I dropped off you my this morning and I am guessing with the new install just about 555HP. I guess we will see what it is either Monday or Tuesday!!!
:poof:

Not sure what you're getting done but if your HP guess is close it'll be a badass.

If you don't grenade your motor or drivetrain and if you can put the power to the ground you'll probably beat me. There's a couple ifs there though....

One of us will be the state champ for sure. I'm not ready to concede that title just yet :)

I will be curious to see what this will do without a cam change. How much boost/cfm are you planning to flow? That would seem to be a lot of HP by just dialing up the boost.

Snow is nice when it falling and I get to make snow angels in the upper east side of Manhattan and in central Park but when you flights are canceled and delays it sucks, I could of be in Australia by now, 20 hours in the airport!!!

and picking it up tomorrow but the suspense is killing me plus I have to speed walk to work now.. Also the only thing that didn't get installed due to issues with is was the Torque converter!! Ohh well I guess I can't get it all maybe next time

wreckwriter

03-03-2009, 04:57 PM

How come they didn't put the converter in?

zosoboogie

03-03-2009, 06:11 PM

the converter was making some loud noise so they took it apart and saw an issue with one of the bearings. So I just sending it back for now maybe later I might get one not sure if I really need it!

No, we did not cut the converter open. We installed the converter, and it made a grinding sound when we put it in gear. We immediately removed the converter, and you could physically see inside of the converter that there was scoring. We contacted the manufacturer about it, and they said it sounds like a bearing came loose, and want us to send it back. We are in the process of flushing Arthurs transmission, to make sure that no stray metal particles are left inside the transmission.

That sucks you have to spend your time doing that. Hopefully it gets all cleaned up.

Arthur, who is tuning your car?

did you get your car dynoed yet? What are your numbers?

wreckwriter

03-04-2009, 09:23 AM

Numbers won't apply now that I've changed the pulley. I'm back in the old familiar game of trying to arrange for a tune. Seems I spend more time doing that than actually enjoying the car. You're lucky you live where you do and have a few options. I have shit here.

Just too far. Jeremy will be going to Ft. Myers in the next couple weeks, guess I have to wait til then. That's too far too but no options here.

Seriously this waiting just kills me. I've even considered trading the car for something older than doesn't need this tuning shit.

I guess I am biased... I lived in south florida too long, and took every chance I could to get away for a bit.

Good luck on gettin that beast tuned up, Tom. Don't give up on her just yet.

Not to cause controversy... Used to spend winters in Hollywood... Loved it when it was primitive!!! (50's & 60's) Now am in Naples, after a stint in Sarasota....

You all need to just meet around Ft. Myers Beach - Naples and we can all just CHILL! Traffic is non-existant this winter!!!!! LOVIN IT!

Nice numbers. I wonder how everything is going to hold up after a few months of abuse. Thats the only stopping me from slapping a maggie on my car.
