Price is still at 4399. All the current GB memebers are taken care of at the $4399 price. We are just closing out and letting any straglers know what going on.

Anyone else get theirs yet except taurran (I know he had special shipping arrangements)?
Just curious as when to finally expect mine.
Thanks

Did people bow out because of the APS ST ?
well at least you got your price anyhow. Thats a great price. The GB timeframe was a little ahead of mine unfortunately. When are you 4 expecting your kits?

Well, although I am still learning the car all over again after the HUGE power increase, I was still able to send a Z06 packing into a nearby parking lot with its tail between its legs after it was on the losing end of a light to light exchange.

I'm going to the track on the 24th with it, so I'll have some ET numbers then.

Dynoed at AAM it made 370 rwhp at 355 lbs of torque. Dynoed this weekend under optimum conditions it made 390 rwhp and 373 lbs of torque. So for a single turbo kit and the few other mods that I have on it...I'm extremely pleased.

431;k143j; Nice!

Question: Do you think the second dyno was higher because your ECU had time to adjust? I'm taking back in for another dyno within the next week or two to see if I can get some better numbers. I put down 366whp on the 2nd run, and this was before the car had even gone outside.

I'm curious as to what your 'optimal' conditions include. I'm in florida, and at this time of the year, it's HOT AS HELL no matter what time I dyno.

Thanks, and grats on the turbo.

Thanks Dave!

I want to add that I really appreciate all that AAM did for me, and their patience with me when I started sweating not having my baby around....

Now it's time to go out and rack up some street kills.

This weekend I finish up the appearance mods by placing my newly received Veilside Version 3 Hood!

thanks for the pics, looks great. Can you hear the BOV well? Any heat issues?
Also, the numbers are good but not any better than the SC's but what is the potential with this kit? If you build the motor (or just crank it up a bit) what can you expect?

I'll leave that to Dave to explain, since I really don't know myself what the potential is...

The BOV is kind of funky, but attention getting (Imagine Curly of the three stooges and you're almost there to what it sounds like, that or if you're familiar with a turkey call) - lol and it is definately loud.

Right now I'm running at 8.5 lbs of boost, and I hear of people getting away with 10 & 11 lbs...so numbers over 400rwhp are easily achievable.
