Default I got my car retuned by Jeremy

Well, the broken cog belt for the Vortech pulley finally came in yesterday, so I was finally able to get it to Jeremy (at PerformanceFactory.com) to get the car running again. I had him install the 3.12 pulley in place of the standard 3.33 pulley for a couple more pounds of boost. He also retuned the UTEC so it is buttery smooth. Jeremy got a reading of 382 whp. All I can say is this is FUN!!! It really comes alive around 4000 rpm. I need to start saving for another set of rear tires because I have a feeling these aren't going to keep tread long.

Attached is a printout of all 3 max dyno runs. The bottom line is my original base line that was done on the dyno day of January 7, 2007. I got a best of 235 whp.

The middle line is with the Vortech 3.33 pulley for 347.98.

The top line is with the 3.12 pulley for 382.13 whp. I like the 3.12 pulley because the power curve moves farther down in the RPM range.

For you guys that do a Vortech kit (Jeremy has great pricing right now) just start off with the 3.12 pulley. You won't be disappointed. And if you get a used kit, start with all new belts.

This is the most fun my car has been.

KarumaZ bumper and Greddy side skirts coming next week.

^ Awesome Sean. You're building an awesome complete car. Nice numbers and very sweet looking, linear powerband. I bet you can't wait to do the twisties on Tail of the Dragon.

Yea, I know what you mean... I have been going through withdrawal for the last couple of days.
Rims look good man, good to see she has the new footing on for the rain.

Dang, is the 'Cars for the Cure' this weekend? Rats, I was hoping that was in a couple of weeks so I could join you guys with my 'other' car. dangit.

Hey, are people planning on going to the 'Funkmaster Flex' and/or 'Spring Break Nationals' @ Daytona this year? I am looking into getting a room for the 2 weekends. I had a great time hanging with you guys last year. Lets do it again..!!!

Brent, we're planning on going to both shows in a big way (I hope). Hope you can join us. I think we may plan an overnight stay for SBN weekend.

Well, I know I won't be able to 'hang' with you guys in show points, but I know it will be a great time for everyone that shows.
