Alright....this will not be a very 'complete' update since I was kinda in a hurry when I picked up the car...didn't ask enough questions as I should of done.<P>Overall, good experience with the AAM guys. Just want to get that outta my chest before I go on in case anything I say might sound like I'm not satisfied with their work. Exceptionally good tuning job, I know I have some good parts to start with, but they were very cautious and courtesy as always. Matt was also there to drop me off to pick up the car. We both had the impression that, they weren't too enthused with this project. That's understandable, T5 engine is not something they have worked with, there are always risks and liabilities. and it could be quite discouraging at times.<P>I did not get the print out for the dyno session and it's not really something to show off at this point yet. (Don't worry; I will get to the juicy part soon) I mean, you won't hear me complaining 300 FWHP outta 13 psi, but I want more, who wouldn't?<P>I mean they were at 300 a day before with 15 lbs of boost; this is a very good improvement. Again, very good job at fine tuning the car.<P>Few reasons they did not push it even more:<BR>First, they did not have a chance to add the fuel pressure regulator. I wanted them to finish the car TODAY and no later. I have set up an appointment to finish my audio upgrades on Monday, so can't really blame them even though they could have tried even harder. But hey...this is just another car to them, they probably didn't really think of this as a big deal project. Can't blame them, if 500+ WHP cars are what my shop does all day long 300 WHP IS just another customer.<BR>This will probably be done next time around. I'll then be more prepared, probably they will have all the components ready, too.<BR>Without that, the car was running a bit lean at 14 psi. If I'm daring enough, I can always try to dial up 14~15 lbs when I run on racing fuel. <P>I did however, get the gauges installed. They are not the one I thought I was paying for. That is something I'd need to speak to them later b/c in that case, the prices I paid for them weren't that impressive then. <P>So, there are couple more loose ends to get resolved next week while the car is in the Myer Emco. Dyno graph, gauges discrepancy, and few other minor details. <P>All in all, it was a job well done. I paid pretty reasonable price for most of everything. I wouldn?t mind paying a little bit more if tuning shops out there can get the job done right like the AAM people. I know some of the stuff may sound like I'm contradicting myself or just mumbling like IT'S-FRIDAY-NITE-AND-I-WANT-TO-GO-OUT. It's just that I got lots mix feelings about the result. <P>I know it's not completely done, and I can push more..but I also know there are a lot more risk involved when I start dialing up the boost. I don't know..I'll leave the decision for next time when I get the car back from M.E and drive it for awhile to test the reliability.<P>This time around things got upgraded: 440 cc/min RC Engineering fuel injectors, WALBRO fuel pump, Dastek AFC, and GReddy EGT, boost gauge (I actually thought I was getting the A'PEXi ones).<P>Aluminum panel, HID, PPI PCX2200, JL 10W7, and some other misc items will be for next week.<BR><p>[This message has been edited by The_one_n_only (edited 04-13-2002).]
