What did you do to your 18+ eco today?

[H@mmer]

Look at the pictures on my phone and miss it while I'm gone on the West Coast for work
:(

Before I left in May, I swapped to an Airaid intake and I just ordered the MBRP street spec exhaust so that's waiting for me at home. Gonna install that and possibly a tune when I visit home for the 4th of July and hit up Blood Mountain.

If you remember this post, hit me up with a PM if you decide to ride up Blood.
I hope I'll have my GT back in town by then.

Who tunes the 2018's? Save your money on the intake as the cost doesn't justify the gains.

I am not aware of anyone that does yet. He may be mistaken

You know; the more that I drive the car; I find that the factory tune along with the 10 speed auto is just
fine for me. The car is an absolute blast whether in city driving or on the open highway. I have a stroked 400rwhp '95 GT for those times I want to really tear it up.

I know I need a bigger intercooler being in Phoenix. Also I think I need more top end so a fp tune may need to happen in the future.

Nice! What did your PP car come with originally?

Bigger intercooler? It was only 113° yesterday.

Lol right, what am I thinking? :headbonk:

These.

These.

The Brembos look great. Are you setting the car up for track days?

Yes, eventually. I bought it to use as a daily driver and occasional HPDE car. The plan is, once the warranty expires, I will move it more towards a dedicated track car. I took it to Road America last month. After a few laps in the first session, the pedal was getting soft. On the 6th or 7th lap, the pedal touched bottom. Rather than spend a bunch of money trying to get the 4 piston brakes/rotors up to snuff, I just bailed and installed the GT PP 6 piston Brembos and larger rotors. I haven't tracked it yet with these, but I'm expecting an improvement.

That's a great mod and should really help in reaching your goal. What pads did you go with?

Right now I just have the stock GT PP pads. I've had decent experience with Hawk in the past, e.g., HP+, etc. I still need to figure out how I want to run some cooling ducting.

Why are you doing these things to a brand-new car?

Because I want to seal the paint right off the bat.
