Well I just got back from SGP and I had a great time wonderfull first impression these guys really injoy what they do. So I got there and they went to work right away, installed the injectors and put her on the dyno. I was hopping for some higher numbers but I am still very satisfide with what I got



438hp 485lbft 11psi.
here is a vid clip of the dyno.

The problem we ran into was while Mark was tuning the car up to 14psi boost would spike at 6000rpms 3psi. the boost would not level off all the way through. It would be at 14psi all the way tell the car got to about 6000rpms and it would jump to 17psi in less then 80rpms, thought it might be a boost controler issue but now thinking it might be one of the wastgates I did do my own actuator spring install so I might have to play with the addjustment shaft to get them to open just right I am thinking one of them is not opening up all the way or not as much as it should. Mark felt the car was not safe tuning it for anything more then 12psi due to the boost spike so he did a real good conservitive tune at around 11psi. But look at all that tourqe I am still very happy with my new power and injoyed my time at the shop and cant wait to be back at SGP and try again for that 550+hp I am going for. Mark beleves the turbos can hold all the way to 20psi without a problem. Next time I come in we are thinking about tuning with race gas to fix some more of the spiking issue. Cant wait to fix my actuator delema and be back on the dyno.
Stay tuned to this thread I will be going to the track tonight and see what it does on street tires this time hopping to get into the 11's I will post a vid on this thread tonight.

Wish me luck.

Dude.. Your motor is begging for more exhaust flow. Remove those silencers!

Nice, the midrange power looks good. Didnt you have your car tuned to 475whp before by AAM or am I thinking of somebody else?

lol dont worry we did before the tune and they are never going back on again.

priscilla ls1

iTrader: (15)

If you read back it was 375hp

Alberto

iTrader: (14)

Ahhh ok...You should do the APS 3.5" test-pipes, better actuators and retune

I want to go ahead and keep the TP's I have, Mark believes the car has plenty of flow. I cant get better actuators only thing I can do is mess with the actuator shaft. I am hoping it is not an entire actuator problem because I would not like to replace the hole thing. I will start this weekend and try pulling on the shaft to see if they are opening at all.

Went to the track and did not do so good Very bad launch I was everywhere. I just cound not get any traction I need some DR's as soon as possible. My best was a 12.5 at 110 mph Here are the slips for study. My best 60ft was a 2.2.
I have a vid I will post later tonight.





Also about the 14psi to 17psi boost spike issue It seems the addjustment shaft is not right I counted like 11 threads on the passanger side and 5 on the diriver side but here is my question to you should I loosen the addjustment on the driver side to make it even with the passanger side or tighten the passanger side to make it even with the driver side? Any comments on this will help.

Looks damn nice!!!

^ thanks^

I loosend the driver side actuator shaft and tightened the passanger side one thread so now they are both equal 10 threads each. Is this right? Does anyone out there know what I am talking about?

Here is the vid of me at the track, as you can see my traction was an issue from the line.

Your 1/8 trap is better than your 1/4 trap, are you having a hard time with the 3-4 or especially the 4-5 shift? I was trapping 88-90mph in the 1/8 (your 91mph) and I was going 114-116mph with a TN kit and less than 400whp.

Nice vids!! Where do you track at? I like that track. The one here in temple scares me because of all the accidents and sliding into rails......

You def need a set of track rims.. What do those weigh if you dont mind me asking?

San antonio raceway,

Alberto you think I might have a problem with shifting.

priscilla ls1

iTrader: (15)

Here is 2 more races the last 2 I lost. I need a good track tire setup for the front and back that are cheap anyone have any ideas on this. Also there is a kit that prevents wheel hop but I forget what it is called like a bushings or somthing.

Alberto

iTrader: (14)

I dunno you tell me? Like I said with an 1/8 trap like that Id expect 116-117mph in the 1/4...with 438whp you should be 120mph easy.

priscilla ls1

iTrader: (15)

Even with a 2.2 60 ft. I used to trap around 116mph but now with more power I cant keep it on the ground. Like you sayed I think it is my 4-5 shift because when I am finley get a good grip I am not sure if I should shift to 5th of keep it in 4th at the end there I am like in the middle. Here is my last to runs.

If you can trap "good" in the 1/8 why not the 1/4? Gotta be the 4-5 shift, as it screws up most people. The 2.2 60ft def is not anything to brag about but isnt that bad Ive seen FI Z's pull MUCH worse. I would trap the same with anywhere from a 1.7-2.0 60ft. Buy some drag radials and call it a day.

priscilla ls1

iTrader: (15)

I am not braging I ment that a 2.2 sucks and if that could be my reason for not trapping as high as I used to. I want to get drags but what do I get for the front?

Alberto

iTrader: (14)

I know you werent bragging man...

For the front just run your aftermarket wheels. I have tried running with slicks in the back and my stock Rays 18" wheels up front and slicks + 19" combo, and I ran the same mph and et's both times, so even though the stock was lighter with these power levels it wasnt a huge deal.
