Per "da boss" I am only allowed to have 1 toy......................which is why I traded the Estate for Casper..... While I think I can afford lots of toys, Da boss sees things differently.....
Hmmm does this mean da boss only gets one python designer bag? Or only the matching purse-wallet, but not the sunglasses too,.....she calls it the "trifecta" and I cry every time she says it.....

Three new kittens per car I bring home.
That 86.5 Muskeego parts car cost dearly.
Trying to negotiate back to 2 in the next couple days.
Ken,
Love the black 86.5. Sure you really want to sell it?

I think it's great, to. Mechanically, it's a tour de force.
But, it's totally impractical for city driving.
I'm also suffering from Post Tuning Stress Disorder.
Too many months staring at assembly code, too many hours testing/logging, ad nauseum.
All I want to do is jump in my plush auto and push the go pedal.![order](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/order.gif)
It's the torque converter that is the problem, not the catalysts.
The torque converter changes the gear ratio unpredictably at lower rpm/higher load.

I think Brian may have gotten the traces crossed. blue blue blue it's a little hard to follow, but Porken's tune is better EVERYWHERE...
Porken please buy an S4...

Keep us posted on the final status of the car. Looks like a fine car.
If you were local, I am sure that we would have worked out a very happy trade way back last year.

A lot of what I've done is for the S3 is increase part throttle response, and non-WOT performance. I can probably do this for S4-up, too.
In looking for the NASA logbook, I found the old dyno sheets for this car.

The car now has electric fans, airbox lid delete, etc., compared to the basically stock with X-pipe, but...dayumn.
Compared to completely stock (which I couldn't photoshop in), OMG.
(scan - 2005 stock, 257 HP, 248 TQ)
(scan - 2006 stock w/X-pipe, 271 HP, 283 TQ)

its picking up all that area where the OEM curve sags that really changes the car's character on the street- and now the torque curve is climbing nicely even when the HP sags.
I imagine that this is probably what the engineers of the intake were imagining.

It was a good dyno day, 70F/21C air temp, so that helped.
Little to no air temp retard (variable on my chip).
Did I mention 89 octane (95 RON)?

I just wish it would breath better over 5200 rpm.

White car needs cam cover gaskets...maybe time for Colin's cams.
