Default 1200+rwhp with Pump+Meth...

This was through a 9" rearend in a 6-speed Gen 5 Camaro with a HKE LSX shortblock, MAST 305 heads, PatG cam from previous D1SC blower combo, American Racing Shorty Headers, SNL Performance custom fabricated twin 6766 dual ball bearing turbo kit and calibrated by Karger.

20psi SAE

20psi STD

Turned it up, but the 305 street tires weren't keeping up on the dyno...

25psi SAE

25psi STD

Customer only wanted to make 1000rwhp, so I say we exceeded that:smash:

It is having an injector pulse issue that James and HPTuners is working on. The car runs and drives fine until this issue pops up.

Obviously the setup makes great power and it'll be handled soon.

I was going to delete this thread per the customers request, but since he took it upon himself to post that I won't. Having text conversations until 9 pm on a Saturday to ease a customers mind is one thing, dealing with that situation when he's texting while he's drunk is another. Then he posts while he's drunk/pissed. Now I have to get on a forum to deal with this? All it does it take time away from dealing with the actual situation at hand. Not to mention other customers cars.

We'll update this as things progress - just in case any naysayers want to jump on the b.s. band wagon.

This car is on pump 93.

We've made over 1300 rwhp with the journal bearing versions and a 4L80 and E85- the Comp variations have made 1444 rwhp std here. That car was a 4L80 in a CTSV that weighs ~4500 lbs and trapped 155 in the quarter last week.

This car has a RXT in it, on the street the pedal gets soft on high boost, but, the customer won't be running that boost all the time so it should live.

Best of luck getting it sorted out. Either way for a road race/street car I think you are not going to be happy with powerband for your application.

What exactly is the problem? I just switched a buddy's F1X car over to 2000s, and have done a good number of others both old and new with them. It might be something simple.

At least Jim didn't threaten to kill you and your family like he has done in the past with another DFW shop owner.
