How's the progress??

 

The replacement jack point finally arrived from Germany this week, and I should have it installed next Tuesday, after which the mods will continue on pace. With some luck I'll have exhaust dyno by end of next week, and then the modified turbos + headers dyno a couple weeks after.

 

Happy New Year guys......

Ben, whats the update....is she ready for a track day run???

 

The jack mount point is finally installed, and Sharky's going to install the exhaust on Weds or Thurs if all goes to plan. After that... dyno + SPL measurements, Protomotive turbo + EMS headers install, REdyno, and then... track day!

 

congrats & good luck with the mods.

 

i keep waiting to run into you @ said gas station - no one interesting ever gets race gas when i'm getting it

can you say what is being done to the turbos? and what the expected power difference will be?

The turbos are getting Todd's special treatment; he said something about machining housings or some other technical mumbo-jumbo which I didn't follow. Then he said "560-580 AWHP" and showed me the dyno graph, and told me how little it cost, and I asked him whether I should use FedEX or UPS

So net net - +60-70 WHP, no change in lag, and cheap. Drop Todd a line and I'm sure he'll explain.

 

Damm sick, cant wait to see the end results!!!

 

You HAVE to add..... "- in Mexico" at the end of that statement!!!

 

Haha, i plan to check out "Mexico" once i get to Vegas

 

Hah. There's a curiously high concentration of US highway signs in Mexico these days... or so I hear

 

Ben doesnt roll like that. He never brought the yellow viper out to mexico.

 

There also seem to be a curiously high concentration of California Highway Patrol units in Mexico. Perhaps that's why...

 

Maybe you were never invited to the "Treynor meets" that RedC5 used to organize Besides, one domestic Vette is enough for one night's sillyness.... He wanted all the glory to himself. How else was he going "to NAWZ".

I remember the good old days of Krispy Kreme, Z0Sik and his Viper, those horrid Supras

 

The pix don't do the car justice. With those wheels and that color and finish it's a couple of steps up from "hot". And they're light too
