I'm at 65k on my 06 (no oc at all, lucky me) and leakdown/compression are perfect. Looking at gtm twins in a year or so.

That's why I said 'very conservative'.

Yes, I asked Sam to tune it this way- the Zeitronix was already installed to give additional info.

yeah, i guess if i go the FI route, sounds like i'm going to GTM... does anyone know if their HKS's are street legal / carb/smog legal?

I don't know how some one you people can go that low ( low 10's into the 9's ) and not get misfires. I understand running a car conservatively but low 10/9's is just ridiculous and is only making lose power as it is NOT making it more reliable. Conservative for me is low 11's high 10's. I run mine in the mid to high 11's.

mazymus

so is the HKS system installed by GTM street legal in cali?

mazymus

also along the same lines, how often do you take your cars in for maintenance once you've got it FI?

How often does your car break down due to turbo/supercharge issues?

Any experience w/ GTM? I'm thinking of using those guys.

You think the 350 body style is getting old? I personally think it still looks cleaner/newer than many "new models" coming out. don't get me started on the new GTR body style....

If youy do it right and leave it alone then it'll be problem free. The problem is with people who don't do it right or always want more...like me...lol.

One of the best pieces of advice I have seen after reading this forum for a couple years was sticking with a stock block and reasonable FI levels. It just makes sense not to open up a block and fool with all the possibilities that can go wrong.

I would have FI'd my block at you mileage without a second thought.

GTM has a stellar reputation and is easily in the top 3 FI shops in the nation.

You think I can stay stock w stage 5 GTM supercharger?

Simple answer...............................ask Sam.

mazymus

Did. Said it depends. Also said stage 5 is not street legal, but stage 3 is.

At risk of being flamed, roughly, what are some 0-60 times w supercharger or turbo kits. I know people get 1/4 mile times, but I understand the 0-60 times better. Just wanted to get a rough estimate
Thanks

mazymus

btw, now that HKS SC been out for a while, any issues w/ reliability?

Also for those people in Cali, any issues w/ cops and the HKS SC? Was curious if they were ok w/ the carb legal sticker

mazymus
