[mobster voice]So what...you gotta problem with dat[\mobster voice]

Representing 1985 here

FAST06SS

Thats when i graduated!!

ENUFPWR

Damn, I'm also feeling old here...lol I'm 31

But Rob(Fast06SS) has a good point on the exhaust.


I'm runing a 2.8 pulley and I have ZERO exhaust mods.... just a CAI. With the colder air at night (30-40degrees here in MI) my PEAK boost numbers are 19-20lbs but average 18-19lbs on a daily basis. Jason(Maxboost) has driven/and rode along in my car so he can assure you I'm hitting 19-20 at peak but 18 on average. So like Rob stated... I must have some exhaust restrictions. I don't go by peak boost levels anyway. I'm mainly concerened about the A/F ratio and how the car is driving.

Ya, when Jason gets his kit we can go to a dyno and then to Milan to check out the differences. That should be fun
We practically live like 2 miles away from each other. Jason.... when the weather gets warmer and more people start crusing around, we can hit Gratiot and video a run against some cars with this kit.

Looks Like I might have to do an exhaust soon. Either way I think the kit has proven to me it's well worth the money.

I apollogize and that is a really good site with lots of info. You were right, i am new to FI engines and exactly how they work...that's part of the reason why i joined this forum...to educate myself. Thank you for the info, i didn't want to cause an argument. But yes, i was born in 1987...i'm just a youngin!

Hey I'll be in flint (idk how far that is from you) but I'd be more than willing to come down and cruise...also the flint street races are nuts.

I think Flint is about an hour or hour and a half away.

Heck yea Daren, I'm down to cruise. We'll have to get some of the other local guys involved too. I hope you can make it out to the big meet in May.

Nocturn

Nice kill, but it was an auto, and they are a bit slower than the 6 speeds.

Hey no problem man. Those engines mod very similar to ours, and they've been around since 1997. Most of the ideas that worked on those cars will usually work on here too. We can run more boost from the factory because we're intercooled. Take care.

Oh, didn't mean to offend anyone about the age, I was just trying to show everyone that Rob has been doing this as long as some have been alive.

red_wing_2121

I didn't know there were any stock SRT-4's left!

WJW

Nice race man

Being that you edged out an LS2 GTO, you should be in the low 13's, maybe even high 12's with a perfect launch.
Thats about what automatic LS2 GTo's run, the 6-speed manuals are a few tenths faster.

Congrats on the win, take your car to the track and get some timeslips!!

djt81185

He just got his income tax check...not stock for much longer

ENUFPWR

Around here in MI??? LOL if your lucky to see one stock.

I did see a SRT4 Stage 3 on the Highway a few days ago. The car was blue with Stage 3plastered on the doors in white. Had a whole bunch of guages on the pillar and looked cool. The michigan license plate was "FRANI". Looked good, and wanted to run him, but he got off the exit. Not sure if that's someone here on the board.

ENUFPWR

Thanks.... that's the plan. Stage 3 Clutch is going in this weekend and the tracks open next month. So hopefully I can get in on a test and tune night and get some slips soon.
Car feels like a 12, but in reality...it will take alot more to break the 12's. It think like you said it's a mid 13 sec car. Launcing this car is hard. I'm use to RWD cars and the FWD thing is getting to me. Hopefully with the dampner and other mounts I can get rid of the wheel hop and get a decent time at the track.

djt81185

You think If i came down bringing beer money and pizza we could maybe slide a clutch in my car in a weekend? Maybe even springs too?

Dan

max_boost

I'll bet that is a big negative since he is taking his car into a shop to get it done.

djt81185

booo dammit lol

ENUFPWR

Dan, I would love to help you out if I had a hoist. Unfortunatly you need a hosit to drop the subframe on these cars to get at the clutch. I'm taking my car to a friends shop to have it done. I thought about doing it myself in my garage at first, but after talking to Rob about it I realized a hoist would be required.

Nocturn

Aye, the problem with FWD is that its usually so hard to launch high powered cars that despite having more power RWD cars will run faster times because of their suspension/RWDness.

djt81185

I think G cham has one and if not ill take my car in the for tranny noise tsb and have them put it in while they are in there. Thanks though!

when can I meet you guys... you live within 15 minutes from me... jesus..

max_boost

I already met you. Although I didn't know it was you. lol.

3fo893013L

bastard! yah, had to leave.. wish we would have gotten there sooner but instead of taking 94 which would have been sooooo much quicker we went thru three states MI, OH, IN to get to IL. On top of that Jason was late urk but it was fun

SilverSS/SC

Hey nice kill Daren . Should put your SS trapping in the 106-107 area if you were hangin with the guy . There were about 4 2005 LS2 GTO's at the track a couple weeks ago and I dont recal any of them going below 106 all day .

Even a muffler alone would help you out on the exhaust side . I went from 98-99 traps to consistent 102 mph with just adding a muffler with the stock exhaust .

The reactions of hangin with or beating V8 cars in this car is priceless

NJHK

Good kill

Jmc007

Good thread too.
