My car now purrrrrs like a kitten. Changed back to 19lbs injectors and MAF, found a blown o-ring on one injector and now she purrs.

As for my battery, my dad is doing a job for a local starter/alternator/battery shop who will be taking care of my optima :) He will also be rebuilding my alternator to 160amp with heavy duty regulator and the whole works. All for the low low price of free.

This weekend, I'm going for my first joyride the Cougar has seen in 10 months.

After a dyno tune..... MILAN!!!

so are you doing the performance route now with the saturn?

Nahhhhhhh...the SRT-4 is going to be the performance... the saturn is going to be my SPL toy... the SRT4 so far can push 900 horses with all stock internals due to them being forged from what i was reading. Also from all the aftermarket support they are now getting...

225hp per rod is not gonna last very long..... it may work for 12 secs down the 1/4, but it won't do it too many times consecutively....

don't beleive everything you read... :)

yeah i am shaky about that... that's why i am thinking of going to get aftermarket internals just to be safe.
