Man this guys Customer service is outstanding. I have not even made it down to see him yet but had an issue getting the car stay running after the engine swap, called him at 7:00pm and he helped me get the car to idle over the phone using my HPTuners software. I really can't wait until 10/01/09. But I have been told by my nitrous guy to not even attempt activating both stages on the dyno. :confused:
So I guess we can only hope for 750-800rwhp on the first stage. :mad:
Now what would be really cool is if they had a track real close near by where we could do some real life testing.
Shoot i went 10.41 @132.47 with the stock engine + bigger cam and 200 shot
whats she going to run with a 416 and 400shot ?

What's she going to run with a 416 and a 400 shot? I think she's going to go plaid.

Sounds good! Post up results when you can. It'll be interesting to see how far your track times drop. When is the next trip to the track? The weather is finally getting nice again.

Do you also check plugs for timing,AFR and heat or rely on the computer ?
Also Chris would like me to make a pull with a set of firecore50's that he gave me yesterday to see if they make any difference since you all were supposed to do it and haven't yet :) LOL

:bat: My SLOW junk is already there. So did you get your heap drivable yet? I am not going to feel like pushing at 5AM. At least I drove mine down under it's own power. 5hrs BTW, including construction zones (5 of them) and stopping for lunch.

You didn't stop and say hi to the OKC folks?

Just got the new fuel system and nitrous all buttoned up tonight. Only 2 small leaks and I believe they are now fixed. The car will not start very well but runs ok after it idles for a minute or 2. Will be doing all the nitrous wiring tomorrow night and also will try to get it running a little bit better. the plan is to get it on the trailer and tied down Wednesday evening after work so that everything is ready to go EARLY EARLY Thursday morning.
Oh and I drove it home tonight

I'll stop by Weds evening and help if you want. 5 or 6am Thursday should get us there in plenty of time. Ethan will be with me.

I actually spent the night Saturday in OKC - The Village - with my sister. I will catch up with you OKC guys sometime soon hopefully. Maybe when I come pick up the hooptie in a couple of weeks.

Man, we had a pretty good sized GTG at my house on Sat. Goats everywhere, beer, good BBQ, and we even dug a fire pit and had a great fire going until the water line going out to my shop burst. Seems it's a bad idea to light a fire on top of a water line. Who wouldathunkit? It shoots a geyser right through the center of the fire and 20 feet in the air. It was AWESOME. :D

Wife was all...:bat:

SNL appears to have a steady stream of Kansas GTOs showing up on their doorstep. Matt did a great job on tuning my car. Between him and Slowgoats old FAST 90, I went from a PB of 11.88 to 11.57. Thanks again.

I almost called matt and ask him if he would want to come to Wichita and have a tuning session if I were to fly him in but I was to chicken to ask the tuner here if we could rent his dyno for the day

Could always meet in the middle. There's a Mustang shop here that's really cool about renting out their dyno...Since it's primarily a Mustang shop...They won't care about that.

I know its late but I just got the wiring finished up on the fuel pump and nitrous. (everything but the relay power wire "need a connector") Just snapped a few photos of the finished piece. Talk about down to the wire on this deal.
We have an A1000 pump to run the motor and the stock fuel system (lpe255) to run the nitrous. Its also 2 stages of nitrous with a direct port and a plate.
The engine is a 416in LS3 12:1compression with a smallish 238/244 .612lift 114lsa cam.

Awesome build! Ok, that does it! I gotta have a stroker LS3 now too! Well, maybe at least new cam to tide me over until I can talk my wife into the engine swap. ;)

You got the red car tuned up yet ?

I would like to see some video. I heard that 250lbs of corndogs and 250lbs of water bottles couldn't even contain this deal.

Oh crap and I am still cleaning oil up since the janitor didn't get it all. LOL
