I know whom you are talking about- wink, cough. Like alot lately, gotta back burner the s/c idea again but it's reassuring to know it's not just for California people. We'll see what economics are like post baby.

 

If you buy it and decide to sell it I will likely take it of your hands for what you have in to it likely. I've been eyeing it up for a long while as well but I just don't want to get raped on the duty.

 

You will have to pay shipping charges and GSP PST on the declared value (sales price) of the product. Stay away from courier companies as they will charge you a brokerage fee to process the paper work. UPS is $65.00. Have your sellers mail products to you and include an invoice for the "value" with the package.

 

Whats the lowest outside temp that i can safely do wot?

 

I usually have stuff sent to the UPS store in downtown Detroit. So much easier, many times I don't pay duty either. I either go there or if Fedex, it goes to the Ground warehouse in Livonia off I-96 and I get it there.

 

-65degrees F. Lower than that and you should have your head examined as to why you are outside in the first place. There is no set temperature.

 

Mine is in Dearborn Hights. I posted the info for the unfortunate souls that are far from a US border.

Until you get your pinging stopped,,you should not be going WOT no matter what the temp is!
Ya don't want to blow her up.

True but it feels so good...

 

If you have a tuner you can add fuel prally 2-4% would stop the ping till you get your new tunes

 

I have the non-intercooled roush on mine and i have to problems in -20 degree weather here in Cheyenne, WY. In fact, it runs GREAT!!! Sure loves the cold air!!!

 

Yes the colder the air, the better for boost.


Quick question for everyone with custom tunes... Do you have a single tune you use for winter and summer driving? If so do you also have an AFR gauge or way to log knock counts, IATs, timing, etc?
I've tuned boosted cars and have seen decent differences when it comes to PCM controlled boost with Summer and Winter temps. On the PCM controlled cars the boost would fluctuate with the temp in order to keep the power at it's target levels lowering in the cold and raising in the warm.

 

Same tune winter summer. The boost is controlled by a bypass valve not the PCM. The knock is monitored by the PCM. I do not yet have an AFR gauge. It is up there on my wish list somewhere. FWIW my truck is tuned for 12 pounds of boost. At WOT the gauge indicates 10. Belt slip....
