you are right the performace impact. At low rpm, the car lags like a turtle. But when I pass 60mph, accerlation is much easier.
Btw, I might do a ECU chip or intake mods to help solve this problem

No worries about jacking the thread guys. This is good stuff to know. What if I live in NY? How does the chip get installed since I'm on the other coast?
I can ask them C. They probably have connections with east coast shops. Im planning to head out and begin modding again soon.
Hey C, are you coming to Cali anytime soon? We should meet up!!
