[QUOTE="HPLouis, post: 16286447, member: 5445"] You are correct. When I bought the car, the prior owner had a 2.76 on it. I datalogged the car and saw that I was close to maxing out the MAF (1004 AD counts), injectors (100% DC) and FP (98% DC) so I put it back to stock. Took off the intake, exhaust and everything. I wanted to get it back to stock to have a baseline. The car was also low on power (406rwhp and 466rwtq on the 2.76 with stock exhaust, intake and conservative tune). I started finding parts out on Facebook, eBay and the marketplace here and slowly started to put the mods back on the car, this time data logging everything. I also changed the alternator because the maxing out issues were due to low voltage (I datalogged 12.31). I was on the 3.1 for a few months and, after data logging some more, I saw that I had enough room for a 2.93 so I added that. I didn't go back to the 2.76 because after some research and reading a lot of forums member's posts, I felt that the power increase is not worth the added stress, strain, RPMs and heat on the car. I saw a Metco aux idler for sale here, got that and after adding it, I saw the LFP pulleys wobbling so I had replaced those with Metco dual BB’s. I put the JLT back on after datalogging my IAT and IAT 2's and seeing that the temps go up at idle but drop back down quickly after the car starts moving so I was comfortable added that back. I replaced the off road pipe with a catted H pipe and found someone to trade my ATAKs for Stingers and now I'm here.
