1st, the O/R Prochamber.

I just finished installing it. Sounds awesome. I can't really get on it yet, still need a tune. But I am glad so far with the sound at idle and no boost acceleration. Much better sound than the Bassani O/R X I had on the car for a few days.

A little fitment problem I had was the driver side front O2 sensor. It was too short. The bung in the Prochamber must be farther down the pipe because it just wouldn't make it. I cut the wires in half and added an additonal 3 inches of wire. I guess this is what you have to deal with if you want the sound of the Prochamber. Other than that the fit/quality was okay.


2nd, the BAP with wiring upgrade.

I have a quesion about this. Does this sound normal or even explainable? The BAP gain control was probably set around 5% when I 1st started the car. It idled very hard and quickly got worse, and after about 10 seconds the car died. I then turned the BAP gain to 30% and tried again. The idle was initially ruff and quickly got better. After about 1 minute it was smooth as normal. What happened? Is a hard idle normal for a few seconds after a BAP install. I was expecting it to start up smooth. Think everything is okay?



Thanks,
Brian

I have always delt with Derek. I don't know if there are other employees or not. Real nice guy. Highly recommended. He had some special going on when I bought it. I don't know what the regular price is.

Regular price is usually around $250. Derek is a good guy. He used to be with Lethal Performance.

Do you have the Hobbs switch setup with your BAP? If you do, the BAP isn't even functioning at idle, regardless of the setting on the knob.
