I do it all but 99% daily driving/drag/street and 1% road course/autox. I haven't tried the autox/road course since the 35R though, I'm sure it'll be interesting.

Are you able to run those big cams and that high idle speed without a CEL? Just wondering if this is a combo that could get through an OBD-II emissions test.

nah, I got the standard random misfire code. There's no emission tests here so I've made no effort to resolve it, only to have it idle properly.

No I didn't.
Right now I'm having a terrible time keeping IC pipes together. I welded the licp halves together so it's a one piece "candy cane" but now it's blowing out everywhere else hah. I think the underlying problem is that the t-bolt clamps I have are too big and while they do get snug they bottom out before getting really tight. Also I might weld a bead on the ends of the pipes to build that hump up...it's quite subtle right now.

That is impressive! I love reading about your build, gives me something to dream about for my Evo.

thanks sabastian, hopefully I can get these boost leak issues sorted out quickly, I want to run it on the slicks friday night and see if I can get that 10.99 @ 130 on 93 octane I've always wanted.

Hey Mellon, do you think that you might be able to match DB's 140mph trap with the HTA .82 and the COP with the stock ECU when you get it all installed?

honestly the BR cars aren't even on my radar...they are exceptional. I say that because they have the best AEM EMS tuner in the country, the best drivers, the best suspension guys, the best mechanics etc... I'm just a lil one man show having some fun. I've never set lofty goals for myself either. I'll be excited to run a 10.99 @ 130 on 93 octane through the stock ecu/mas with my less than stellar driving  My local track doesn't play games and will promptly ban me until I have a cage and I don't foresee me doing that to my daily driver so that might be the end of my drag strip racing program, only time will tell.
Eventually I'll max out the .63 setup and put on the .82 and see what that allows on pump gas as well...I'd like to see at least lower 130's. Then if I want more (I usually do) I'll start playing with c16 race gas and see if I can find the limit of the stock ecu/mas. Who knows where I'll end up.
I know some frown upon it but I'll keep showing the DLL and g-tech numbers as I improve them. The are a wonderful tuning tool for someone that doesn't have access to track days and dynos and help me know what to expect when I do go to the track.

Looking forward to updates bro! At least we know that you can go past the 600 mark on DLL with the stock ecu !!

yep, there was a big question mark about 600 DLL on the stock ecu... I think I'm going to shoot for 625ish on the .63 next. I've been absolutely run ragged these past few weeks and just haven't had time to work on it. Aside from the IC pipes blowing off the car has be flawless...I forgot to put the breather filter back on the valve cover and was amazed to see no blowby spray anywhere. She's sealed up tight. At lunch today there was a split in the hose leading to the bottom of the TiaL WG and so it didn't see enough boost to open the dump. The boost went to 36.6psi according to the recall feature on the greddy profec b spec II and let me tell ya, the car felt pretty damn strong. I replaced that hose with something better and put the boost where it's supposed to be 33.5psi. I don't see any reason I couldn't run 35 or even 40psi on 93 octane to be honest. The timing is still a solid 4* higher than the previous 30psi tune and could be dropped back down for more boost that 33.5psi.

Exactly my goal for next year, I 've been rounding up all the parts for the bottom end and soon after the head. hopefully around 500+whp all this will be done by me, except the .020 overbore that is. Mellon you have a fan from MA keep up the insane work.

will do and thanks for the encouragement...hopefully we'll all learn something from my experience and close the massive performance gap between the stock ecu/mas and AEM EMS
