The Greg Barnish book was really good I thought.

If you need any more recommendations I have a few others that are pretty good. Also if you have tuning questions, post them up. Im no pro, but I will help where I can. Almost got my VEMS installed completely and will be tuning soon

Here are some books:

This one is more basic:
How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems

This one is more advanced:
Forced Induction Performance Tuning A Practical Guide to Supercharging and Turbocharging

Even if you aren't looking to turbo the forced induction book is still very good to understand engines. The Greg Barnish book was good too.

Almost done with the wiring on my car. I went overboard and did the interior wiring too:

Its very close though...

If you ever have tuning/theory questions, feel free to ask. I'll share what I know.

To be honest I am not sure if I will go to the picnic. I'll probably swing by and check out the cars and say hi to old friends, but thats about it. Last year I left after just a few hours. Loses its appeal when you have seen most of the cars a billion times before

Keep in mind the old Triple X location was a few blocks from my apartment when it was there so I have been there for the last 6 years or so. You just see a lot of the same stuff

If you are making it up for the picnic though, let me know and I will be sure to swing by and say hi!

The torsen will be nice!

Is the z3 diff a direct bolt on?
