I don't think my "Butt Dyno" is calibrated well enough to notice a 10 hp/tq peak gain without being able to do a direct side by side comparison lol.
The

Windows are tinted, WeatherTech front and rear mats installed, and just installed the OEM front plate delete kit and Carriage Works lower grill IN THE DARK..lol
They were both pretty quick. Perfect fit on the grill. It arrived a little bent but easily bent back to form, very easy instal with clear instructions provided.
The OEM front plate delete was a snap too, litterally. Reach in, squeeze the clips closest to the opening and pop that side off, then just pull the other side off, then pop the new one in place. You only need the plate side but they give you both. I switched out both just in case the plastic were to fade differently between sides.
Obviously I took these pics in total darkness, so it's all I've got for now. Flash makes my race red beauty look orange.
I am ordering the CW upper grill tomorrow, so this will match nicely when it comes in, and more importantly it will protect the intercooler from gravel or road debris.
Front plates are required in my state (CT), but I've never given anyone a ticket for that...and I don't know anyone who has. I think this cleans up the front end nicely (although now the ridiculous vanity plate I have on order will only be on the back....maybe that's a good thing...lol)

"Carriage Works 44383 Black Bumper Grill"
That's the model you want. I think they have it in raw aluminum or chrome too.
Don't recall where I bought it, shopped around a bit for the best price.
The upper grill is model 47163

AEM air filter installed.
Attempted to install the SCT TS tuner today after reading through the instructions, downloading the programs and updating the tuner itself (you'd think they'd ship it up to date...)
I plugged it in and went through the steps that the directions outline. I double and triple checked to ensure I was doing everything correctly. All I could get was a screen that had 2 options, -Power off, and -Run Test... which when run just ran a diagnostic test of the LED lights, and then in red below it gave about 15 error messages.
All of the menu pages just showed grayed out stop watch icons.
I called SCT, and after going through a long phone menu...and then a half hour on hold...I talked to someone named Jose who quickly informed me that if I was seeing all those stop watch icons then the TS was malfunctioning and needed to be returned to SCT.
Awesome.
I called Full Race and spoke with Jon I believe, who was great. Said he'd email me a return label etc. asap, and send me a new TS as soon as they receive my busted one.
I'd really like to have it tuned for the 20th when I race again... but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
Thanks a lot SCT...

I can't take credit for creating that one, but the skull is a Killswitch Engage logo (metal band). I've seen that same one without the skull too.

Went back to the 100 FT drag races at Waterford Speedbowl tonight. Set a new fastest time for myself of 2.843 vs last time 2.858. I know not many people have heard of 100 ft drag races, but all we have in the area is a small oval track, so we have to make due with what we've got. This is a damn good time for a stock vehicle, nevermind a full size 4 door pick up. There are mustangs and beefed up hot rods doing 3+, and straight up drag cars doing 2.4.
Can't wait to see how I do with the 93 Octane tune from SCT... if they ever send me a NON DEFECTIVE unit back... as the one I got was DOA.
