Wicked is good, especially if Kevin Hand is doing the tunes.

I have Radical Racing near me and Matt Hill when he is home.

Nice OP SCT is the way to go, I tuned my cars IC vortech setup via email the with Joe from tricktuners. Free tunes for life as long as I don't change the head or rebuild the engine. But as far as cams and pullies go it's free re tune. He also garentees to be within 5% of what you would yield doing a dyno time. They're have been a few guys who confirmed this to be true by going to the Dyno afterwards.

Does anyone know if i leave the gauge mode on turn the car off and leave it parked for a day or so will it drain my battery? I had that problem with my Diablo tuner in my F150, would leave it plugged in and would drain my battery.

Loving it so far, I may need to adjust my shift points for when driving around town.. Also only running the 92 octane tune, was at costco the other day and filled it with theres and noticed the pump said 92 octane, need to check Shell again and see if theirs was 91 or 93..

Also ordered the suction cup mount..

Suction cup mount??? Just throw it in the glove box.. nothing serious that you need it on the windshield to constantly monitor!!

Does your car feel any different?

Yeah i can for sure tell a difference also i hear it making a different sound almost like its really sucking some air, i should probably get my cameras and mics our and try and record the sound doesn't sound bad sounds kinda cool.

I'd be worried about theft or the suction cup inviting a break-in. I certainly hope you wouldn't leave the thing stuck on your windshield? Meanwhile I'll start looking at this tuner also...

Is there any benefit to disabling the EGR in the tune? Have done some research and am unsure still..

How is the State inspection in your area? I would fail inspection without it but if you can do it then go for it. It keeps some of the gunk from being recirculated back into the intake.

Then you can get rid of all that EGR ugliness under the hood. When you do your vacuum lines I would go ahead and replace them, then you can rout all that junk out and put the lines where you want them. Also the lines tend to get brittle over time so this is a good time to change them out .
