Cool, this should be interesting. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Sean, get ready to run to the patent office.

Did you test drive after the install but before the reset?

Unfortunately it was getting late and I didn't have a chance to drive it before I did the reset... Didn't seem different than a typical reset. I'm very interested in those dyno results though.

Sean I drove the car a little before resetting the ECU and without a doubt it was the problem. On the way home from my friends house I didn't notice much difference but once I reset the ECU and drove the car hard that's when I noticed it. The shifts were a good amount quicker. The shifts were smoother and even in D the shifts were smoother and the whole car in all seemed like a new car. I am not saying that the shifts in trip tonic were perfect, I would need a VB upgrade for that. The shifts without a the grounding kit and very long and not a lot of fun. Overall the kit was very worth it and I would recommend it to anyone who is 5at and feels a lot slower then 6mt. I plan to see if I can keep up with a 6mt in the near future (at the track of course). I will let you guys know the results.

Just finished the install. Took me about an hour partially from trying to find a damn socket that fell down into the bay. Didn't take any pics but the final result looks excellent thanks to your great directions. Thanks again for making such a great kit Sean. Next up, polished plenum, strut bar, and other bay goodies.
