[QUOTE="Fawls, post: 1578558, member: 37733"] I see I forgot to mention the Steeda Caster Camber plates. Before I went to the Dyno I made sure everything was up to scratch, the only way I could get it to idle was to open the throttle blade a bit and the throttle was now hanging, kind of dangerous when driving, come off throttle to slow down when traffic in front is slowing and the car wants to keep going! I bought a smoke machine to test for vacuum leaks and went over board sealing everything up, I replaced the TPS, IAC and EGR valve. There was a mix up with the tuning dates so when I turned up they weren't expecting me so I left it there, in the end they had it about 2 months. He was happy with the results said it made 300 HP, the goal was just to have the mixtures safe and have it drivable. I think he was blowing smoke up my ass with the numbers, its not what the sheet says which is in KW and MPH. My calculations are 195 Kw = 261 HP & 214 KPH = 128 MPH = around 5500 RPM with 3.27 gears and 285/35R18 tires. It drives ok but is prone to stalling when maneuvering (changing direction) and also stalled when I turned on the AC at idle. I don't think it would be as noticeable in a manual, I will see what I can do about it when I get it back from the paint shop. [/QUOTE]
