That is exciting. I'm sure many of us here are very interested to see what you find out about the car, as well as what you do to it.

People have to know that we are in Albuquerque NM which sits at almost 6000 feet elelveation. THis will not affect the dyno numbers as they are corrected SAE dyno numbers. The elevation will however affect th ET and trap speed of the car greatly. We will be doing all of our testing up here at our elevation and will be taking the car to he heat of the desert in Phoenix to AGP to see how the car does and reacts at sea level. I am sure Nick@AGP will be most of our feedback on his TC in Phoenix. This will be a thoroughly tested kit with real dyno's and seat time to make sure all of us TC owners get the most bang for our buck and keep our cars on the road. We are looking at weeks to have the base kit ready to go out the door.

I can't wait to see what you guys do for management. Hopefully, Scion thought ahead with the MAF and made it easy to tune.

Yah, Brian's car is a 5 speed.

Sean, did Kevin get ahold of you? We had a crazy idea that may work out well.

I've just got to say I love everything about this car. I've been in camry's, civics, mazda 3's, as well as LOTS of other more expensive cars and for the money there is NOTHING that can compete with the TC.

If I had one complaint, it's that the seats feel a little small to me, like they could have offered a little more side support. I think part of that is the fact that I'm used to driving around in Corbeau's with 4 point belts in my prelude ;)

Is that the catalytic converter integrated into the manifold?

Wait a sec, did you already do baseline dyno runs? If not, did you consider doing a run without the muffler to see if there are any gains?

I'm also excited to see what you guys do to the tC. And I wouldn't mind hearing about that Syclone either.

What's out of place? All of the imports run great, all of the domestics sit in the shop LOL

The mustang will go 8's, the camaro will go 9's (was going low 11's before), and the 'vert on the side is just a normal 12 second daily driver....
Syclone is getting a 3 inch downpipe and stuff, and the neon will be making 450+ whp within the next couple weeks.....there is also a custom subaru SVX turbo you can't see, I think it's actually one of the only 5 speed swapped SVX's in the country.....

Yes, the cat is integrated into the manifold, so any headers and/or turbo kits that come out for the tC will NOT be emissions legal. This is another reason that toyota is making a blower for these cars.......

We haven't done any baseline dynos yet, the car came apart for some fabrication work and will go back together this weekend for more break-in.....
