So, up first we have an 8-Rib conversion kit from VMP Tuning.
I acquired various sized pulleys. I really want to keep the Nitrous shot (not being used yet) to a 50-75...for cooling and launch purposes, not specifically for max power purposes.
The bottom pic, above, is the new Low Profile 20% stiffer low profile tensioner. This helps with clearance, and belt stability when using the larger overdrive pulleys like the 15% pictured on the right of the pic.
I plan to run the 69mm Upper / 15% lower to start.
Here, we have some Zeitronix goodies that I purchased from Lund Racing.
I will be using this in conjunction with my Lund Racing NGAUGE to have all of my data in the logs from/with the ngauge.
Fuel Pressure
Oil Pressure
Boost Curve
EGTs
Additional Failsafe Wideband/AF
I plan on pushing things hard...so the more data the better!
Rey@Juggernaut Power hooked me up with a smoking deal on a set of these Borla Longtube headers. Tracking shows these being here Tomorrow.
I am not so sure the LT headers will improve the power and performance substantially, to be perfectly honest.
What they will do though, is make pushing more boost and nitrous a little more effective, and safer, etc. The less heat, the better!
The great folks over at Lethal Performance have a Reische 170 Stat coming my way.

Same with the headers, this is to make the combo more effective and safer at higher cylinder pressure levels.
Now that I am going to be pushing the car much harder, I went ahead and upgraded my rear tires. I took the MT II DR in 295/45 off, in favor of these sweet new MT "R" Radials, in a 305.
I went a 1.44 previously on the other tires, and suspect they can hold 1.30s...but I think these new tires will be much more consistent.
I also wanted to get a taller tire, so I can experiment with crossing the traps in 3rd gear ----(at 8500rpm)
Of all that said, I will be honest - my wife is starting to notice this stuff. I may have to slow it down temporarily.
I may pick her up a Ford Explorer EcoBoost (and tune it!) to hold her off for a bit.
More updates coming soon!!!!
Be sure to come to NMRA Bowling Green. It should be a great time.
Saturday night, I have a race lined up with the Watson Racing car.
