  1. Looked at your tune briefly . Might try increasing step size for better reliability . Mine only stays stable if power is always on like yours . Not sure I see anything that would cause a sync issue
  2. I have not noticed any delay but have noticed the lack of self centering . I’ve gotten use to it and I drive my car a lot .
  3. I use the Truepig eps . I had to notch the angle frame that the pedals ride on just a bit off the end . Been using this unit for a couple of years
  4. I believe the zx dampers were all bigger
  5. I’d say it’s a toss up . Most wouldn’t run the MN head because of the liners . Better NA head for sure , but it would work .
  6. What block are you using ? Will this be a NA build ? MN head makes for a great street NA especially if you have a flat top block . Put a cam in there and go !
  7. Better use some RTV or buy the expensive gasket they recommend . The flange is warped probably like mine . I used a machinist straight edge and there was .020 drop off on the end . I bought the 75$ gasket but some red RTV would probably l work also . my car makes all kinds of whistles and gear noises .
  8. 36-38 max at 100 KPA ? If so I would back that off to about 34 . No problem to be at 40 at light cruise
  9. Be conservative with the timing under load . Yes the engine can run at 45 degrees at light cruise with low Kpas . I would agree that 34 at full load is more realistic . Make yourself some detonation headsets and listen to your engine . Make adjustments accordingly
  10. If I haven’t mentioned yet - build yourself some detonation headsets and listen for knock . It’s surprisingly easy to hear and cheap to build . Still need a knock sensor mounted someway on the block . It’s easier than trying to wire in a module on the MS . We can look at your tune but would be guessing whether it’s too aggressive . Search on you tube . Besides the knock sensor I have 40$ in the set up . I was detonating on a NA motor but wasn’t hearing it and it was destroying #6 piston . I ended up pulling quite a bit of timing around 4kish .
  11. if it started that well you are doing well You should make some home maid detonation cans to listen for knock . Not sure if you have a knock sensor . It’s pretty amazing how well you can pick up detonation with your ears . Heading to NY, NJ next week .
  12. And yes _ I still have this available
  13. Nothing looks too crazy. I would back off your timing a little . I'm a NA guy so over 100 KPA im lost . Since its a GR tune -you'll probably close > Lot's of other settings in MS have to be right also. First start is always nerve racking. Where in NJ?
  14. So I took the Z to the Dream Cruise this weekend . First time I’ve done a long road trip in the Z and the only one with the 3.2 . Roughly 300 miles for me from Indiana . The Z did great and quite comfortable . What was crazy was I got 35 mpg at 75-80 mph cruising speed . I have a 3.9 diff and my OD is a .63 so I cruise at 2700-2800 rpm’s . I run the engine at about 15+ AFR’s . I wonder if my intake plenum helps my aero ? Referencing the wind tunnel info maybe my plenum builds that air wall in front of my car and makes the car more aerodynamic . It feels more competent on the road too
