Awesome results Scott congrats! You forgot to add stock headers as well.

This is a fantastic bang-for-your buck package without the hassle of meth/nitrous particularly from a long term reliability perspective (as long as you stay away from the drag strip with sticky rubber).

Just drive the car and forget about everything else except having a blast.

 

Awesome numbers...oh just one typo "modding the car is not quite over...yet"

And you figured it was fast before !!

Enjoy in good safe health !

 

Lol

No I'm done with performance mods. I don't want to go higher on power

 

No it's got stock headers in the post LOL. This is about as much power as I want as I'm sufficiently under the PDK limit that I feel OK.

Once I get it back I'll certainly drive it and report in on drivability and reliability. It will be participating in the fuel run rally from LA to Vegas in February.

 

Congrats! Enjoy it safely Scott!

 

Thanks Sam. Looking forward to getting it back and reporting in as to how it drives.

 

Oh my badd missed it. Hope to join you for the Fuel Run in February. Will be fun to have two cars with the exact same mods and tune. When does that ever happen?!?!

 

Not often. Champion spent a great deal of time datalogging my car and sending the logs to GIAC to perfect the tune. Maybe there are things in the tune that would work well on your car.

There will be an exotic car drag race at Las Vegas motor speedway on Fuel Run. Cannot wait to crush the exotics!!

 

Nice
What was your numbers before the new mods? Any Dyno graphs before vs after ?

 

Champion dynoed the car on pump gas when we added the intercoolers and Catless exhaust and GIAC Stage 2+. It was 566 wheel HP. I posted that Dyno graph on my thread about that stage of mods at the time (fall 2015). As soon as I get Dyno graphs from Champion for the turbo upgrade I will post them here.

Champion could not Dyno my car when it arrived for this set of mods because it's Dyno was broken and just got fixed last week.

 

Great numbers! I am going to get my car back to Champion to do the same data logging and Dyno test. When my car was turbo upgraded their dyno was down .

 

Thanks. My car for whatever reason has always been on the lower end of the bell curve of power output for its stage of mods. Every car differs a little bit from the factory (my Renntech E63 S AMG sedan by contrast has always been an over performer and factory freak). I bet yours could produce 10 wheel hp more. The normal range for wheel horsepower for the state of Champion/GIAC mods with pump gas is 610 to 620. I'm at 610.

Yes Champion's Dyno was down when my car came in for its turbo upgrade. Thankfully it is now up. And thankfully I have a before Dyno from when it last left champion in the fall of 2015 with stage 2+ intercoolers and catless exhaust which I can use as my before Dyno.

 

Time for some fire.

 

Congrats Scott your really gonna be happy, car is gonna be a beast, what were your stage 2.5 HP numbers? Enjoy your ride and what is this fuel run I'm hearing about?

 

Thank!

Stage 2+ wheel HP number was 566 on 93 octane. I posted the Dyno graph here at the time.

Fuel run is a two day rally from Los Angeles to Las Vegas run by the people who run goldrush rally and is between February 24 and the 26.

Starts off with a dinner on the 24th and a midnight run to fromVegas on the 24th and then exotic car dragracing all day at Las Vegas motor Speedway on the 25th followed by a night club party on the 25th. On the 26th a bunch of us will rally back to LA. If you're interested send me a PM and I'll shoot you a link. Longboarder is probably going. As you know rallying is my first love.
