nice man! finally blown. Good shop, good blower, good car... a lot has changed since i saw you last lol!

 

[Taxman]

I thought about popping in and saying "Hey its me , the guy with the longest build in history, I'm 05stoker" LOL but, I had a long day today at work so, priority takes over. I am ready for some track time!!!!

Good call and nice car!

Man you should've. A couple of folks stopped by.

I'm ready for some track time too. I was gonna go to Crandall Friday, but I forgot I got tickets to the Rangers.

I just bought that FRPP throttle body. I'll have it Friday hopefully. This fail safe shit sucks.

I still haven't made it to where you were. I still got some trails to follow, John. We were talking about you up at True Street today.

Round 2 will be better. I will always miss my 07, but I don't regret what I did. I needed to fix some things and priorities. I will be buying another in december when i save 10 grand.

 

[Jucostud]

Anybody remember this beast lol

 

[mikeyfitz]

So pretty.

I got your torque already. Gotta catch your HP... maybe I need to dyno mine in December when it's cold. LOL

I loved that car John, but I know your next one is gonna be even better. Clint and I were talking about how you dogged the shit out of that thing and didn't ever blow the motor.

 

[Jucostud]

94k miles, 505rwhp, multiple highway pulls against Holywd... These motors are strong when tuned properly.

 

[Taxman]

Sean did mine. I was hoping for some higher HP results, but it was pretty hot and humid today. He took 18 degrees of timing. I'm having some issues now though with the BBK throttle body, so I'm getting a FRPP one.

 

[MindIfISmoke?]

looking great my friend!

 

[Jucostud]

Sean did mine too. He's one of the best around.

 

[Taxman]

Good to know. I left very happy with the shop and the people running it. Your recommendation went a long way in me going to them because of your power numbers and how you ran your car.

Putting this on tonight:

So are you happy with the SC? Does it feel like night and day vs before the SC?

It's like I'm driving a new car man. I love it! The torque sits you back in your seat. I'm very happy.

 

[cm581978]

In for the cliff notes, but is your v3 the non intercooled version? If so, mind telling me where you picked it up from?

 

[Taxman]

I've got the cooled version, Paxton air to air on mine. I bought it from a forum member here. $3100 for the kit, all I needed was spark and fuel.
