Replaced front steel impact bar w/ aluminum one from an '03 Aztec. Seems a little more nimbly-bimbly on take-off. Shed ~20 pounds

New front struts, rears coming soon

Ecopia EP422 ECO tires in front. I didn't notice much with the tires other than improved handling and traction compared to my worn out tires.

Big changes!! Got tuning hardware and software

-timing table from '04 Grand Prix Comp G (same engine, more agrerssive fuel and timing tables)
-Bumped cruise timing advance forward 3 degrees
-Reduced idle fueling by 3% (it was running rich anyways)
-Used trans shift speeds and firmness from '04 Comp G - about 20% decrease in shift time/slippage
-Bumped TCC engage in 4th gear from 45 to 40 (there are a few 45 mph sections on my route home and it hadn't been turning the tcc on.

E30 mix with some questionable 87 octane in the mix

Resonator replaced with a glasspack. Mufflers reconnected.

Road debris took out both wheel spats early in the week. I'm glad i slotted the mounting holes

Front tires may be a bit low due to cooler weather and rough roads due to construction.

Ran 87 octane instead of 93 because the below freezing ambient temperatures lower the intake temps enough to not knock under low to mid boost conditions.

Might lower FE if the ECM switches to crappy fuel mode (less timing advance)
