ROFL.....
Re: exhaust.. see above ^^ :P

As for the lift - I LIKE the stance how it is... it's not that I *can't* get it raised, it's that I won't.

I actually did get it raised 1/4" when I had the recent work done. It doesnt rub at all anymore, but I swear it looks an inch higher.

Have a major leak and bottle remote controls are not working..
Took the car to the track. Ran fine the way there, then took a dump on the track.

Maybe time for a set of slicks!!!
That's exactly what it sounds like. Too much Torque Converter slip and the car cuts fuel. Almost all automagic tranny cars do it these days. I have a diesel truck that puts out over 500hp and 1100tq to the wheels, and once the TC starts slipping a certain number of RPM's, it will cut all fuel to save itself.

Sorry, been busy... was at NSCRA all day yesterday. Got the car back on Friday, intended to track it yesterday but was honestly too hot out and was feeling lazy.

Leak(s) repaired, car is running great so far...have requested a proper dyno printout so I can provide it to you guys.


I also have my DR's mounted on IS350 18x8.5's. Again, was going to run on Sunday but didnt. Hopefully will get to run on Wednesday or Friday. I'm honestly a little scared of what may happen when the transmission has to deal with actual grip.

Good luck man! I'm curious to hear about how the tranny holds up with the grip too.

That is awesome Oztiks! Baseline numbers look aweful, but the new added power is sweet!
