Okay! Figured out the problem, My C&L mass air flow sensor is making my car dump a ton of fuel in at low rpms and making it run rich. Im getting heads and a cam. Going with trick flow twisted wedge heads and im not sure wich cam yet. trying to match parts as much as possible. Then from there im going to get my car dyno tuned. Going to be a little before i get the money to pull that off but thats my plan. After i get all the parts im going to set up a list with part number of what i did to my car. When its running good it will be a blast to drive, i cant wait

C&L sucks. How were you 60ft times?

To be honest I'm thinking of putting all my stock chit back on.Stock maf with an old cai I have. It runs great but it's my dd and I need to restore the good gas mileage I use to get.

60's sucked because of the bogging, But the car wasnt running right. I have a DD incase i dont want to spend a ton on gas. Im having fun with my car though so gas isnt really an issue. Just make it fast and have fun

Car almost took a civic head on Our light turned green (I was behind two cars in the turning lane) And a civic blasted through a red light so i slammed on my breaks and turned as hard as i could and he missed me. I was so P.O'd... All the time and money in my car gone because this guy didnt want to stop. He was going about 50 in a 30 >.< Hope he gets whats coming to him.

Depends on the person. If your friends with the owner that's not an uncommon thing to do.

I'm going to ask, i heard they let people test parts for them and then write a review. that would be pretty cool to do. Not sure if you get to keep the part or not though.

So my car is almost done, i called them up. I cant wait to drive it! Too bad it looks like the weather is all down hill from here on out. My goal of 12 seconds this year will have to wait. But i do have some plans to help it bite and drop my 60's down for next season. And maybe i can possible work on the looks? lol...running with stock 16's in the front and those fr-500's in the back is really bugging me now. I also want some more info. A/F and maybe some temp and pressure gauges. I dont know about the tach. it looks okay but i already have one that works just fine.
