I have the EGR deleted and could care less what the side effects are - the tune took care of that.
I don't need to worry about that 1/2 mpg anyways which I obviously don't since I have 4.30s which is sooooo bad as well.
The EGR is supposed to control emmisions as well but I threw that idea out the window when I removed the cats.
The Kooks headers aren't worth the cost either and don't really help that much anyways. I didn't need that Flaming River steering joint either because the stock rag joint was kind of cool being all mushy like that and it didn't really need room to clear the headers.
I don't know what got into me thinking that shiny Gen1 intake would be as good as one of those "Cobra" intakes with the snake emblem on it.
The CAI was just a waste of money since we have cold air intake stock from the factory.
Everyone knows the stock Mark VIII MAF is just fine so I don't need that Pro-M 85mm MAF either.
The 40K GVWR tranny cooler I plumbed in bypassing the radiator tank cooler isn't allowing my transmission to get up to temperature.
That 3800 stall converter was wayyyy too much since I now have to mash the gas pedal half way to get the car to move.
The Meziere electric water pump is going to cause me to blow up the engine anyday now.
We all know I shouldn't have taken the finely tuned harmonic balancer crank pulley off in favor of the underdrive Steeda crank pulley for 2 HP.
I don't know why I put in 12C spark plugs when I know the 32Cs were just fine since the car has knock sensors anyways. I guess 'cause I thought I needed them since I replaced the stock coils with the overpriced "Screamin' Demon" voodoo coils.
Those spark plug wires? OK, I admit it, I bought them because I like BLUE. You gotta give me credit - I didn't waste my money on those Nology wires.
OMG, I almost forgot about the awful 160 degree thermostat that never allows the engine to get to peak operating temps.
All those braces... tsk, tsk, tsk - and that overweight sway bar - what was I thinking? All they did was make the car heavier and slower.
Now if I can just find somebody to buy my "factory" HID lamps I so foolishly scrimped and saved for when I could've waited a 3 or 4 years and bought some cheap HID kit off eBay for my toasted headlamps.
To think of all the money I've wasted on this POS car trying to make it go fast when I could've just bought a Mustang.
Jeesh, and I'm still not in the 12s.
