When is a door ajar, become a pain in the ass....
I swear no one will ever believe me on that one.
Other than that, it turned out really good for just a downpipe and a tune. A catback will really open things up and improve the flow.

So to let everyone in on the jokes....
For the life of us, we could not get a good handshake with Chucks ECU. Each attempt would result with a kernel read error about 70% through. Tried reinstalling the cable drivers, reverted to a previous version of the flashing software, triple checked all connections, turned all cell-phones off, did a hard reset of the ECU. At this point, I see the "Security" light flahing on the dash. I think to myself..."it can't be that simple". I ask Chuck to close his door and I close mine. The security light goes out....
A few minnutes later the stock ROM is DL'd.


and as for the VTEC? During the initial tuning, his timing would make a 10 degree jump over just a few hundred rpm (around 5400) and when it occured you could feel it hit. So much so, that when it occured we would yell "VTEC!"

and when I smoothed it out on subsequent maps...Chuck kinda missed it.
