if you are running those parts you stated in your sig expect mid 13's....

if you have time return your stage 6 chip and if not i highly suggest getting the chip checked before you put any mileage on your car. not to disappoint but i hope for your sake you get extremely lucky. if for some reason it does hit 12's as it sits with the tpis parts be sure to play the lotto.

do a search on the internet and you'll find i'm not the only one however i trusted them with as much as you are which is more then most and really lost. you do as you like but i can tell you now that with the parts they've given you your not going to make anywhere near what you think and if the program is like a dozen others who have stage 6 chips you'll soon find out. if you can do anything about it i highly recommend you do, if not i wish you luck.

like i said, if you can't return the chip and your already put the parts in the engine pray for a miracle.....

that's where my problems began this time last year...it ran but i couldn't test it until the 6" of snow melted a few months later voiding any warranty. because it started and idled fine with no smoke or real visible signs of trouble i figured i was ok and since tpis supposedly had such a great reputation i never thought twice to worry.

i hope things will be fine for you, but my suggestion to you is to be sure and check the programming through someone else before you do any real driving with the car. if you need help when the time comes email me and i'll be more then happy to set you with people that really know what they're doing.

get it together, run some tests and email me with what you have. if it's anywhere i think it will be i can't help you with the parts but i have the right program for that setup that will greatly help you in gas mileage and your 1/4 time.

check all your normal starting pieces. i went through and had everything possible tripple checked on my car before i pointed fingers at tpis......

it may be something as simple as a ground that's loose.
