The new number makes virgins blush and brings a tear to a grown man's eye....

I will have a pic of the graph (thanks Robbie) and details on the number coming around 9pm after I put my son to sleep and can plug in on the office PC.

I am truly in awe of the tuning skills of Shiromasan and Tuna!!

Lets just say I joined a few clubs today

I know the numbers after today and they are EXCEPTIONAL to say the least....but Im not spilling the beans. Chris will do that. I sent him pics so he has no excuses (just wanted to let you all know). lol

---edit: Chris Ninja posted me as I wrote this. lol

The temp in the shop during the final pulls was 105 degrees Fahrenheit. This car apparently "Brings the HEAT!"

I would like to be the first to say CONGRATULATIONS CHRIS! It's officially ALIVE!....and a VERY VERY impressive beast to say the least.

It does get insanely hot in the shop there. Even when its ~70 outside it is in the mid 80's inside.

I went browsing the forums looking for that, but found this thread instead:

PS. Closed loop boost control is almost ready, but not quite there according to this post: http://www.vi-pec.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=229

Nice find i don't really read up on the there forum I guess I should. The shop i get my work done at is helping develop features with Ray. The input they had about the Z33/V35 and the E-throttle was from my car so it is exciting to see Cass running strong and hopefully Dave can help with the input on our platform it should speed up development of new features. "They" Ray and Cam think traction control should work on our cars it has yet to be tried only Cass and myself are running this system on our platform so far (according to Ray Hall). Like i said its all hopes and dreams at this point with the traction control but hopefully we car make it work with the stock wheel sensors on our cars

time will tell.

Awsome Cass are you going to pick up your beast tomorrow? I will check later....hope to see some numbers. I bet you are giddy like a school girl right now

No motor break in discussions here please. It was properly broken in on the dyno and running EXTREMELY well. He started at 2:00pm.

The First Day Numbers

Here are the results from today with a screen shot of the Dyno by Driven1:

643.5whp @ 20lbs max boost tapering to 18.3lbs in 5th Gear on 93 Octane + Meth. Air inlet temp of 103*F and 105*F in the shop ..... in Shootout Mode!!!

My Build: The Good, The Bad & The Progress-dyno.jpg

It turns out that the stock WG springs are not the 11lb springs, but the 6lb springs. Dave plans on changing out the springs later this week and seeing if I can join another club. He said he's comfortable that the current setup will handle ~24lbs boost and should put me over the 700whp mark on his DD

.

Today couldn't have gone better and was full of much WIN!!!

A huge Thank You to everyone involved in my build.... we did it guys!!!

Gord - The ViPEC reads the Meth with no issue. It runs one map with no meth, I pop open the cubby and press the button to turn the system on (Aquamist HSF-5), and it immediately switches maps and makes all the proper adjustments.

You can see how smooth it brings on the power by the graph - I haven't seen curves that nice since my honeymoon!!!

Very Fast & Furious style
