Just made it back to Miami a couple of hours ago from my drive from SGP and I wanted to post a little run I did. ***Please be advised this was performed on a closed course**** Listen to those dump tubes!

I will start a new thread tomorrow with dyno numbers/graphs and my SGP experience. All I have to say is mods can you add a nutt hugging smiley face? Me---->------>SGP

 

Congrats man!!!! Must've been a fun drive. From Texas to Miami right?

 

Thanks! Yeah Houston to Miami. I think it was 1700 miles. I left yesterday and arrived in Gainvilles this morning. My sister-in-law goes to UF so I caught up on some sleep and hung out for a while at her place.

 

you can hear the dump tubes a little better in this video. I will make some better videos as soon as I get a chance and a camera man.

Jorge,
Glad to hear you made it back ok. Wastegate dumps and 3" exhaust.....I think you have plenty of exhaust flow, lol. So by racing longblock, does that mean sleeved? Sounds pretty evil in the vids.

 

congrats on getting the motor fixed again. hope this one stays working!!

now aren't you glad you didn't sell your car?

 

I talked to Mark while he was tuning your car and he said it was making good power. I am glad to see this beast back in your garage. My favorite G on the board. Congrats Jorge!

 

You made 480 whp at 8psi? Thats some amazing numbers...

 

I have a SGP long block, Greddy TT, modified waste gates, 3" test pipes and 3" true dual exhaust. Yes the motor is pretty efficient.

Holy cow sweetness man

 

Congrats Jorge on finally getting your car back! Wow, very efficient! Is it because you went with the long block or is it the 3" exhaust system?

So I guess you're keeping her now?

 

MAn that is awsome great numbers. Happy to know that you are back on the road.

 

Congrats Jorge! I'm glad you kept the car.

 

So you spent 12 grand on that long block + 5-6 grand for the TT? Damn lol thats a lot of cash.

 

+Install, exhaust, tuning, fuel system, etc, etc, More like 40k right Jorge. I am now going to commit suicide lol.

 

Well you like this isn't my first time around so I've gone over the 40K mark. I too feel like committing suicide. I have recently joined a therapy forum to deal with these thoughts.

Yes I am keeping the car. Everytime I drive it I forget about all the money I spent.

 

Thanks Brian. The motor is so efficient because of all of the above plus the modified waste gates that dump into the atmosphere. It's kind of like having exhaust cut outs. Lastly my motor was built and tuned by the best VQ35 shop IMO.....SGP!

 

Man, I am so happy for you. I wanted to buy your car so bad but every time I thought about it, it brought back memories of my 300ZXTT and the money pit that was. I was so happy to get out but I always want back in. I struggle every day on what I am going to do for my next car. Take it easy out there.

 

I am glad I did too. Let me know the next time you out and about in Miami and I will try to meet up with you.

 

sounds sweet!
