Now for the DRIVE. Sean pulled up to this sight awaiting him at the foot of my drive. The smile on his face was like a kid on prom night being told by his date to disrobe.
The cars had been pre-warmed by yours truly and ready to go. A quick once over his car and Sean said, "So, you ready to take these fuckers out or what?"
We only went a short 10 or so miles terrorizing the back roards near my home and leaving black lines of a tell tale sign of where we had came from
Surprisingly the invos I have are what I was told, a great tire. They held the power well until the upper echelon of the RPM spectrum was reached. At that point the only thing that happened was the appearence of massive black rubber being laid to the asphalt as the boost ramped in something fearful. It was in a word, NASTY.
No video yet boys but soon I promise. I have big plans for this car.
THE NUMBERS.Kevin and his shop blew me away with everything they did. They probably care almost TOO much about the customer if that is possible. We spoke daily about the progress usually once or twice a day. These guys called me on Sundays making dyno pulls to shoot the shit. His work ethic is second to none really. Ok, enough...
As you can tell from the graph the car made corrected numbers of 915 rwhp. with a torque (although not present) assumed to have been in the 900 even range. KC was having issues getting a good tach signal to stay constant so rather waste time I told them to fuck it. I can always get the car redyno'd at a later time. I was suffering some serious viper withdraw. The timing and methanol are set VERY CONSERVATIVELY. The car had other pulls made with some more aggressive timing but I wanted it backed down to where I knew I wouldn't be inviting any issues. By doing so I may have sacrificed 30 or so RWHP but 915 is nothing to sneeze at
I had originally sent the car to Kevin planning to do just the AEM, Paxton, meth and that was it. Somewhere down the road, my asshole friend Sean had decided to go with heads, and when Kevin told me that I matched the bet as well, doing heads and T7D rockers. Snors car made about 5-10 rwhp more than me using his 3.55 gears which Kevin put back to stock after the pull. Time prevented Seans from redyno'g using the 3.07's due to Gary Almond showing up and under a tight deadline for other pickups out west. Snors car has headers and mine is still running the factory CAST manifolds which really did decent considering the minimal spread in rwhp between the two rides. Sean also chose a JM stage 3 cnc head when Kevin got me a superb deal on a set of fox lake heads which had some additional head porting done on. They worked great too.
I wanted to again thank Kevin, and his guys for the amazing vehicle they put together for me and I can't say much more than that. Underground Customer for life.
