Just Got my ECU Back from SpeedTuning
Dude that is 76mb! Might want to try compressing it/use photobucket or youtube to host.
I said you should do a 0-60 video, not drive around gear hunting and blowing off boost the whole time! lol Might want to try using tip mode to hold a gear so there isn't so much up/down shifting. We would be able to get a better idea of the powar if you stayed in the 2k-4.5k range holding 3rd gear.

Ok, but I'm serious about swapping the airbox back in, your lag time up to 2.5k is hiddeous! It should make a very noticeable difference for you since you have auto. Trust me I've been there and done it twice. It makes a difference.

you never said anything about my airbox

Which part of the snorkel? If it's not in pieces, just rig it. Even if you didn't use the snorkel, it would be fine. It's the volume/dimmensions of the stock airbox that make the difference. Of course you want the outside air as opposed to the under the hood air, just get a new snorkel or whatever whenever. I mean you don't HAVE to do this, I'm just saying to try it because I know you will see what I'm saying about the low end tq and pickup. I have gone back and fourth twice with an intake and airbox and there is certainly a difference. Having an automatic makes it even worse since you are always starting from 800 rpm's. Sure throtle response is better with an intake, but that doesnt mean ****. You can feel the engine responding to your foot quicker, but after that, it's slow going until you reach boost around 2.5k compared to when using the stock air box.

I have seen that done before... I'm guessing that would get you some better air volume and cooler air

That would make no difference. Part of the advantage to the airbox is the "horn" that is used on the MAF inside the airbox. It's designed for optimal airflow through the maf. You lose that part when using a cone intake. So you can either try using the airbox like i suggest, or just forget about it.
