yup got it this afternoon from nengun.com. it took a long time for them to ship because they were on back order; but im definetly going to be ordering from them again very soon anyway, they were very helpful. my butt dyno thinks its alot faster , but just to be on the safe side im gonna take it to xat for a proper tune. they just moved into thier new shop and said they should have the dyno ready to go by tomorrow at some point but not definetly. ill post a copy of the results when i get home if not tomorrow; then friday. wish me luck!

thanks man ! i took it out and beat on it a little tonight and my general impression is that it is really really fast now, its alot better. i think it is as quick now as it should have been when i bought it ..... this is by far the best modification ive made to this car besides the initial swap!! carl, thanks for telling me to get the pfc; you rock!!

Yes, the PFC is an awesome upgrade. It fixed alot of stuff for me like my crappy idle problem.

I gained ALOT of power by pulling fuel back and tuning with FC Datalogit.

you know, I drove untuned powerfc for 2 years now, I doubt that is the reason why your motor blew

I'm about to buy the power fc (finally) I'm buying the rb25det model to run my rb20det though. I nabbed a rb25det fuel rail and injectors a while back and I already have a hks gt2530. I'm trying to locate a z32 mass air flow sensor as well since I'm seeing 4.8v on my datascan already.
