nice :jfj:

how does it feel with the 3.46?

[vmwerks]

Until the S/C the 3.46 gave me the biggest improvement with respect to acceleration. I have a 6 speed trans so I don't really lose anything in terms of top speed...

Nice....lucky u man. I just bought a 3.46 myself in prep for my future ASA super charger....lol....hopefully. So when u had the 3.07 jump to 3.46....what kinda diff did you feel. Without the SC that is.

looks good, Technik should send you black hoses instaed of thsoe ugly blue ones that match no ones car and dont eve look close to OEM

[vmwerks]

ACS3 A.R.T: I had snappier acceleration and I did not have to change gears to accelerate at almost any speed.

GarrettF: I like the blue hoses, it sets off what is different about the car. If I wanted the engine compartment to look OEM I would not have installed an S/C right? :P

if you wanted the engine compartment to look OEM you could of painted the SC black :)

Dyno results after the ECU upgrade... I am at 20% now... the car is black on black and with the windows rooled up you cannot see inside. It is tough in California, I have been pulled over twice now. I hae a Dr's note so no more tickets but without a CARB approved S?C and no cats I def do not want to draw anymore attention...

I can't push it because the car will lean way out under boost. I have seen an improvement on "test" accel passes. :mischief: The difference with more fuel will be night and day though.. I can't wait... :)
