and much nicer software than one of the other local systems i've seen!
although less tuning points - but no matter!
in fact - a computer's educated guess is much better than some tuning monkey's "edumacated guess"!!!!

,sorry Veecee you lost me on the last sentance,
Rudeboy ,How much lag are you getting with that GT35 ? Ian(Rezlo) told me to go for the GT30 for less lag as this worked very well on his car,
power is in at betwwen 3000-3500 rpm and not 4000-4500 rpm,

all comes down to what you want to use it for, i want a fast drag car so dont mind a bit of lag... for street use the GT30 would prob be better and Ian ran 11's with his GT30...
also ran with a GT30 on my kadett - that also ran a 12.0 and made over 300kw

Mostly street but i would like to see what it will do on the 1/4 mile ,I am using Ians setup on the exhaust side but going to stay with the stock intake as i dont have 18K for a Greddy intake and what goes with it at the moment,Will upgrade the intake at a later stage,Hopeully there will still be Greddy intakes available when i need it .

What are the options and estimate costs and then i can see what i can do now
,At the moment 1 or 2 K as the build has gone way over expected budget .

Z33 calipers would look and feel the part but since you wanna stick to the stock ones my option would be to powder coat it. It would last the best. The paint looks ok for a while.
