Default Rapid Motorsports is awesome!!!

Mikey at Rapid did an ARE stage 2 H/C/I, custom 12 bolt, RAM clutch, SLP LM and custom OR-pipe for my Grotts. The car is awesome!!! The 12 bolt is quieter then my factory 10 bolt was and the clutch is great too. Rapid Motorsports is the best shop for customer service and workmanship I have evewr dealt with. Thanks Mike.

Mike does great work!!

Two questions:
What are the specs of your cam?
Did you have tuning done?

That is pretty stout.. Yes, do you have any tuning done and what cam are you using.. I suspect something 226 and above.

How come the owner of the 9.5 ET LS1 hasn't become a sponsor here yet?

Cool that is the same cam I am running <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

With my 200R GN (Yank 4L70) tranny, 4.11 gears (12 bolt), 17 inch rims I made 385RWHP and 437-439RWTQ unlocked.
Cheers,
Chris

This car pulls extremely well now. I launched it at about 2500rpm on my 315-35zr-17 BFG COMP T/A ZRs and spun all through 1st until I speed-shifted at 6200-6400(damn factory tach), and spun through second till about 6000 when I lifted my foot. Second gear punch at 40mph will hold you back in the seat good. Great lope with my Grotts, no cats , SLP LM, but does have a nasty resonance at 2200-2500rpm. i might have a Borla bullet installed. My custom 12 bolt is quieter then my factory 10 bolt if you could be that!

Thanks alot Brian, glad you like it.

Hi Tony <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Too many other expenses now, you know the red money pit I call a car <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Actually we are looking to build a new facility with Dynojet and are saving every penny.

I believe this cam: 226\234 .554\.575 112 and Ed Wright did the tuning. This power was through a 12 bolt with 4.11s and 315-35-17 tires with chrome ZR1s 17x11s. I am getting robbed of power with that tire combo and the rear.

No, Mikey's just smart....He knows how to run a business. He told me he loses a little on each sale, but makes it up in volume <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
