He had a restrictive IM mani. He had the k8 on there is why its so low. Once he gets his KL IM on there, he should have better numbers.

I SAY BUYING THE ACTUAL CAR>>>>WITHOUT IT NO MODS COULD BE DONE
Ferrari Red w/silver Metallic 92' Mx-3 GsR: Blown 5 Built motors from my past project and am going to N/A for a while as I get use to Megasquirt for proper tuning then may boost....TT setups have too much lag and too low of a power output for the rpm range i sought....Single is better and may do that in future...New project is custom Alum Mani/ with 3-4" runners...NO ?'s about my previous setup I don't want anyone to waste as Much $$$$$$ as I did...listen to BabyBlue and the those guys and go with thier F/I setups

Best mod? My vote has to go to installing markerflash on my MX-3. Other MXers follow me, then I hit my turn signal and their jaws drop. Bling bling!!

Haha, highly recommended.

probably where the marker and the turn signal flash one off/one on then swap and keep doing it over and over when he turns on his turn signal

best mod has to be the "R appendomy" that just finially got finished... as in going from a GS to a GSR!
:D the KL-DE motor is kicking serious butt on my old K8..

now I'll probably have to get a millenia intake, and CAI, and work on the cat and such... but the new motor is the basis for all that will follow.
{sigh} Time to move on
Out with the old: Tropical Emerald MX-3 GSR (KL-DE)
