I know that. Tell randy lol.

 

So what's the news??

 

 

I have 997 gt2 gears, erp clutch w/ steel flywheel. I have paperboard and

lightweight carpet, no sound deadening. It soundslike the Texas Chainsaw

Massacre.........is there something wrong with my trans?

Now I'm worried

 

So I flew in Errol McCollum from TPS. He had 2 1/2 days with the car.

We made 700 hp on pump by accident

He had the car drivable on pump but the boost was outa control.

I'm driving the car, gently on pump, to West Palm, Monday. He's gonna take

a week and tune the car. Corey, I don't have to tell you how maddening and

expensive this tuning process is.

Up to this point I've only had cars that run off the factory dme........ cake

walk.


I'm a little frustrated because I wanted to go with external wastegates and

I got talked into leaving the internals intact. I knew it would overwhelm

them!

 

Yikes. I feel your pain buddy. It will work it self out. I thought your putting E85 in no?

 

Yes, we're doing e85 but he tunes on pump first then e85.

And thank you for the words of encouragement. I have a lot of confidence

in Errols ability to tune the car. He took it from a spitting sputtering mess

to very drivable and making making 50 more hp on pump then I was making

at peak on race fuel last build. That was with less than 10 hours tuning from

scratch.

I'll drive the car down there on pump but i'll be driving back on corn


We think we have a 9 second car that'll do the 60-130 in low 4s. Not looking

for records anymore just a very fast car that's truly a DD. I just gotta do

something about that cabin noise lol!


I'm really looking forward to seeing the results of your car, Powell and

Tim. We should all have our head examined using our check book to

pioneer this stuff on a decade old platform

 

I gotta go to an AA meeting and finish up some work and I have a ton of pics to post.

I'm not going to post the pic of me sobbing like a prepubescent girl at a Justin Bieber

concert...........you know that pic, the one where you find out whats involved with

tuning an aftermarket engine management.

 

Progress is good. And I will say so far so good. Hang in there.

 

Randy why on earth would you leave the crappy internal waste gates on a build like yours?

Who talked you into that?

 

Anticipation is killing me!

 

LOL I plead the fifth.


But I must say, it's my car and the final decision was mine. Man, I knew

better. Sure there are several cars in the 900 hp range with 3076s running

the Tial internals but this is a smaller wheel and maxed out power. It's

apples and oranges. I knew better!


Live and learn. We're gonna close them off and add some proper Tial 44mm's

Gotta install some buttons for traction control, anti lag and 2 stage launch.

Then it's dyno -tune-drive repeat, until it's right. We're expecting a week.

 

*corrected*

 

Two can play at that game.

 

lololololol

pick up the phone and call me snob


Howz the car?
