after one day of "attempted" street tuning for 30 or so miles i have realized this is definitely not the setup to learn hp tuners on. i have way too much time and money invested in this to risk it on learing

i will be trailering it to gainesville on fri to have Jeremy Formato tune the car. i cant wait. numbers will be up them

as for what its worth the alt belt is still on after 30 miles...

the hydraulic shop makes custom lines so they made them outta what ever power steering lines are made of i guess

once you get your baseline tune setup its easy for you to do some little upkeep when ever you feel the need for more boost

had a pretty successful trip to gainesville

final numbers were as follows
542 HP
555 Ftlbs
this was at an air fuel of about 11.2 on my wideband, about 11.5 on the dyno's. running 9#'s of boost and 17 degrees of total timing


car feels amazing and sounds awesome. ill probably leave it as is for a little and make sure mechanically everything is doing what it is supposed to then through another lb or two at it

ill post the graph when i get back into tallahassee

Congrats man, those are some good numbers to start out with. You think theres more in the tune, or is it pretty spot on?

lol! Good to know. Love the way your relocation came out, looks like it could be factory and doesn't sit too high.

Nice build man

minor update.

made it to the track friday night for the first time. i dont have a trailer so i have to drive my car just under 100 miles to the closest track. due to some "lack of tech" issues at South Georgia Motorsports Park i only got one good run in.

60' 2.040
1/8 ET 7.608
1/8 MPH 101.80
1/4 ET 11.445
1/4 MPH 129.49

this was 100% complete street trim. drove the car up there. took the tool box out. and ran. didnt even change my tire pressure. bad news is i was in the staging lanes so long the battery in my laptop died and i couldnt log the run so i have to go to the woods tomorrow or something to get good 1/4 mile logs in.

overall im happy. this was meant to be a test to make sure the car could do what i wanted to do. drive it where ever, race it where ever, and drive home. I thought i was gonna do somewhere around 11.2 at 130 in street trim so i was pretty damn close. I think mid-high tens at 130-131 with slicks and low tens at 133ish with a 2-step are obtainable. next trip will be a little lighter and on slicks

speaking of two steps: lpe or msd? msd looks easier to install...

couple pics
