Looks good, shared my REV2 logs here, shared my REV3 logs here

That tool is darned cool, looking at the difference between the REV 2 and REV 3 logs on the site - seems like a degree of timing advance was added at peak torque (around 11 degrees) and steadily increases to around 19 till about 6500 rpm compared to REV2 around 10 and steadily increasing to around 18...

REV2 = red, REV3 = blue.

Great curve. Looks really smooth and safe especially for our crappy 91 gas.

The Air Intake Temps are a bit too nice right now (around 65 degrees ambient temps), will check it again next year when it's hot as hell out.

Whiteline control arm bushings installed, Whiteline ALKs reinstalled, alignment. Car rides like it should now.

Shop had some trouble pressing in the replacement ALK bushings, and per Whiteline's advice they stuck em in the freezer for an hour. Worked man. Yay physics!

1) Replaced the Air Filter (using the stock airbox) with a new one (paper element), cleaned the MAF sensor with CRC MAF Cleaner and did some pulls to verify the tune..

AFR's leaned out by .5 and saw some feedback knock correction during the pull starting at 3700 RPM or so..

Got a new REV from Eric of Torqued Performance which rescaled the MAF, AIR fuel ratio's dropped and looking much better and no more feedback knock during the pulls.

Wasn't expecting replacing the air filter (I'm on the stock airbox) which had around 8-10K on it (paper element), and cleaning the MAF (on a 28K mile car) would increase AFR's by half a point.

Installed a remanufactured steering rack, new hub/wheelbearing, front rotors (Centric Premium blanks), and Stoptech SP pads at all four corners. Long weekend, and a first for me installing a steering rack. Not too bad and I could certainly shave off 40% of the time now that I've done it once. Would love to have a lift for this shti though!

I wouldn't expect that either! Were you scared cleaning the MAF at all? What product did you use?

They sell a spray at most auto shops... It's called MAF cleaner. Take the MAF off spray it... Let it dry then put back in. Anyways... Today awdorgtfo helped me installs perrin inlet, turbosmart dual port BOV... More to come in the next few weeks
