I figured I'll just do it when I have the engine apart again.
shawn, when i send those spacers, i can only do it to the gaskets i have (Stock TB and intake), so you're going to have to enlarge it to your ported TB and what not..not a big deal.

With my TB porting, I'd say I did get a GOOD tenth in the 1/4 mile. Maybe .15.

It's going to take a lot for me to do 14.3s, but if a VE 5spd did the same amount of work as I have to my car, it should be running high 13s with slicks pretty easily. I dare to say mid 13s. lol

aaron, i swapped tires today, 215/55 kumho supra 712 on 4th gen SE wheels, byebye first gear traction issues! now if i can get the launching down so i dont roast my tires through first i'll be all ready for the track. also, my car feels strange now, i havent driven it in like a week but it definately feels like its being labored to get to redline, who knows, i'll port the intake soon probably spend a whole day on it and making a spacer for it (btw, whenever you want a spacer, let me know, i have tons of free time to make them)

humm first problem arised today - the IACV seems to not be working - problem (connector is loose) if i jiggle the connector it comes on but its not making a tight connection so if its left overnight and i start it in the morning it wont stay on. and if im comming to a stop the idle drops to about 300 (for a split second) then idles at about 600. guess the connector is no good ??
ALSO you ve 5speed guys do me a favor look at the harness that the IACV is attached to. do you have a wire comming out of that area (over the tranny) that has a connector on the end of it but it has no wire comming out of it ? i took the connector apart and there were no terminals on the side without the wire, am i to assume this was for an option the car diddnt come with ?? please take a look i hope nothing was ripped out.....thanks guys ...........ill try to take a pic if you dont see what im talking about .....
