Just bought the plenum spacer from Mace, buying the tb, im, and blackice from Tracy, as well as my obx's are getting installed finally in the next week or two! Should I do one a time to feel the difference, or should I just wait for everything to come at once and have one hell of a Sunday???

My current set up performance wise: tune and vararam

that would be one hell of a day. but def drive the car and get a good feel of the before and after, although you will probably have to doa datalog and get an updated tune once the LT goes on

I say just do it all at one time. So you have a fun day followed by a large permagrin

Yeah i can't wait! as soon as this spacer comes in it looks like a super easy install

All at once unless you have a fetish for turning wrenches

Do it all at once for sure.

Wow...that is going to be exciting for sure!

One word of caution though...with all of those changes I wouldn't expect the car to feel like a rocket right away and I would definitely datalog AFTER your fuel trims settle down and send that file to Vince.

If you don't have a way to monitor your short term and long term fuel trims, drive it a good 50+ miles fairly normally and after that feel free to start getting on it. The last mod or two I've done, I noticed my fuel trims going a bit crazy until they finally settled down after a drive or two. This tells me that the ECM is definitely doing some relearning and I would think it would be a bad idea to do a datalog while the computer is still learning. (if anyone knows better otherwise, please say so!)

Anyways, I'm sure you are going to love it. Definitely keep us up to date on your thoughts.

Plenum spacer? Make sure you go ahead and order the extra bolts your going to need as well. You should be able to use ones similar to what Bmorecam quoted in the plenum thread, but about 10 to 15 mm shorter since he is running the 25mm MACE isolators.

Thanks for the tips! I plan on doing the whole thing at once unless certain things get delayed in shipping since I already have a headers. I'm going to do a home depot run with some measurements. I will make sure I go easy for the first 50 miles now for the ecm. Thanks!

the pros to doing it all at once is well obvious lol just a lot of fun at once.

I will say doing my mods one at a time gave me the ability to compare each mod alone, so that would be a con, but if I had them all delivered to my door together I would put them all in at once for sure.

Enjoy you are going to love your car even more if that is possible
