What Tb the 84.5 or 90? Any first impressions?

Throttle response is much better, idle is improved and flat out the car just runs better. It's the 84.5mm.
Never dynod it yet . Anyone who has rode in the car before and after complimented how much better it was .

Fyi I'm going to the dyno tomorrow morning. Making two runs with stock TB and two with Accufab 84.5. Will be one silver key and one red key run in each configuration.

Only other engine mod is an Airaid CF CAI.

This will be interesting to see. Please start another thread on this when you post your results.

Sure will...

I don't expect too much in the way of peak gains but rather a decent mid range improvement and better throttle response.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I removed my QTP cutouts because they starting rattling like a tin can. Need new screws for the butterfly's, had to drill them out. I think they forgot the loctight.

I can't tell you how many guys underestimate the use of Loctite. Use it or lose it... the screw that is.

Take out all that extra weight you just added; that won't help decrease your lap times! ;D

Haha but really there is so much good information on this site about what others have done to their car. Spend some time searching around and you'll be sure to find something that tickles your fancy.

Well you're at the right place to find out. We are all good at spending OPM. ;D What are you using for a spare wheel and tire?

I ordered:18X8 5-100/114 35MGM DRAG DR31188053573GMF1 from Discount Tire Direct. When the wheel comes in, I will take to NTB to have the rubber put on.

7. ordered clutch pedal extension.

Thanks. I'm looking at the 18x8 version of that wheel and have heard it will clear the Brembos. Let us know if it fits.
