Received my kit today. Kudos to you Mike. These are some of the most comprehensive and complimentary instructions to ever grace a kit that I have seen. If anyone screws this up it won't be because of lack of instruction. ~Cheers~

Got your email update. Your play-by-play infogram throughout this process is much appreciated. ~Cheers~

Nice! I especially loved the young narrator in the background.

TYPE OF STUTTER/STUMBLE Steady throttle/Increasing throttle/Both: Increasing Throttle from 65% to WOT. MODS Intake: Stock Exhaust: Cobb DP/Magnaflow CBE Fuel: 91 Stock Turbo: Stock Engine Management: Open Source (Tactrix+RR+LV) Tuner and revision of tune(if you don't mind): Stage 2 Infamous1 Tune, Revision 3 complete. MAINTENANCE Sensors changed: Original Plugs changed: Original Coil Packs changed: Original OTHER SYMPTOMS Check Engine Light: N/A Etc: N/A RESULTS What has and hasn't worked for you: Going to the dealer and complaining about it. They said it might be the MAF sensor going out. It has been like this since I bought it new in 2007. 2008 LGT MT If something worked, how long has it been working for: Getting e-tuned by Shamar has eleminated any previous stutter that I experienced. That, in of itself, was worth the tune in my opinion.

The safety glasses is a nice touch!

This saves me all sorts of trouble. Add me to the list, kit #2 please. Thank you for putting together this package!!

Good info iNVAR. Now how do we keep these few added posts from getting lost on page 12?

Good to know and thanks for the contribution.

@Adoniram: Here are some things that would have been really helpful to me this past week and may be worth adding to your first post. 1.) After flashing with the first base map, my ECU reset my IAM to .75 which is common after a new flash. You want your IAM to 1.0 before you log your pull. 1.a) The quickest way to get your IAM to 1.0 is to WOT in 2nd to redline and shift to 3rd, WOT to red line. I had to do this 3 times to get my IAM to 1.0. 2.) Help tip: Not sure if this is the case for all models, but on my '08 LGT, the rear defrost button toggled the log file. Much easier than reaching over for the F1 button in my opinion. 3.) In "Selecting your parameters to log", I was not given specific instructions on what would should be logged. fultonhow provided me with this information from his E-Tuner. Thanks to fultonhow and m sprank for sharing this info. HDTurbo suggested I also added Boost Pressure Actual (PSI) to my log. Please confirm, but from what I can tell, this value when logging needs to be adjusted for apsi, or atmospheric pressure. At sea level, I believe you need to subtract 14.7 psi from the recorded value. For me at ~3,000 above sea level, 13.2. I found this info here. I didn't want to add too many parameters for fear of slowing down the data stream and therefore lowering my capture resolution of data, but adding this additional parameter created no ill effects. 4.) Stay WOT until the power cuts out. The rev limiter kicks in after 6500 RPM so just commit until the rev goes down then stop your log. I have never spent too much time at red line so I had no idea there was a rev limit set on my '08 LGT. Again, these are some things that I learned through this process and it might be beneficial to someone else. Nice write up, by the way. Thank you for your contribution. It did get me started!

Almost three years since I purchased this car new, I finally got some new tires and wheels. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ft2XnmRG724/S_H-nfOdInI/AAAAAAAABEo/SblwAOUO8tU/DSC_0032.JPG

I think it's looking damn sexy!

Thanks for the advise... I'll do some searching, but with a proper tune, can this get me around another 30-40hp or am I dreaming?

How about a "Get the most out of your LGT with these SAFE mods for your Daily Driver......" I've searched, and haven't really found a definitive answer on what mods will increase performance while maintaining longterm life of the car. If this is a dumb question, just tell me to bugger off...but seems like a good question for those who don't want a 'hobby/project car' but want the most out of their ride.
