And still yet better times in the near future without a rev limiter! 
First APS TT system in the 9's!
His car is an auto.
yeah im next....hopefully
.
Fired it up yesterday and it ran for about 30sec than some issues popped up so we shut it down...nothing major though.
Any of you guys have trouble with the passengerside Turbo Banjo fitting not sealing?? mine was leaking coolant and we tightened it up but after we got it running it started leaking again.

I had to recheck them a couple of times. You have the copper washers in the fitting, right? They are just like brake fittings. But don't overtorque them or you will damage the washer and it still won't seal. If you still have the issue, I would try to source some replacement washers. Did you include those spacers on the pass side banjo fitting? That was one item I actually forgot so I wonder if those made a difference in sealing that connection. My coolant line would have fit a little better with the spacer in there, but still worked without it.

Hmm too bad you are upgrading the turbos ,did want to see what the little ones would do at a higher level. They might start choking out and maybe they would still do 15 or 18psi and yield 800 or so rwhp on the auto. Be curious to see what the spool differences will be between these and the bigger ones. Still betting it will be at least 500 higher possibly 1000 higher.
Again the poiint is well taken how fast does a guy really need to go and 12.5 is a nice low boost, should be easy on head gaskets too. I guess I might have to be the guy to try the aps standard snails at higher boost. Since I have a 408 and its forged a bit more boost should be no big deal. And Peter should have those new intakes out soon for us standard turbo guys???

Next time out. Memphis will be fun!

Very nicely done my friend, I have been watching your progress for some time now and I can defiantly say that I am very excited for you. I know that all the money and hard work we dump into these machines sometimes just doesn’t look like we are getting what we wanted out of it. But for those moments we do finally get to taste victory and satisfaction in what we have done, then wow what fun it is and I hope you continue to enjoy the car the way it is right now. It is nice to get as much enjoyment out of this victory as possible before pursuing the next level and all the bridges one must cross before getting there to that point. I myself can only hope to get half the success out of my APS setup. Congratulations once more on a job well done and earned.
I DONT THINK THEY DO THAT ANYMORE
A camaro (Yes it had a LS1) I ordered the STAGE 2 KIT LAST NIGHT!!! My car wont be ready till summer of 2009.
I plan on having a 427 in it.
What suspension parts you running ? You have a cage, subframe connectors ?
Congrats on the run by the way !!!
ANYONE know how much HP these cars can take befor you need a cage ?

as for the gear part I am running 1/10 slower in the 1/8th mile than JM with 4 pounds less boost (8.5PSI) and a 3.50 gear with a 28" tire. My car is full weight ++ I have not removed 1 single thing to make it lighter. I think that if you read back you will also see that he thinks he already has enough back pressure at 12.5 pounds of boost.
I had the same thing happen after I got mine fired up. Had a few coolant drips from both sides. Those were a bitch to tighten once in the car. I had to recheck them a couple of times. You have the copper washers in the fitting, right? They are just like brake fittings. But don't overtorque them or you will damage the washer and it still won't seal. If you still have the issue, I would try to source some replacement washers. Did you include those spacers on the pass side banjo fitting? That was one item I actually forgot so I wonder if those made a difference in sealing that connection. My coolant line would have fit a little better with the spacer in there, but still worked without it.

I remember one of you guys had the same issue, just couldnt remember who...lol. yeah, i remembered the copper washers....torqued it down pretty good. i dont want to over torque it though so i may end up having to removed them and use something differant if we cant get it sealed. atleast its the passenger side and not the drivers...seems theres a little more room to work with....still a pain in the ***** though. Thanx...ill have some vids of it running soon.
sorry for the small hi-jack JM....

. I do not think I will even come close to your time untill I turn the boost up.
our setups are pretty damn close.

Yeah you're right Rob Z. Tommy from Anger Management Racing got a Corvette into the 9's with the APS system on a STOCK bottom end. Here's a link to it!
