Do what I did, over the aluminum screening I used for filter I put about 5 layers of pantyhose. Adds a little extra filtration for those small particles and doesn't affect flow. Just ask your girl for a pair, or one stocking. It's all you need ;)

It's a basemap. It's not supposed to be reliable - that's what tuning is for.

You can deduce MBT if you keep an eye on coolant temperature logs. It's assinine, no one ever mentions it that's I've seen, but I watched it with Steve's car on the dyno, and I replicated it with both the White Car (built H22) and the Black Car (built 2.0/VTEC) in the last two weeks.

The only thing marathon about that whole deal is how much of a fuckup both I and Steve are. It takes me nine hours to make a four and a half hour trip between getting halfway there and realising I forgot the 2.5 bar MAP, and driving 45 minutes past the interstate exit I needed because I was tired. Steve is very married, and his wife keeps him on a leash... so the time we were allowed to work on the car was very abbreviated - we never got the car running well enough to go to the dyno with... in fact, we were 45 minutes late for our appointment because we were trying to get the 2.5 bar running halfassed. Actual dyno "marathon" was an hour and 15 minutes or so.

I go back to Raleigh the weekend of 4/30-5/1 and we have a 4 pm dyno appointment. Steve has told his wife he's working both days, so I have a fourteen or so hour window of opportunity to get the car street tuned on the 2.5 bar before we roll to the dyno at 4 pm and shoot for 300-325 whp. Steve kinda wants 350, but that's the ragged edge of the 550's he's running.
