What did you do today to your 3/S?

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

Hey Forest did you ever get the MAFT dialed in? Any differences in driveability/power?

its dialed in about as well as my evo maf tune was. Really barely had to do anything. Pulled one click from the mid and it drives great. base settings for the other settings. WOT is somewhere around mid 11s, I haven't taken a day to really go out and do some 3rd gear pulls, but all my 2nd gear pulls look great.

It may have picked up a little power, but it is hard to tell as it has been pretty warm most of the time I've been driving. It hasn't picked up as much power as it should because I've hit the next load cell and in my timing map I'm running one less degree there. I'm not going to raise the timing until I take a day to do some full 3rd gear runs and for now I'm just enjoying it. You may not see a whole lot of power posts from me until the fall, I don't really know. It makes me smile as is, so I want to enjoy it for a bit. Getting another blackstone lab analysis at 1500 miles would make me feel better too. Only have about 900 right now.

I also found a spare sl ecu that I'm going to burn a tune on to and make sure the car runs on that. I want to leave it in the car, ready to run in-case I ever have a flash go bad and I'm away from home. Would be a stupid reason to need a tow and I tune about an hour away from here most of the time. The current ecu is on about 100 flashes, mostly messing around with startup, lol.

The driveability is 100% stock. No issues whatsoever.

My pdr guy drilled a hole in the fender well to get one they couldn't reach. Plugged it after. May be an option if it's a bad one.

I would avoid a PDR place that drills any holes, just my opinion though.

Yeah, it was a tough call, I don't have many options around me for PDR. They did confirm with me before drilling any holes. I thought long and hard and decided to just go for it, that dent has driven me nuts for years lol.

How else can they get to the quarter panels? I just had a dent guy take care of the SL's dents and dings, and I personally took apart the interior so he wouldn't have to drill holes. I did not see access to the outer panel from inside, and the door jamb access cuts off before the dings, so I told him to go ahead and drill a hole on each side and plug it. Small hole (1/2"), small plug no one will ever see, no biggie. But just wondering if you know of a better way I didn't see?

[CoopKill]

I ended up fabbing a tool that could access through the small holes of the inner panel on the inside. PITA to get to either way.

My planned repair is widebody quarter panels.

I actually thought hard about that at the time, but that was at the start of the Cianci self destruct era.

So pretty much what I read is...~400whp MAFT doesn't have very many gains..if at all...thanks!

[Jimvr4]

I should be replacing my EVO399 with a MAFT soon. I'm getting about 400 on pump and 450 on 101 right now. Both appear to be intake temp limited with my stock SMIC. Might be no gains to be had until I get Oohnoo's new stuff.

the ECUboost crew has been quiet lately...everything still functional for you fellas??
