I'm into getting weight off my car. I removed the OEM lug wrench today. That took 1.5 pounds off the car. I carry a torque wrench for tire changes anyway. I don't need both.

I dropped my Sport off at EUROCOMPULSION for a dyno tune. I've been wanting to get this done before Twisted Sisters. Hopefully Toby can work some magic.

Very curious how well that goes. Not sure if there's a lot to be had out of the NA engine, but I know that a simple intake and the Solo Performance exhaust really woke up my Sport... damn I miss that car. It never complained about nothing.

I'm interested to see what the numbers are, even though I pretend not to care about the numbers. Hoping Toby doesn't work too much magic as it's hard enough shaking you off my tail at Sisters. Looking forward to the refinements being available for my Pop too!

They haven't done a NA Fiat yet so nobody knows for sure what the gain might be. I'm hoping for around 10 hp. More would be fine. I dropped 30 lbs off the car by changing wheels . I hope I can feel the difference that makes at Twisted Sister.

The lightweight Braids on the Pop make a noticable difference. I think you'll notice immediately that the car is more responsive, although yours never seemed sluggish ;)
