Lazy Bika is lazy...

 

Well this sucks. Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make it. Extremely buisy at work today, probably gonna be stuck here later than normal. Was banking on getting to leave early but that doesn't look like its gonna happen. Oh well, it's not like I was gonna be able to dyno anyways.

 

I put down 212hp 198tq today

 

That turnout was the most pathetic I have ever seen from you guys. 5 ******* cars on the rollers... Weak sauce.

I am disappointed.

I did confirm my shitty exhaust is killing my numbers. I barely managed a personal best of 303/263 with the 3" pulley and unbolting my catback. Ears are still ringing. Sorry Gates and Chase

 

Drumrush, your car sounds great. the gmpp touring with the s/c whine is how I wish my stuff sounded.

 

my body is still shaking haha. its ok man i had a good time and all went well. hopefully what happened at sheetz didnt ruin your day for you man. chin up and thanks for putting the event together

 

I was very happy with my numbers. 321 whp/ 378 wtq. I would love to be at that 330 mark by the end of summer on 93

 

thanks man, i wish i actually could have heard how yours sounds haha

 

everyone dipped out we were the only troopers left who shut the place down lol

 

trust me... no you dont...

 

I was there for it but with the open downpipe it was just too much

 

Glad you enjoyed. You are around SRT4 with str8 pipes all the time, I find it hard to believe you aren't used to loud, open exhausts

Sheets was rough. Things worked out though. Saved my relationship, torched a "friendship" with the person ******* **** up between us. I hate drama.

I need a Gates Performance exhaust. I was thinking of a cutout in the downpipe, with a pipe and flange to convert to side exit when the cutout is open. Or just cut the dp flange and resonator and str8 pipe it, maybe bigger resonator.
Lets make it happen!

 

Couple pics of mine and Chase's Brobalts and his towing rig



The new (temporary) location of bigshot is janky as hell. Keith was telling me they are still planning on building a new facility on their old property in Munroe Falls/Tallmadge. So nobody knows how long they will be here. They are renting the storage garage for now. I liked the old place way more.

 

Well im glad you and the old lady got things squared away. its a shame you had to lose a friend in the process, hope its worth it in the end for ya man.

and you DEFINITELY need a Gates Performance exhaust. We dont do any sort of resonators around GP. its all straight pipe or nothing!

yeah we were all talking about how it was kinda dumpy but im sure they moved there for a reason and will get things figured out!

 

You and Chase should come up to Forced 4s this thursday.
I really like the idea of being able to switch exhaust setups quickly and go from quiet street, to *****-out. However, I have a feeling the side pipe would break off or bounce horribly without making a support bracket for it. Plus open downpipe no resonator is loud as fack.

Stupid s/c car...

 

i always have my son on thursday nights so no forced4s for me. haha true your car would be ridiculously loud with open pipe. I just put a new side exit exhaust on Chase's car and it sounds pretty sick

 

I see. I will still be rolling up to F4 with a couple of subie and vw guys tonight. Gotta go wash the whip before. Supid pollen got caked on when it sprinkled last night. I need a place with a garage.

Chase's car would sound sick no matter what you did to it :-p I need as many resonators as possible to keep the bees at bay.

 

Just run 2 mufflers inline with the exhaust lolol. And yes his car sounds nasty for sure. Great night for F4s enjoy it!

 

Sorry Bika, I would of been there if I was able, my car took a crap anyhow. It's making a very loud knocking noise on acceleration. It goes away while cruising and is not as prevalent in first gear. Dealership has no clue at the moment. Life sucks atm.

 

Hunter, I have a solution to your problems. Sell your car

Hope you didn't break something in the engine. Sounds like it's knocking under heavier load, which might be a tune issue.

 

The dealer thought it might b a tuning issue on Thurs. when I dropped it off. They said they were going to reflash the computer because they thought maybe the dp and fmic may have thrown it out of calibration. I told them I doubt it, but whatever. I haven't heard from them since, except when I called them Saturday to throw one of my theories at 'em. I said maybe a fueling issue, not getting enough fuel causing detonation. I doubt that too, but you never know. Wonder if it has a broken rocker arm?

 

Stranger things have been known to happen.

 

Spoke with dealer today, first time in 12 days. They said a GM engineer is going to look at it. :/

 

Seriously thinking about thinking about possibly going this direction!

 

Burned up an injector seal!
