Should be okay with cooling mods but you're in a miami so could be different.

Not really a safe setup by a long shot i would suggest larger injectors and a real tune.

yeah, but stage 2 tune runs the injectors harder. A 2.9 is still the safest to go... but... if you really want to keep your 42's and run a 2.8, meth could help. You lean your car out when tuning for meth, so that'd probably bring your idc's down a little. Even still, a 2.9 is the maximum you should go.

not knocking it bro, but you even said you had 122% idc

have fun with it

btw to the OP i thought you were getting a custom tune. Staged tunes are gonna eat you alive with a 2.8. I know alot of people who run it and have had no issues, but safer than sorry is always good.

I will say this though.

Ive been running 12.2-12.5 under WOT with no issues for about 10k miles and beating the **** out of it. So i dont know how relevant 11.5-11.7 is when the rest of the engine world runs these numbers.


well short of bandaiding #4
