what year is your car? if all you have is an intake why don't you go to the dealership asap as it should still be under warranty? just a thought since a flashing cel is usually pretty bad.

does vakamon do head polishing and porting. cause if the heads get pulled might as well put in new bumpsticks and valves, maybe even do some valve work...... have to talk to vakamon to see the price
