I hope to be getting my car tuned soon. Just did all the mods in my sig. now if the car reads 40% i know I didnt seat it right. I just put the pin in and tried to some what lightly pull it out. it stayed in place. Thanks

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. For me, 20.5MPG wasn't too bad, but I hated the 80 cents extra I was paying for premium unleaded. There would be some gas stations, mainly on the interstate, that were charging more like $1.00 more for premium.
One other thing I noticed on E85. The burble I would get when letting off the gas pedal has gone down now. Probably due to the increase in octane.
I'm fairly new to tuning and am curious about the headers and porting the throttle body. I'm assuming that you would get a power increase with these mods without any additional ecu tuning? The power increase would be due to increased airflow. My car is stock with just the flex fuel sensor and tune.
