Do you want me to video the program with my camera and then add it or is there a way to send it from the DVR straight to Youtube?

Its working great, very happy with it so far, I only have about 4K miles on it, but on power tour it performed flawlessly. I really like the shift feel, and the comfort that it should be good for a log time.. big fan of your trans!

Hey i have a question about the control arms you bought off of ebay.. I purchased the same ones and i was wondering which setting you used... I know farther back creates more camber so ive heard... I was just wanting to know which setting you ran with? And will this farther back setting wear tires faster?

Thanks for this picture on your Walbro. I just got mine and am having trouble getting the old one off without breaking off the inlet filter at the bottom. Any pointers?

Also, My electrical connector wont plug into the new pump. Did you replace your connector?

Thanks!

Okay I got the old pump off. Did you just run your new pump without the inlet filter?

I know its been a while but here is a short clip with your car cruising at Milford. Sorry for the delay I actually forgot all about it. If you want more of the Power Tour let me know. I think its about an hour long so I dont know if it will all fit on YouTube.

I do have a question for you if you dont mind me asking. Where did you get your steam line on the front? After looking at yours it seems I need a passenger side exit. I used the LS3 steam line but it exits out the drivers side and the hose I have running from it to the fitting on top of the water pump is real close to the pulley. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I ran with a sock, just like stock
I got the best price, eaton reliability, and It was a bolt on kit for a 04 gto (that the other guys dont offer) and the power number would be similar for all of them without going crazy on my engine (and the more effectove bypass redusing parasitic drag when not on boost, which is why GM puts tvs style on the LS9 and LSA engines) so it was really the hood clearance and fuel economy not on boost that sold me on the Maggie

your the man!!! AWESOME!! thx so much!
the steam lin comes with the maggie kit, it uses ls6 style plugs inthe rear and a custom one up front to clear the s/c

yea, I've been really busy lately and havent been on much (last week I rode across michigan from lake huron to lake michigan on my yz250.. all on trails, 500 miles in 4 days) so life as usual! lol


I've been having problems with belt slip/ walking off 2 or 3 ribs and found my maggie supplied tensioner was bent! they offer a HD one so that arrived yesterday, haven't gotten it installed yet. I did finally get the motor mounts replaced with the energy suspension ones, what a diffrence to have the engine actually connected to the chassis again. I am about to pull the trigger on a vintage air set-up so that will get my thread going again...

You can see how the autozone mounts just ripped apart.. .


no good


Energy mounts going in, it was a 3 hour job, had to unbolt the mounts, lifted the engine about 2 inches and then lowered it back on, it wasn't as bad as i was expecting to be honest. Now its time to put on the HD tensioner and get back to making full boost!

look how flat that torque curve is... ohh baby!

So if i order the magnacharger should I go ahead and order the heavy duty belt tensioner to??
