Thanks for the advise!

I have 500 miles on mine right now and I am all done with break in. I did do the fuse reset and found the off idle throttle response to be much better and the exhaust note changed completely but that's all it did. I was a little surprised at the exhaust note as it now has some reverberation and is much throatier. It has had 93 octane in it from the beginning and had a proper break in so the fuse reset shouldn't have done much at all and it didn't. I took it out to a nice black top that is blocked off to traffic due to construction. Found my own little 1/8 miles strip out in the country with a good shut down. Had fun for hours! I will say that the Torque management MUST GO! I about puke every time I feel the trans shift and slip all the power away. I have never had a quick/fast street car that shifted so poorly. Once that is gone it will accelerate even better.
I will install the New Era CAI this Tuesday and see what happens.I will port the throttle body after I have evaluated the CAI. Then its OFF WITH IT HEADS! Some decent high performance valve job work and contouring as well as a touch more compression should help matters don't you think? LOL I love EFI and the tun-ability it gives me but jumping through hoops with this factory shit is a pain in the ass sometimes but I have to realize that is designed more for drive-ability than all out power and acceleration.
I was also looking at how easy it is to pull the engine. WOW, two hours and I could have this out, on the engine stand and ready to strip all by myself. Its a very well laid out engine compartment.
