Dude, my misfire wasn't bad enough to cause the CEL to flash. Do you think I would even drive my car, let alone run it at the track if it was missing that badly?

I'm sure it was only missing at idle, and hopefully that is taken care of now that I got rid of the nology crapwires, lol.

lilo shark

will my results were horrible. the freaking track temp was at 119 degrees!!! it was so freaking hot!!! my best time was 15.5.

to my surprise otowntib w/ a 03 GT V6 5-speed. HOLY CRAP!!!! for something that is pretty much stock. damn hit a 15.1. all he has is a ebay cai and universal mufflers, which don't give you power.

mang ANY misfire will cause a problem even if its not as violent as one that flashes
hell on my mustang i was dropping 2 cylinders and it didnt flash until cyl 2 got stuck open and the car would die

I don't feel comfortable going to the track with any CEL, even if its like for a faulty sensor in the emissions system. But meh.

Keep the stock wires. They should be good to at least 80k miles. I think someone did a test on them and they were just as good as aftermarket. If you need to replace them, then get the Magnecor 8.5mm's. If you want a race setup, then get the Magnecor 10mm Race Wires and custom build them. Either ones are more than you need.

I ran a 15.9 on stock bald tires and rims, a custom intake, and a UR pulley. No exhaust mods! So I can believe that with good traction, and a full exhaust setup, 8/10ths could be taken off. I remember with that setup, I got pulled badly on the highway by 2 guys with a catback, so I knew that it made a huge difference.

The PRS was like $675 shipped from Tim, but I don't think he's doing that group buy anymore. The regular price straight from the US distributor was like $800.

Thanks Jon, the question now is, could I get as good a tune with the PRS as I could get from airborne?

I would think so with some dyno time AND I would be able to run whatever setup I want for turbo with unlimited adjustability.

Damn, I would hate not to get the re-flash now since I told airborne I would but if this is a better way to go then hell. It seems like a much more logical path to me, at least cost wise.

BTW: The CEL came back on with the stock plug wires and v-power plugs sooo.

I might try changing the coil packs since they were a little out of spec.
