I was going to say 600. 700 is just silly

 

[HellsBells]

If the motor can take it, why not?

 

[S197gt07]

The poor tires!

 

[Guido]

I'll be content with 500+ whp, at least until I can get use to that kind of power. Next year I'll be doing Whipples 10 rib dedicated belt drive and go for 17 pounds, aiming at 600+ whp.

I did just get in some new 18x10 gt40 wheels wrapped in NT555 street tires, 285/40.

 

[HellsBells]

The poor tires!

They must burn!

Street!? Not even the R's!? They are going to melt!

 

[Guido]

Didn't want to go sticky tires yet. I want the transmission to last at least one season, lol.

 

[HellsBells]

I think you'll be fine on 285s man. It's not like you should be flooring it in first or second gear anyway.

[Captainstr8edge]

[Guido]

[california gt]

Well I will say HellsBells that was a pretty good post/photoshop about tech threads.

 

[S197gt07]

I loled big time

 

[Captainstr8edge]

I loled big time

I did too lol

 

[S197gt07]

Humph.

Dad called me the other day and said my car would hardly make it across the street without stalling out. Though he was crazy since I drove it all week fine.

Go out today, car starts, very rough, idles down to 300 and dies. Finally got around to moving it, and it wasn't happy. Checked all connections, looked good. Reflashed the dyno tune, same thing.

Took the intake off, tb is clean as a whistle. Re checked the torque on all the plugs, good. Put it all back together and it fired up fine.

Fair enough

Dirty MAF? Flooded engine? Bad coil-on-plug connection? Voodoo?

 

[S197gt07]

I didn't touch the MAF, so my guess is no.
Could be, but don't know how taking apart and putting it back together would fix it.
COP is my second choice at the moment.
Which leaves Voodoo, it just has to be Voodoo.

Runs like a stabbed rat though, so no complaints after my "Troubleshooting" drive.

Also, when it was all weird and stuff there was loads of condensation dripping from all the exhaust clamps...

After it ran I backed up and if you played connect the dots you could see how the exhaust is run.

Maybe your car has the diarrhea?
