Congrats, looks great!
:woohoo:

As far as racing, sure, as long as we can go to an 1/8 mile track.

:nah:

[GRRRR8]

That is awesome Tom in all seriousness. So...........where are we having the shootout. :)

Sounds more like an execution to me (considering my car's paltry 415 hp). But if I have a few weeks, I could get a maggie, nitrous, ram induction under the hood, bore it to 413 and blow out the fuel injection system and replace it with a fire hose.

[-Ray-]

I'm happy for you tom, I know what an ordeal that was for you. Now, go after your rightful place in Fastest FL G8.

[g8_795]

Holy *&^#!!! That is crazy. You need to get that thing to the track. I want to see how that thing runs.

Can you get any videos of it?

[wreckwriter]

Hope to run it this weekend.

[Steve]

So hey Tom, what's it like to run with 500whp for a daily driver?
about as far as you'd go, or you think another 100/150 would be just about right? ;)

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

Jesus that's like 600hp at the crank, that's a lot of ponies you got there Tom!

NICE!:flame:

[G8GT721]

closer to 650, i think we have a 20% loss IIRC

[Cobra]

I'll race you...but after looking at my page and a half of mods you will probably decline :)

[confused2much]

Sex on wheels Tom!

[fiveoh]

Very nice numbers. How exactly does the "remote tuning" work?

[wreckwriter]

Thanks guys. Kirk and Brent did a helluva job tuning this thing, got about 100 HP more than I expected. Seems maybe my blower belt was slipping previously as Brent says the boost is back up to 10 lbs... That's a bit scary but I dunno if there's hood clearance for increasing the pulley size again.

Car doesn't feel much different, a bit more tendency to squeek the tires at start if I'm not careful but pretty much the same until the boost comes in. Haven't had much chance to test it yet, hopefully the next couple days will change that.

[GTPprix]

Run it run it run it run it :D

I'm dieing to hear your thoughts about the converter plus the blower.

I'm interested to see where you come in at in the 60ft.

If you're back at 10lbs of boost, where would you be with the old pully?

I have big concerns about being able to launch it. Going to need some practice as I've previously been flashing it; haven't run it yet with converter or DRs.

16 or so I'm guessing, maybe even more.

Tom-

I might have missed it elsewhere, but did you use a wideband O2 with the data logging?

Nice numbers!!

The dyno has one, I don't have my own.

[99-LS1-SS]

So, since your goal was 11.50's, how far from the finish line are you going to let off? I'm thinking you are going to run low 11's at worst. That's a shitload of power.

[Devilish34]

+1

[wreckwriter]

+1

OK, it basically works like this: load the data-logging software you get from Vector, connect laptop to car, do runs, either dyno or street , send data-logs to Kirk, he reviews logs and sends back tune, flash tune, lather, rinse, repeat as needed until it's right.

I hope that's not the case. I'm thinking traction is going to limit me. I'll be happy with 11.98 (then I can run in Super Pro class).

With your drag radials I would be SHOCKED if you ran anywhere near a 11.9x. My brothers Camaro runs mid 10s with 50 less horsepower. Granted it weighs around 800-900 lbs less. But, it doesn't have a drag racing suspension setup either.

Is there a way to plug the wideband info from the dyno into the logs?

The A/F ratio is on the bottom of the dyno sheet.

[GeorgeInNePa]

11.98?

hahahahahaha

:rofl:


Did you buy a PowerFlash?

You might need a "race tune" that has lowered shift points and possibly some extra TM added back in.

;)

It doesn't happen every day, "Hello, Mr Tuner, can you slow my car down?"

It already has some TM added, wanted to soften things up a bit. Not yet on the PowerFlash but very likely.

Thanks :) I assumed thats how it work but without the LSR

Too bad they are sold out of them right now

[Naptown99]

DAYYYUMMMM.... sick sick numbers

[R.Penguin]

[WhyteSS]

[BSmith]

Damn happy for ya Wreck!

[Vertical]

Wow!!! Congrats wreck, i can't wait to see that thing in action.

You ready for Moroso, errr....."Palm Beach International Raceway"

Edit: Didn't see this post

http://forum.grrrr8.net/showthread.php?t=4972&page=4

What time do you plan on heading up there on Sunday?

[Chewy]

That IS some sick numbers Tom. Enjoy and PLEASE be careful with it. That kind of power on the street can turn into bad things fast.

[GrandPrix98GT]

Congrats.. those are nice numbers!

In person.... it sounds like it wants to rip your heart out!!!!

Know... Tom can handle it...

but can his shoes?????

Mickey "T" will make $$$$$$$$$

[wreckwriter]

Just waiting on a tune tweak, hope to get back to the track this weekend.

[99-LS1-SS]

Tom,
With your last run did you have any issues?

[-Ray-]

I think he said he hit the rev limiter on shift.

[99-LS1-SS]

Every shift?

[wreckwriter]

Correct. Just heard my guy with the cable is out so will not be able to race this weekend.

[Vertical]

Weak!

Sorry to hear that Tom, at least you closing in on your goal. Your car will definitely put up some good numbers when you get back to the track.

[zosoboogie]

I can take you up on that race offer!!!

[wreckwriter]

I can take you up on that race offer!!!

I'll be at Moroso Sunday, changed my mind, don't want to miss another money race. I'll be shifting manually so you'll almost certainly beat me but I'll demand a rematch when fixed :)

[johnh]

Most impressive.....
