A Must Read!

Has anyone seen the red up shift light appear on their dash Car in manual mode , dash set to gear and oil page, start in 1st and go, the dash turns red with a #2 and the word "up" and in a flash and its gone .. Never seen this before until the Renntech ECU and Header upgrade Which was finished last night around 10pm. Fun drive home

Great stuff, the car will do this w/o ecu tune and or headers. Looks like the tune WOKE YOUR CAR UP!

Get that car to a track and make us proud.

How does she feel vs. Stock what else do you notice. Have you used 100 octane yet

One of my favorite options on the 07's. Isn't it amazing. Its called the race timer option. I stopped using it though cause my car redlines acurrately in every gear when I'm in sport mode. No need for manual anymore.

It's about time you added steroids to that good looking beast of yours. Who did the renntech? Do you have any before and after stats?


Considering it on my 55 only if my factory warranty remains in effect.

Have one thing to say about the upgrades and thats HOLY SH_T!! Now as far as before and after dyno , I feel that real world driving is the best test. I have had many many cars with mods, some you can hear, some you can feel and some you can read. The best mods of all IMO are the ones you can feel . The sound is great, the looks, fantastic and best of all when I step on the gas the car squats down gives a low growl and then in a flash it SCREAMS down the road like you can't even imagine. Now as far as HP gain I will get this beast to the DYNO soon. Like I said the #s are just #'s. One last word RENNTECH KICKS AZZ!. And a big thanks to JAMES and crew at CREATIVE AUTO WORKS in San Dieago CA, seE you at the show on Aug. 11th
ECU,HEADERS AND LOWERING MOD,

We played with that, and showed the owner how it works on the last 63 we had in.
