let me see... leaving in august for military graduation etc no not really :P

but I do have it all torn down, well the top part of the engine. valve covers, plenum etc. So I may try using seafoam in a new way by spraying it straight from there before i put it back together and inject it through the booster hose.

direct port seafoam injection :P in a screwed up way...

now... MATT!!! lol maybe at the upcoming BBQ?

nope not yet. I think it mainly rests on Matt, being the busiest. Although there is no rule we HAVE to do it at Matt's if he thinks it would work better somewhere else etc. so ya not sure. But my exact leave date for Basic is August 8th. so preferably before that

if you were to ever change your logging set up what would go to?
ive been doing alot of reading im guessin your running mmcd and im thinking of going that route but, i dont like that it doesnt read idc's exactly perfect.
one more thing what o2 gauge are you using?

Ya MMCD. Dont worry too much about the idc's, as long as you know that it reads a little high your ok. But the only other thing I would like is Shivers software but its not cheap. Im using and AEM Wideband o2 sensor/gauge.

Well its definately not the first car I've seen like that, its not gonna blow up or anything. Technically as long as they are within like 10-15% of eachother your still in spec wether or not its ~170 or ~200. I didnt bust out the calculator but your probably just out of spec.

True, 15% of 200 is 30, wish I could remember how much difference is allowed exactly.

Well I'll run some more seafoam and see where that gets me. and probably just comp test the front bank to avoid removing the plenum for the fourth time in the last two weeks

now should we make a "West MI '08 BBQ" thread? or just plan it out here?

Stealth is back home and I can confirm the Dodge dealer did away with the vibration/steering wheel shake. Much better paying $200 than paying $2800 and even that would not have fixed the issue.

Loving the car to death. Previous owner smoked in it though as I found out when removing the ashtray. That's a big shocker as I couldn't envision that given how few miles the car has. Oh well...time to buy a detail kit and let OCD take over.
