Pretty sure both mike and jeremy tuned it. They had it on the dyno for a while ironing out the utec "transition" some people have issues with, I guess this one was a little more difficult.

Full boost at 2k rpm btw. Tons of power and torque all the way to redline.

Will post pics/vids once avail.

I'm probably going to put the stocks back on if anything just to make it a true sleeper.

So I pick it up yesterday, it's running like a dream. They got the utec set up perfectly...there is absolutely no "switchover" issues, you wouldn't know its there. It's smooth like butter from idle to redline at any throttle position. Full boost within a second all the way from 2k RPM. BOV's sound sweet...no flutter at all, just a perfect psssshhhhh every time you let off the throttle.

The light flywheel and stiff clutch make for interesting take offs Def. something to get used to. I broke loose in 4th a couple times...pretty nuts.

My only complaint is that it's snowing today so it's parked for who knows how long...LOL

I've got 2 dyno videos coming but need to re-encode them before I post them.

I got the billets back in early '04 after I saw them on stillen's SC G. There wasn't anything else to choose from then other than even uglier stamped steel ones. I'm still not feeling the newer ones either so looks like the stocks are going back on!!!

Thanks for the rim tips.
