I never said it doesn't help on a stock car..
A bunch of people ran the FMIC on a stock car.. And the most notible increase in power was found at the higher RPMS where heat is greatest.. Ive ran my car stock a few times with all my mods and it definitely felt pretty strong, but its hard to say how much faster then a stock TT simply because the last time I drove a bone stock 225 was roughly 1.5 years ago..

AOA will have a problem with any mod on the car
As for dealerships, your experience will vary.. Some get pissed for a DV, others won't even care about a chip..

don't want to do the install at digis place?
The coilover install shouldn't take more then 3 hours, and while you guys are doing that I could always do the FMIC..

hehe... you think we can tackle both the same day?
didnt really think about doing them both the same day, but i guess i can try to get everything before then.
i have the coilovers coming to my apt, and the FMIC to my parents in rockland.
heh, im not even sure i can fit everything for both in my car
so you can be around on the 10th?

Im not too sure..
My buddys planned a trip up at Jay Peak on the 10th, and Im going to be up in Maine on the 9th, so I might be driving over to Jay.. It looks like Im going to be up in VT that whole week.. Leaving this sunday and most likely staying till next sunday.. (Jan 4-Jan 11) Its kinda hard to pass up some glads at Jay..

Yeah John
get everything from Mcmaster Carr...on the bolt that is missing, I sent you one with the same length and thread pitch bot with a 10mm end instead of an allen end. It should fit otherwise get some new ones. T clamps are a good idea while its off.
