Very nice and clean alberto! By the way why go with bc stage 3 instead of gtm stage 3 cams? What's the compression on the pistons in your current set up?

Personal preference, I didnt want GTM anything in my car/motor.

Arias 9:1

Lets see some times from Chris'smax then we'll see if we can make it happen!!

Awesome setup Alberto, can't wait to see what it can do at the ol' track.

BriGuyMax broke his ankle the other day at a lapping day on his bike so he won't be hitting 10s on pump gas in a normal street car this fall - so now it's up to you. Make it happen.

Well may have to try the KDW tires.....was 80 degrees here in chicago today. Put some 110 gas in and had the boost at 25psi (690rwhp), tires won't hold anything in 3rd gear, ugh......but 4th sure is fun (and quick)

I hold my highest boost setting in 3rd no worries when its warm out. You need better tires and/or alignment. I also have a 3.3FD...power means nothing if you cant put it to use.

I know I need an alignment right now....
This wasn't even the highest boost setting.....ack...still have 100rwhp sitting on the table.
I'm just enjoying the car as is till the snow comes.....today was out of the ordinary for this time of year.

Planning on 3.3diff, and prob some small cams to rev it out to 7K or 7200rpm next season...no reason to take the car down now.

Gonna hit the track wed too....see if she'll put up a 135mph as it sits (working on the driver mod)

Alberto what kind of meth kit are you using? Also besides having to raise the idle, is there any downside to upgrading to the stage 3 cams? After doing some research they seem like the best cams to use for some big power.

alkycontrol kit

3 people have this kit, jkeneficand eagletanggreen used to.

I like the cams, but the low end to beginning od midrange is less, from racing rpm's its good to go. Ive seen a BC2 car also with a Greddy kit make near identical power, I would just go that route, save $$$ on reflash. Stage 2 doesnt require valvetrain.

No, it doesnt. It idles smoother. For guys with standard kits like us, there is little difference bewteen the 2. Im sure with bigger turbos and more boost than we'll run there will be more gains. Ray @ PFS runs stock valvetrain on BC2's to over 8000rpm's, no issues.

What happened on your bike you lowside?

Hey Berto when I get back I am going up there and then we are going to spend a day raping cars at the dealerships (I need a New wip). I was going to jump into thr new GTR but finally had a chance to drive one....

Weak sauce! 1st and 2nd are sick, but in the real world it would get raped by guys like us (low bost of course). One other thing I hated was all the driving aids it has ...Lame. Nothing was better than driving 700hp TT Z's like ours with out the VDC on, so much rewarding.

I dont know any ideas...

Sweet, so BC2s, Haltech, and meth and i'll be ready to put down 600 to the wheels.

As for the bike, the track I was at needs to repave turn one and the only good pavement is on the extreme inside of the turn right by the red and white rumble strip. So I was turning in tight and putting my knee on the rumble strip all day. Well I guess I turned in too tight and instead of my knee hitting the rumble strip my foot peg did...so I went into a nice lowside. Everything would have been great but the guy right behind me ran over my ankle with his front tire. The rest is history.

As far as the Haltech, meth, and cams, 600whp EASY, but you know that

Sucks to hear about it, but it could have been worse.
