99% of the people I know with reflashes ended up going to the StreetTuner software so they could get their car to run without blowing black smoke (and get over 15 mpg). Cost of AccesPort + StreetTuner software = more than a UTEC.

and the flash i had in mine was about 12:1 AFR under load, which is pretty decent if you ask me. i got about 20-24mpg on mine

Track time & autocross. Oh and some cheap light wheels and some good sticky rubber.

That was a while back. You got yours when they first came out, before StreetTuner. Cobb changed their base maps quite a while ago after several customers reported knocking and a couple reports of engine internal damage. Many people were reporting 13:1 and leaner AFR's with their old maps.

And, UTEC's are under $1000 most every place I've seen them.

That was the most recent. It's long gone, unfortunately.. but the good news is that I got more out of it than what I paid for it.

Are you serious? I never knew who was behind that username. I came in there not too long ago and saw you in there but I was with my girlfriend a few weeks ago; We bowled a few games and left... I might be able to help you find a good turbo for a good price. Anything in particular? What's it going on?

Default Re: So whats your plans?

Not that its anything to brag about but I'm bored so I'll add mine.
1998 Isuzu Hombre 2.2L 5spd Reg Cab Red
Ebay intake, Ceramic Header, Gutted Cat, Dynomax muffler with turndown, Traction bars, e-fan, reverse glow gauges, rear sliding glass window,and a racing seat on the driver side, lowered 2 ft and 3 rear with Eibach springs, blocks in the back and a set of Toxic Drop shocks.
Thats what has been done so far.

My plans:
Get the other racing seat in(its sitting in my basement just gotta put it in)
Roll pan, new side mirrors and paint both bumpers and the mirrors to match the truck.
Spray in bedliner
Wheels and tires something simple like this with some decent tires

B&M shifter
Underdrive pulleys
maybe a K+N intake or something better than my ebay one
Eventualy I'll make a center console also.
Oh yeah a new clutch all the power I have it's about worn out.
Thats all I can think of for now. Please don't give me too hard of a time lol
