This car came to us orginally for diagnostic work, Andrew was disappointed with the power the car was making. He was told the car made 550rwhp (so he ordered custom plates to match that ) After doing a baseline dyno the car did not even make 350rwhp. So Andrew said "If my liscense plate says 545rwhp I need to have ATLEAST that". With that said we set forward feed his hunger for more power!

The car is in the break in process, our first tuning sesssion we were able to accomplish 520rwhp at 11psi. We made the wrong spring choice on these actuators so we had a hard time building more than 11psi of boost.

The car is now making 622rwhp, with the Forge red springs, and the trans is holding up perfect.

Enjoy the Pictures!

Damn that Look's Friggin Sweet!!!!!!!!! Awesome Job There!

 

what a nice car.

 

WOW definitely one of the hottest 5AT finally i can see 6xx instead of 5xx numbers Good Job GTM !!

sorry guys totally forgot about Ron`s car, i don`t even know the final numbers for Ron !, but i knew it was the baddest 5AT at time.

 

i wouldnt say that


but its is nice....and beastly

 

I like the interior, nice work Sam.

why do you have pictures of two different piston sets for the motor?at first i thought it was before/after coating but the skirts are different.

 

Very impressive, I like the paddle shifters. How much of a delay is there from the time you pull it to the time it shifts? Would love to see a WOT video...

 

nice car and bad *** build! love the tripple gauges in the stock location!

That first dyno chart........i dont even want to think about who originally built the car.

one question. For those that seem to have a ton of cash for their cars, why do they settle for toyo t1-r's? I know its a popular tire, but i havent seen it fair well in recent tire comparisons. Seems like its the cheap tire to get, that handles marginally. Why not get something like kdw's or mich pilot sports 2' ?

 

OMG that baseline dyno is hideous! Amazing what a good tune can do. Nice job.

 

Yeah...I think he forgot about Ron in Florida. But this car is amazing. So in a matter of 10 days has GTM been the first to bring out a non modified single turbo 500 whp and AT 600 whp car??? Not sure but if so keep up the good work. If if they aren't keep up th te good work anyway.

+1, Ron's car comes to mind. What are the specs on the tranny cooler?

 

Sweet, looks great

 

FIXED...

Other than some repetitive pictures of parts, I LUV the pictures of the car and the videos....Excellent idea to use the 07 hood to get to fit the strut bar, cause i noticed its using the motordyne spacers.
The car is clean as hell(except for oil coolers locations, but to each their own)....and the blue led conversion is bad ***, bad *** numbers!

 

Looks great paddle shifter is a nice add on as well.

 

I was just about to ask why the 07 hood was on there. Does he currently have the 06 or 07 hood? NICE build by the way.

 

SWEET!!!!! Amazing job once again by GTM!!!

 

he had it off in the earlier pics and probably because the sturt bar was rubbing the 06 hood, noticed he has spacer and the strutbar has washers on...... so...the 07 hood probably fixed that

 

car looks sick.... i loooove the interior lighting...im jealous..
