Gman just phoned me at 3:15am (another long night the shop, working on MJedens car) Anyways, Gman told me he just maxed out his speedo at 160mph, and he stilled pulled hard for another 5 seconds before he let out of it.

I'm not sure why you made the comment of non-bearing turbos being bad. Bushing turbos are very reliable, and you don't have to worry about blowing a bearing up.

I just put that there cause every now and then some says how ancient the greddy turbos are. For being so ancient there still pretty efficient.

Yeah it's was insane. I've never gone that fast. I do 140MPH all the time, but once I get there I was usually run out of road or have to slow down for some reason. Last night the conditions were perfect. No cars in sight for miles and there was awesome visibility even though it was 3 am. I didn't even have the car in high boost. I was set in low at 12psi. The car is way faster with this tune. I was prepared to stop at 140mph like I normally do, but I made it there so quick I kept going. Before I new it I pegged the spedo and just rode it. If I had to guess I'd say I made it up to 170MPH. I actually had my digital camera recording and the fuking battery died around 120MPH. After the run was complete I was so excited thinking I got it on film I immediately played it back. Needless to say I was pissed off when it stoped at 120MPH. I don't plan on trying again anytime soon.

Congrats Jorge! Very glad you finally have the car running perfect and enjoy it. I know you came pretty close to kissing it goodbye. Hopefully I'll get to check it out in Dec for HIN.

Thanks Todd. I don't plan on repeating that anytime soon. You're a good guy too. A real car enthusiast! Looking forward to meeting up with you and the other some time in the future. PM details about Sema.

Default dyno video

Here's a little video of the car on the dyno. BTW, I didn't make a mistake on streetfire when I typed 50whp G35. I am just trying to keep those with mullets away.

Todd and I were having a little discussion while driving 130mph. Why is it that music makes you wanna go faster? You know what I am talking fellas?

Sit back and enjoy the show!

From ^^^ to 140MPH in no time. I need to rip the radio out of my car.

I like it all. I'll play some break beats, trance, and then some hip hop. Got to go fast to all genres of music.

Todd is right.

I remember road tuning the car with Sam...me in the driver seat..Sam with his laptop. Anyways, the roads were still a little slick from rain, but the freeway was drying out. Knowing how Gman drives, I wanted to make sure the AF's were safe in 4th gear near redline. I still remember the look on Sam's face, when the tires COMPLETELY roasted at 110mph when we hit a slick spot. He was clutching his laptop for dear life!

I agree, sam is amazing and thorough. He tuned my car and helped fixed some issues after I had blown my engine due to another installer not following the instructions on the TN kit. And after I break in my new motor I'm going back to get a retune for power.
