EPP Hotpipes install was OK at best... requires A LOT of adjustments to get them straight... this I believe is due to the this tab not being welded on in the correct place.. there is enough slop in the couplers to adjust them.. but still...

60% flow over stock or 35% more flow XDI HPFP? And what is it that you feel will be better for your set up to have the XDI pump instead of the Livernois HPFP?
Matt Robinson at Gearhead trusts the XDI pump more than the LMS pump. When going with bigger turbos and a super aggressive tune, its important that my tuner feels comfortable with the fueling. Matt also gave me a HELL of deal on the XDI pump.. basically a one for one swap that costs me nothing to switch them out. That's how much he is concerned with the LMS pump not holding up to his tuning. I couldn't say no to that.

Thanks for the heads up on the universal! I purposely left the oil cap upside for those who are OCD... not mentioning names! I feel you on the socket getting lost...there is a 7/16th somewhere in my engine bay that I can't find.. or its on the side of the road at this point... pisser cause it was my good original craftsman socket..
Did the first oil change on the wife's SHO and discovered that the oil filter installed by the factory was leaking. Never noticed it since the splash guard was soaking it up. Oil level was still good though. I was also surprised to see a splash guard since my SHO didn't come with one.
EPP Hotpipes, Torque Mounts, and swapped the LMS HPFP for the XDI HPFP...

Welcome to the club. I have been running a 92 tune from him for 2years now and still love it.76fomoco said:On the second Rev with Brad .... with a few more tunes to go
You will now start seeing some really good increases the next few tunes. His 1st tune is better than stock for sure, but I found his 2-4th tunes really showed increases once he was able to see how the car reacted to the baseline changes. Then it was fine fine tuning after that.

Yep they become more refined and so much fun to drive.
All cleaned up and ready for the trip to Richmond, VA tomorrow to drop it off at National Speed, Inc for my upgraded Gearhead Turbos! Historically.. shops tend to treat cars better if they are pristine vs dirty AF..

I am not a big wheel guy, but those look fantastic! Which ones are they? I look forward to seeing how they look on your SHO.

you guys are correct! on the V2 and the power has moved up nice. I figured since I was in his good graces I would be foolish not to get a full set of tunes. 93 3 bar, 93 3 bar with meth (since I have it) and E30, and E30 with meth.... Just to see how close to the 11 second club I can get for track days.
