Time to confess...

So i figure after sneaking around for the last 2 months or so ide come clean. Plus i couldnt hold it in any longer. After being on the stock blower with the stock pulley and tune, it feels like a whole new car.

Specs:
Whipple 2.9l
80lb injectors
Fore triple pump hat- return style dual 8an feed 6 an return.
Fore rails
3.5 pulley reading 16/17 lbs of boost

Next up looking to go with a built 8.8 so i dont have to keep babying it and fearing scattering the irs on the road. Smaller pulleys lined up on a desk waiting for some more funds to play with. Anyone ever run a 50/50 meth kit? Im looking into this since i drive the car alot and cant afford to just throw race gas in the tank all the time. I figure the meth will be alot cheaper for the higher octane, and ive read good things about the newer kits and the saftey backups they have now for them.

Who did your tuning?

03SVTCOBRA 07-31-2011 05:58 PM

Carolina chassis dyno. So far everything works well, and its on a very safe tune because i drive it alot.

tell travis hes a queer

Ill probably be re-visiting him in a few months with some other pulleys. He seemed like a pretty good guy and seemed to know what he was doing. Also didnt hear very many bad things about him, i expected a few as im sure every tuner get blamed for people blowing thier motors.

Ha, had us fooled! It's ALWAYS the tuners fault.

True.


Nice looking set-up. :bigthumb: I'm sure you feel a lot better now that your secret is out and everyone knows you like 'em big, black, on top, and packin' it in! :mrgreen:

Bet that Whipple sounds sweet.

forgot to mention that JLT and throttle body though.

looks good, what did it put down?

i dont like meth injection, if E85 is an option i think its a better one.

Shane361 08-01-2011 12:32 AM

620?

03SVTCOBRA 08-01-2011 06:59 AM

right under 620, accufab SB throttle body. No longtube or cams yet, i couldnt see pulling a perfectly good motor for either of those yet. Im happy with the powerplant, next up will be suspension.
