Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

lol. I've been pulling 20-21.5 out of it, so I really can't complain for the car that it is. It's got a bit bigger tank, 17 gallon I think?

Kylezilla, two words just in case: Anti-seize. OK two more- Bimetal Corrosion. Last person who had your tstat housing off didn't use any on the threads. Its necessary anywhere unlike metals meet, as in steel bolt in aluminum intake. Rips the threads when you take the bolt out. Taps are indeed the shiz. I even chase all the ancient threads on a fresh painted car body. When I was about your age I gorrilla-ed a carb stud on my Malibu. My Dad drilled the stud out perfect and the threads came out wrapped around the bit like a spring. That took a steady hand, but the intake was iron.

I know I should have put antisieze on, should still be fine right? I think I need to throw a new tstat gasket on its weeping a little bit but I'm too scared to pull the bolts out again so I'm going to leave it until it starts becoming a major problem.

I've been telling myself the same thing for a long time now lol. I have a free Saturday. The only downside is I'm going to really be pushing through some soreness because I had a ~120 play scrimmage last night and I saw easily 75% of those plays at least. I am not feeling too hot lol.
 
Depending on weather and how hot it is, I'll be pulling spark plugs to check them out, check fuel pressure, and finish up painting\sanding my FWI. I still have -10 to -15% LTFT, so I have some hunting to do.
 
My car still needs inspected! Ftw lol
Edit called the dealer got the oem exhaust gasket I needed based on reds recommendation lol 8 bucks for peace of mind

Found out why my car was louder than hell, I blew a huge hole in the side of my resonator. I took it to an exhaust shop today and no more open dp :) Straight pipes ftw now haha.
 
Took it to a car show yesterday and left with a burnout and another show today where I got complimented on my burnout lol
