So here's the story... Vacation to Nova Scotia was cheaper than i thought, and i needed less credits to graduate than i thought so i'll be having a few more $$ to work on the car than i had budgeted.
My main goal right now is to completely eliminate any KR i've been getting. So far my car is mostly stock with the excpetion of a HAI, MSD coils, and now a 3in cat'd DP.
I really want to get into the HPtuner aspect or any other similar tool, it just seems so... daunting. My tool used for scanning is a Scangauge II, which shows me some statistics like IAT, Knock, MAF etc, but has no way to record or analyze this info. Not sure if i should splurge and go this route, or spend some money on a pre-fabbed PCM from an aftermarket company.
also considering adding a colder stat and some colder plugs, but those are cheap and i can do them any weekend. also thinking about a PLOG, a true CAI, and maybe rockers? hell even a SS intercooler perhaps.
I'm def not in any hurry to throw a smaller puller on it any time soon, i just want here running as proficient as possible.
what would you all suggest as a route to go with?
- For reference, after installing the downpipe, i now get a reading of about 3-4 degrees of KR on my scangauge, which is a decrease in what it was, but i still am not comfortable with this. also engine water temps seemed to decrease about 10 degrees even on hot and humid days.
