11.6@126 MPH and a 1.8 60 aint just spinning. Good job ! 
I just got some 9.5 factory rims with 285s out back . I will surely test them both stock and modded. Not sure how the Hankooks are but they look grippy.

I believe I posted that in your other thread about the looped rail 
Everyone has their favs ranging from dashdaq, innovate, Aem, etc.
I do like the AEM with failsafe, I use it and it's really good

Thank you for the info. Its amazing to me how much info you can get on these types of forums about cars. Its like going to school. If you pay attention and filter out the BS you can learn a lot.

Well that was one fun week of research and buying parts 
All parts are brand new. Saved a good bit of money shopping around. Was more work but worth it. $5900 plus install on some. I think I did pretty well.
Already purchased:
$1700 EC LT headers
$900 EC 82 MM TB
$115 new IC pump
$75 K&N drop ins
$75 One step colder NGK plugs
$375 550 Bosch EV 14 injectors
$825 185 MM pulley kit.
$340 Split IC system top mount 2.5 gal
$0 MT Drag radials for strip *Buying* Just sold my new set for my GTO for $300 so its a wash
Car has all new idler pulleys etc already
$0 18 in (9.5) factory chromed 5 spoke AMG rims with virtually new 285s out back . Selling my black ones to a friend for the same price so it s a wash
Still need to purchase:
$1000 OE tune .
$500-$1000 Killer Chiller
Wideband/scanner
Going to change the tranny fluid as well as per recommendation and will do a flow test for fueling

Ok , wanting to order a wideband now. Looked at the AEM, seems pretty simple and straightforward. Reasonable price too At $300 shipped. Is there anything I would want that this is missing ?
Looked at the other one mentioned above and it looks great but is pretty $$$. Looks like it would be around $800 with everything you need unless I am missing something.
Build is set for the 6th.

Has anyone ever run a 10.99 or better with a pump gas tune and full interior? THAT would be impressive!
I'd like to see a car run a low 11-second, full street-trim and fuel tune on regular street tires. (I know it's asking too much for 10s, without drag radials).... to me that would be the ultimate street sleeper. And if someone rolled up next to you on a moment's notice, the car would be truly ready to run..... no tire swaps, no reflashing, etc. Cool.
