She's going under the knife this weekend!

[99-LS1-SS]

The time has finally arrived! :D

The GXP (Wheel Hopper 2000 to some of you) is going to undergo a transformation over the next couple of weeks. I'm dropping it off tomorrow night and when I get her back, it will be a totally different car. Hopefully it'll have around 120-150 more rwhp. :brock:

Fuel system upgrade + TVS 2300 = :devil:

I'm nervous and excited.

[norm8332]

I was Super nervous. Don't worry though. it is worth it!!

[MGM GT]

Nice upgrade from bunny hopping to kangaroo jumping... :cool2:


Congrats!

[mtolivecracker]

youre possible wheel hop increase will be in my prayers. I am extremely jealous of the 2300, should be sooooooooooooo sweet. best of luck

[confused2much]

[G8GT721]

[99-LS1-SS]

Aftermarket. I don't have all of the details as far as parts but I have a good rough idea of what is being done.

[SpeedRacerX]

Gonna be awesome. Best of luck; she'll be fine. That IS exciting...

Man, I would be like a 10 year old kid on Christmas Eve.

[Steve]

Be sure to get those details when done (after it's proven to work of course ;) ) so that other (e.g. ME!) can figure out what to do come upgrade time (not anytime this year haha) ;)

[09gtt]

Congrats..ur car is gonna be a monster.

[Mike P]

There is a supercharged Camaro on the cover of this month's Car & Driver or Motortrend that you should be able to beat! :)

Awesome man! Congratulations! :)

[polo]

Congrats! I can't wait to see this thing. So, I guess this means you know who's car is getting ready to have you know what done to it.... :secret:

[616 of 933]

Congrats. Hope she hooks

[Kermit]

Need to come up to the "Beach" some time this summer so I can check her out!! :)

[99-LS1-SS]

After a shitty letter to the UPS guy, the last piece of the puzzle came in today.
This is the only time I could ever say this and mean it....

Behold, 3.7 inches of fury! lol

Congrats man!! Good luck sleeping at night while you wait for it to get done. It will be a blast to drive. I'm starting my fuel system upgrades as I speak. Can't wait to see what she puts down for you!

I'll be data logging hard core for a week or two to get it dialed in and by then my axles should be in. After that I'll be hunting a track. :D

[travis gore]

Congrats and good luck. I hope it is better than you expect.

Congrats:thumbsup:I felt the same way when mine was getting done. You'll have to learn how to drive it all over again.

[BestG8]

This is very likely a path for me as well. What times were you running before the 2300? I thought you were going to be the first GXP with a 2300, but BigV8 apparently is there already and maybe others. BigV8, what kind of times are you putting down in the quarter now?

Looking forward to pics and stats.

Excuuuse me. Sorry to offend your user name. Did not know you had an A6.

By the way Big V8, how many pounds of boost are you getting out of your 3.0 pulley.

[BigV8]

Thats a good question. I was told it would take it to 9psi before the install, but I forgot to ask them what it turned out to be. Is your GXP an A6 or M6? I was just wondering because of the diff in HP between the auto and manual on the dyno.

[1stGXPmaggie2.3]

Ive got an A6. Im currently have a 3.2 pulley at 9.5lbs. I will be bringing up the boost to a 3.0 pulley and installing a custom grind camshaft. With the first mod being the maggie at 7.5lbs of boost dynoed 497whp at Magnachargers location.

Did you have headers at those numbers?

[1stGXPmaggie2.3]

No headers or exhaust.

[99-LS1-SS]

Now for the fuel system.

Looks like your engine is "All Blown up now". Can't wait for the Video!

You two just remember that comparing dyno results on different cars on different dynos in different parts of the country is a lost cause. You can see 15-35 hp differences easily. There are three local dyno places that I have had vary my hp by, I kid you not, 45-50 hp. One is an extremely stingy dyno, the other is the dyno equivalent of a cheerleader on prom night, everyone gets a good result

[Ktlplxm]

What would you like to know? I have a complete write up on it, I just didn't take the time to bother taking pictures

[SpeedRacerX]

Maybe this is a stupid question but here goes...who is doing the work on this? Ktl....?aka well you know.

Congrats now on to the high jump competition

[Ktlplxm]

Well, the KTL does have a knack for producing some deceptively quick/fast/powerful combinations lol... and yes he has decided to refer to himself in the third person haha. He hears it helps with the ego

You know, it took me a full day to get this.....lol. :facepalm:

[99-LS1-SS]

I'm going to put my preliminary tune in the car Friday so it can be heat cycled. I will get to see it for the first time! I'm starting to really get pumped about this!

[Rawyzf]

Nice Brandon!

Haha Good luck just dump her around 4500 and hope she hooks

it is a carbon fiber effect intake from RotoFab... I installed mine on his car. Looks like I have a Vararam, again, at least for a short while

Ahh buzzkill... "carbon fiber finish" not real CF.

[Ktlplxm]

Ahh buzzkill... "carbon fiber finish" not real CF.

If it were real carbon fiber , no one would buy it because of price. I full 4" diameter tube with provisions for fittings, and a 100 degree radius... the kit would quickly become $650 and it would never sale. Plus, there is not benefit to the carbon fiber... you'd save what...one pound?

[1stGXPmaggie2.3]

Ktlplxm well said, that anyone can make power, some just make it easier.
