"Pineapple Express" - Build Thread
How is the clutch doing? I will be going with an ERP Tripple disk this spring. Not sure if I should do the GT2 conversion or not though.
Again your current setup is damn impressive with the parts it has. Can't wait to see it at Slipstream. I might send my K24s for the 20g conversion since they seem to make all the power I would need for now.

So I've been driving every chance I get, I even drove into work today slipping and sliding...ProEFI traction works!
Its too early to say, but I'm getting better and better at modulating the throttle to get it going without the jerkiness. As for the GT2 conversion, I think everyone should do it....you're more than welcome to come check it out if you're local

That is a Saturday so that works for me. Is there a sign up sheet for the dyno day or is it who ever comes out type of deal? How many runs and how much? It would be a good time to get a baseline.

So it looks like to be in the "competition" for the payout you must be in a BMW...but other than that the dyno day is open to anyone

I used to enjoy going to dyno days locally when the Camaro club held them at a friend's shop. I'd go last... in my Supra. Most of those guys had no clue and would sneer and make snide remarks as it was strapped down. They usually shut up shortly afterwards. I made nearly 600whp on pump and back then that wasn't something you saw too often. Good times! I'll be interested when they post up the BMW numbers, some of those guys are making some pretty sick power these days. Wish I could make it up even if it was just to watch and talk to Garth

So apparently there was an update to the ERP/RPS clutch, Garth swapped it out and now engagement much much more manageable. I can get rolling with zero throttle input
Anyone local, I'll have the car out Sunday 3/22 at a little meet & cruise we're putting together. I'd be happy to take anyone for a spin - https://www.facebook.com/events/914664668586481/

Just a quick update, I've put about 3,000 miles on the car since the build and it has not let me down. The M3 is in the garage and I take the 996 to work every single day, even used it to win some business by taking a client out for a spin yesterday
Very happy with the end result, I couldn't be happier!
Even got featured on the new UC website(http://www.undercoverperformancenj.com), I'm now semi-famous...where's my Comedy Central roast?
