stand alone, but it is extremely easy to use and has tons of support.

                                      I don't know what the 60ft was, I didn't keep the timeslips 😞 I'm going to try and focus on getting off the line better this weekend, hopefully my times will improve as a result. That time was from my first time out at the track so I'm sure I was n00bing it up something fierce.

                                      The way I figure, DSM link, actually having a dedicated user interface can't be any harder than what I'm doing now, and god knows theres more support. It of course has the ability to change maps but the real bonus is that it contains all of the little addons that you can put into the stock program, except without inputing code, editing hex, or remapping memory addresses. A definate plus. I think an advantage over the other standalone solutions is that DSMlink is made for one car specifically, even between the 1g and 2g, so there is no fiddling around or anything, it just works.

                                          I was dumping it. Ridin Rails gave me some tips that I plan to implement. I'll try no lift on 3rd and 4th as well.
