For some time now, I've had the stuff to make the M30 AFM swap, but just lacked motivation to get it all installed. I finally got a friend to make me a custom bracket to mount the AFM to and installed it. Then the 19# injectors were next. Also added the K&N air filter. After that, I decided it best to dyno and install the AFPR to tune the a/f ratio.
Friday night we made Thunder Racing in Baton Rouge, LA., where Jonathan works, and did some baseline runs on my car. Then we installed the BMP AFPR and did some more runs. I was very pleased with the results.
The surprising thing was that I was running fine up until about 5500rpms where it began to lean out a bit, but after we adjusted the AFPR we were able to get the a/f mix set and picked up a few horsepower and some torque in the process.
We ate some hotwings at Hooters, did some driving Friday night and then some more today. Good stuff. Branden lost a caliper bolt and ended the afternoon drive, but it was a great trip.
Big thanks to Jonathan and all the guys at Thunder Racing in Baton Rouge for being so helpful and going out of their way to make everything right, I couldn't be happier!

Yes, the pics suck here, and we did try the tripod:

Uh, this is me:
Blue line/baseline run, Red line/last run. The torque spiked but was running about 151lb/ft.:
