Default Thanks Lethal Performance!

Took the car down to lethal performance in SA to get a tune done, picked the worst day of all 102 degrees in the shop!
I threw a 14.5psi wastegate spring in and was only getting 10psi on the dyno, but it still made 621/642. Took it out and finished the tuning on the road with it hitting right at 12psi, car freakin moves now! Put it on a couple R6's, a 650rwhp supra and a 620rwhp turbo M3 already.

Gotta get another spring and move up to 14-15psi, then the real fun will begin!

LP does great work. They aren't a sponsor though (at least last I checked) so this thread won't last....

do it, money was the only reason i suggested the Whipple over going turbo

the GTO isn't worth modding besides just throwing a turbo on it.

I've never had any work done at Lethal, but I've known J-M over there for years (from racing at SAR). Seems like a good crew.

Damn Jimmy, now you are going to be insufferable.

Yeah, insufferable. Go look that up.

haha, glad to hear you got it running... and fast it would seem.

My blue POS, well actually both blue POS's will be back up soooooon.

What does the fast blue POS run anyway? I remember seeing a vid or two a while back of it.

Stop talking nonsense. That's impossible.

Sarge, goal is to get it into the 10's NA. I think I'm there, just need to keep it running long enough to make some more passes. Come October the air should be good enough and if that doesn't do it, the Lloyd Elliot manifold mod will almost surely do it. My 396 is currently trying to inhale through an OEM LT4 manifold.

After I get the NA timeslips, I will turn on the bottle.

Yeah the whole crew over there is awesome, they have treated me like gold since day one of dealing with them. Seems everytime I bring them the car something is messed up with it and they just whip out the tools and fix it on the spot no problem.

Cant wait to see the blue beast out again, hopefully it will run long enough for me to see it in action.
