updating for shits and giggle, even though nothing too much has changed yet.
I'm up early today, heading out soon on a 6 hour trip to pick up a good stock trans for $100 which I'm going to throw in for a temporary fix while I rebuild mine. Still want to go with a semi-built trans so don't plan to stick with the stocker but at least she'll be more friendly to drive daily again - though she's still not going to come out as soon as there's any salt down.
Also she did make the DSMTuners 2015 calendar! Now I guess I gotta buy one.
So hopefully I'll be able to update this weekend with the trans in! Still need to buy a clutch too but the act2600 still shifts fine so it should be fine to be left in with the temp trans for the time being. It only slips if it gets hot, usually after too much of a burnout before staging. If it looks really insanely bad though I might bite the bullet and order one and wait to finish the trans til it comes.
On another note, I finally caved and put her back on 91 pump on a very "safe" tune. Figured for the little driving I do in winter like this I didn't need to stay on e85 and 23psi. Took off the MBC so I'm running off the 14.7psi wastegate spring. Running a pretty flat 7-9 degrees of timing through WOT and 10.5 target a/f. I forgot how slow it can be haha. Should be really safe though. Still feels like she might have a mid-low 13 in it though.
Spent christmas eve tuning it, got it pretty solid. Drives perfect, definitely miss the power but the main motivation was 91 is now actually even cheaper at the pump than e85. Being that I don't beat on it much right now it just made sense to do the switch back. Will probably go back on e85 in April.
