your from Trevose? im right down street rd in Bensalem

have fun. dont let the cops punk you.

i posted about this issue in your thred, ill quote it here:

"i had 15% all around and it was not a problem seeing out of the car at night. sometimes you had to lean forward and look out the windshield for turning, but this was only when you were WAY out in bum**** where there are no street lights anywhere."

also, ive sat in cars with 15% and 20% as well as 35%. to me (my opinion, remember), 20% is too light and you can see through it too much during the day. 15% is just that slight shade darker and looks great. limo tint, 5%, is too dark.

15% all around. the cops measured it with their light meter at 17%. i was pissed.

Glad to help

Well, if you get a reprogrammed PCM then it doesn’t matter as long as you plan a bit. If you get a custom tune then I would definitely put the HV3 in first. Basically the HV3 doesn’t require special tuning because the PCM will adjust to it almost instantly. However if you get a custom tune, you want to have the car setup just as you plan to drive it so the tune can be tweaked in for every last HP. Whatever PCM route you take consider raising your WOT shift points to about 6000-6100 RPM to get the most out of your HV3. Also, obviously the rev limiter set about 200 RPM above that. Those two RPM adjustments are really the only “tuning” items that should be considered.

Yup, I installed the HV3 about a year ago. I think it was a big improvement for my car. When I first got my car it had tons of low end power, but it was a real dog when trying to pass on the highway. Immediately after installing it I noticed a huge improvement upper end power and acceleration. Let me put it this way, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Just be aware the insert really only gives you gains above ~4000RPM, and in a stock car your probably really only gaining about 15HP.

i was wondering how do i get a tensioner pulley off. is it right thread or left
