Default Kind of new here...

I originally registered to purchase certain parts I needed. I figured since I'm going to post a little more, I'd introduce myself.

I am 29 married (for 8 yewars) and have a 2.5 year old boy. I enjoy my family and my car. I have a 97 camaro, I'll be going to HPE today for some numbers. I noticed people are going to HRP tonight, it's possible I might go tonight as well.

I hope all had a happy Thanksgiving...

Going to the track tonight Pat? Not going to wait on injectors and tuning or even tires? Don't let your overzealous buddy talk you into going before you have enough fuel... look at what that gets you.

We put larger injectors in today. She's pulling timing. We are not going to go. She's not ready definately need tuning first. I called ya Ross.....

Here are the dyno results. Chuck at HPE ran her on the dyno.

baseline HP (Before turbo) 175 WRHP 202 RWTQ
After turbo
330RWHP 710RWTQ (obviously wrong?) @ 7 PSI
She started pulling timing so next step is tuning then I'll be runing 10PSI. I hope to be over 400RWHP after that.

BTW this is a v6 3.8l

That is my goal. I want a 10 sec V6, something different. I'm getting HP tuners software in the next few weeks. Problem there will be that I do not fully understand the art of tuning, so there's probably going to be a huge learning curve when I start playing with it. I want to upgrade internals sometime next year. We'll see where it all goes.

Here's a few pics, I have not gotten any great shots from the front since Tiago finished the turbo.
