Default New setup

Recently I had the Vortech T-trim tuned on my car only to have the belt shread due to a jackshaft failure. While in the misted of replacing the jackshaft I got an offer for a greddy tt kit that I couldnt refuse, esp since my end goal in the future was to go tt. Here are a few pics of the new setup.

Thumbs up

I can vouch for how clean this car and setup is. You can eat off of the engine bay. This car is done right with no corners cut. I'm sure you'll love the twins Jon but your T-trim vortech was sick and made awesome power as well. let me know how friday goes.

Well got tuned yesterday @ functioned. I was a little dissapointed with the numbers at first that it put down but then driving it the first time that all went away ha. Crazy how much fast it feels now than the T-trim setup even though its making less power ha. Final numbers yesterday were 352whp/351wtq on daves dyno at 8.8psi. He said my kinetix test pipes and injen ses exhaust were the culprit for me not being able to make 390ish like I was hoping for. At any rate though, the car is a hell of a lot more fun now, so I can wait a little until I decide to get a larger exhaust.

You have to remember that Daves dyno reads a whole lot lower the just about all the other ones out there.Mine only made 351rwhp but 396rwt on his dyno but im an 5at auto so that might make a little difference.
Take it to a dynojet and you will see higher numbers but numbers are for bench racing anyway or sig's.
