As I said, cool stuff that you'll have a better chance showing off to a more tuner oriented 2zz based site. There's even reluctance to use piggybacks here as well. Seriously. A Greddy emanage ultimate + V-manage combo will run you under $1000 new. And you can't say there won't be return on the dollar going that route for a boosted setup that can have ignition timing, fuel injector, vvt-i tuning, and lift lowering capabilities all in one. Although worthwhile to talk about, posting about E85 and datalogging products here is like posting about tC based turbo kit options to manual tranny Camry owners...very few responses will be had...
The fact that charlie's reflash has been distributed this long without that many problems is very amazing. Kudos to him, and creating a reflash that does what it does best, provide safe power adding. But at the end of the day, with a tuner engine, the power hungry will stay starving with reflashes. Such is my philosophy and many others who dig into EFI techology, but nobody has to agree with me if they don't want to. All I know is that we're not driving around a GTR, ZR1, Porsche Turbo engine here that'll cost over $10,000 to replace if something goes wrong.
As for me being Mr. Cold Air Intake, it will change to Mr. Greddy Supercharged by mid September. The time frame is set, and I'll get my buddy's mods parted out to me around that time as we will turn his car back to stock.
