Howdy all,
Just got my GOODIE BOX from LMS!  Oh Yeah!  Putting a Stage 1 with CAI, 3bar MAP, 160 TS, gapped plugs, and v8 93 octane tune.  😜

Got the t-stat and CAI installed today, just waiting for Anthony over at LMS to get the tune done. I'll be installing the plugs tomorrow. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy changing the t-stat was, although I should've let the car cool longer before doing it. Lost a bit of coolant, but it was easily replaced. Contrary to some posts I've seen regarding difficulty purging air from the system, I took Jaimie's (at LMS) advice and just ran the car and added coolant to the recovery tank.  Drove it 30 miles while watching temps like a hawk, did not notice any tendency towards running hotter than usual.

I was surprised at the new pep it has just with the CAI!  Man, I can't wait to see the difference the tune will make, and I'm REALLY looking forward to that $h:+ eatin' "LMS grin"! 

The downside?  Welllllllllll.......down the rabbit hole go I LOL!  Next up is Powerstop drilled/slotted disks and ceramic-carbon pads, epoxy caliper paint, and MAYYYYYYBE cat backs or resonators. I'd like to get it a little more throaty sounding. I'll post pics of my baby tomorrow.

Thanx all for being such a helpful, friendly bunch. Looking forward to sharing adventures!  Cheers!
 
Some people are friendly and some are not....i would say im one of the more friendly ones you will encounter

Your car must've found a new way to make power from a cai then your butt dyno needs recalibrated lol...i would say you suffer from placebo effect but good for you...if you think that made you car fast wait til you get you tune!
 
LOL I think you're probably right, Sir!  I'm quite sure it's nothing more than wishful thinking.  Now then....after the tune........😛
 
Glad the TStat experience was "mild"!  As far as the CAI goes, it will go best with upgraded downpipes, which usually also ups the "throatiness" factor a bit.  Do that before catback.

Looking forward to those pics!
