Tune, flash, injector, s. booster, pedal box... Or what?

That lets me out

Chargers are pretty cheap and small these days. To get daily performance vs. the 1 time every 2 years you'd need to make the relatively easy swap is worth it.

AFA the SB install, even with the broken clip, the pedal is secure. Ask me how I know. I did replace mine eventually. Come by this weekend, test drive w/and SB and a PB, and I'll also show you what the install is like. Once you get it, I can do the pedal part for you. It's really no biggie. In fact, just buy the extra part (that $10 white thing) and you won't have to worry about it.

BTW, you know my vote - which is apparently different that the others here. Real performance (tune) over SB/PB first, but definitely get both in my mind.

My car passed California smog with Shark installed. I wouldn't tell the smog station the DME has been retuned.

I used the previous model Harbor Freight battery charger but I had to fiddle with the settings to make it supply constant voltage instead of shutting itself off whenever it thought the battery was fully charged. Set it to Start (continuous output, no auto-shutoff) but 10A charge, not 50A start.

The current HF model may not have this option. Looking at the picture, it only has 3 settings: 50A start, 10A start, 2A trickle, and a "regular/AGM" switch.

Thanx for all that info! I just found out Shark is not ca/carb legal either.
I'll try to see if I can swing this weekend.

John-
Thank for the tips and offers. I'm trying to swing time for this weekend. I don't have any product yet, but thanx for offering to help install.
Will you guys still be around sunday late afternoon?

An extra item to buy and fiddle with is probably enough to push me away,... i only have about 300, so both [or shark plus another item] are most likely out of the question.

My luck mine would not pass... i dont want to go a route that might spell extra work down the line... just looking for something simple

I wouldn't worry about that gas pedal bracket man. Even if it breaks trying to remove it replacing it is super easy. One Allen bolts holds it on and that's it. I'm not sure when I'm heading home yet, either late Sunday or Monday sometime. Bring it by Johns and we will throw it in real quick.

Here is what I have been thinking about for my ZHP's future. I'd love to hear some feedback about what I'm doing wrong or what I could use more efficiently. I'd like the suspension just a little tighter with some more umph from the engine.

In order of what I'd like to do:

1. Sprint Booster
2. Shark Tune
3. Performance intake (BMW or aFe Stage 1 Pro 5R)
4. TMS Performance sway bar set
5. TMS Power Pulley Kit

Thoughts?

You have a very similar plan to mine! Here's my order:
1. TMS Power Pulleys
2. BMW Perf Intake
3. Sprint Booster
4. [Shark | Eurocharged] tune
5. upgraded (TMS, M3, etc.) swaybars

I've done 1–3 already, mostly because that was the order I could afford them. If you're considering a customizable tune (e.g. Eurocharged) then I'd recommend doing the bolt-on performance enhancers (i.e. pulleys & intake) first. As for swaybars, I believe our track rats have a thread with recommendations (mostly get a better front bar, leave the rear one stock).

[johnrando]

I like that order. One minor mod maybe, the tune will take advantage of the Intake, so think about doing the intake before the tune.

Been trying for 30 minutes to wedge the damn screwdriver "into clip"... With NO luck.

Someone mentioned inserting it 1/2"? It will only go in less than 1/8"

What am I doing wrong??
