Thanks Booger! I really am happy with the set-up. I think Scott mentioned this coming from a show car owned by a female. I'm guessin Cat?
T-Trim one of these days.

 

I have a T-trim for sale !!!! I'll give you a great deal on it !!!!!!!

 

I know you do. I want it. Just can't do it. It's going to be too long before my car is ready to handle the T-Trim.

 

I don't think he was serious about that one, was he?

 

Nope.

 

Kinda wasn't serious about any of them. Well, except the Butt Dyno.

 

nice setup, but u might want to think about changing the pulley to a smaller one to compensate for the HUGE pipping and intercooler or switch out the intercooling. I'm sure u dont feel anything until 3.5-4K rpm.

 

I can feel it in the lowers, but the 4K mark really hits.

I've got a lot of work ahead of me.

As far as future plans:
1. Cooling mods starting to part together: (Tranny, Oil, Rad, Fans, Thermostat) Vegas heat is going to kill my car. Took the front bumper off tonight to see if I can gauge some idea of where things will go and see how much room I really have.
2. Breathing mods after school finishes: (Headers, TP/HFC, Plenum) and putting the 3.12" on. Retune and Reflash.
3. Drivetrain after I find more work/ relocate: Valve Body and 3.9FD.
4. Cosmetics
5. Engine Build? When I become a trophy husband Or VQ goes Pop.

Suspension most likely between 1 and 2. Audio at some point.

Unfortunately, I have to figure out what to do with my life after school before I move on to adding more power. Luckily, I've got a good group in Vegas to help me along the way and Relentless knows how to cater to my wants. I think my car is in a good shape and will remain in good shape for quite a bit.

 

scoot and relentless seem to be doing some great work.....keep it up and enjoy the car!

 

Scoot, huh ?? I am sure Scoot appreciates the kind words. Hahaha

You mean like this......... Hahaha.

 

anymore info on that blown up Vortech? i want to add it to my personal knowledge of blown motors

 

did a vortech blow an engine? What are the details?

 

This was all last year, but..........

That particular Vortech has blown two stock motors in the car (Kats old car) before I got it here. I installed its (third) stock motor, re-did some things, re tuned it and it ran just fine on 91 oct. pump gas with the 2.87 pulley.
Then, In our quest/ experimentation for big power with a stock motor and the Vortech, we had JWT make a one-off very agressive cam for it, put a (custom) 2.325 pulley and custom belt system on it and were getting ready to tune it on race fuel. The very night before it was to be tuned, it was on its way to the gas station to get filled with C-16 when it detinated and shot the rod #3 out the bottom of it. too bad, I would have loved to have seen the numbers that it should have made (or at least the numbers that Clark & Jim (at JWT) and Mark and I thought it should, but oh well. Thats how experiments go sometimes, thats how you learn (but we were so close).

That SC has now been converted into a (almost) basic tuner kit with the exception of the 1/2" larger diameter tubing and the larger FMIC. It is now being controlled with a JWT FMU, JWT SS box (from a TT kit), walbro fuel pump, and 440 RC injectors. istan is now the owner of it and when he feels comfortable with upgrading it we will do so at his pace (there is plenty more room for growth there, I already know it )
