What's up guys,
Still learning a lot on the turbo game....car has bumper kit with T57's that are going out. Also been fighting some scavenging issues.
Talked to Comp and got a recommendation for;
CT3593S Air Cooled
They are 62/62 T3 .82 - 4" inlet 2.5" out.
Anyone running these units or have...
Race into a beautiful blue gen5 viper this morning.
I left a coffee/car meet and was cruising along the freeway in the 04.
I see the viper and we start pacing each other through traffic. I down shift to 4th, do a little pull in front of him to 90 or so for kicks. he keeps up.
60 seconds later...
Been putting a lot of miles on the cars lately and having some fun,
Got some pics of the HPD meet last Sunday, it was a good turnout
Ran into 2.8kb car and a bolt on ‘03
underground 2R
GTS-R viper -
And got the old man to bring out his zr1, he just got custom seats & harnesses...
Would not post something like this, unless it is my dream car.
How much are kidney's going for these days

Well not a traditional kill but had a little fun,
Was driving on the freeway in my 04, and a guy comes quick up on me in a white boss 302. He paces me to my left as I am in the middle lanes. He wants to run.
...well open freeway in front of us.... I think lets do it.
We are side by side, I...
Since this is not advertised anywhere, wanted to share if you plan to block the EGR system, ARH will build you a set with it removed if asked.
I had the egr deleted/capped off and recently the bung suddenly blew off the header after several years. The rep said this is a common and I should have...
So yeah I know it's terrible out there ....but my dad and I notice a local Houston track we have been to a few times was still open....not sure how, and I didn't ask questions. Good weather forecast, world is falling apart as we know it, yeah why not - we head to the track with the shelby...
Well I’ve have had too much time on my hands recently so here is a thought
Suppose car is RWD, manual trans, and has 500 hp.Consensus being 15-20% drivetrain loss
15%, being loss of 75 hp
Now car has a big shot of n20
makes 800hp
15% loss now 120hp
Help me understand why it would it take...
Nothing crazy but some fun for me not having any recent runs on the street:
Decided to hit the Houston Raceway Friday night to play around on street tires (888's are the tits).
Was side by side in staging lanes with a foreign guy in new black/black Mercedes E63. I was admiring his car however...
Sorry - another thread. Anyone running these sizes or one of these sizes I can see with pictures? everyone has the 18x9.5/18x11
I am trying to place an order for Classics and want the wheels closer inside fenders
CCW telling me I have to go smaller wheels but its comes right off the lip which...
Can’t figure this out - been going on for over a year now see this vid - boost falls 5-6lbs in upper RPMs:
Blower seems fine after I sent it back and Whipple inspected it.
Shop doing my work is top notch and been building/tuning cobras for 20 years.
It’s not belt slip - have had belts on so...
Fellas - send me anything you have that meets this:
Black on Black only - not looking at other colors at this time.
Under 50K mi preferred - the cleaner/lower mileage the better. Stocker the better
Would ideally like the car to be in Texas, but for the right car might be open to traveling to...
Cobros,
Yes! not very original but I’m getting some specs on classics.
Looking at:
18x9.5 F - 275/35 tire
18X 11 R - 305-315/35 tire
I talked to CCW and told them I want a little more backspacing than what they spec without going smaller wheel size. I wanted to spec the wheels 1/2 in inside...
Gents,
Pop says he needs more power in his R
Anyone using any blower kits with some track use?
Would like run 93 pump, lower boost level OK
Would like him to make 600whp - 700 whp
Limited weekend driving and 3-4 track days a year
Can’t find if VMP makes a kit.
2.9 whipple next best bet...
Just trying to see if it is worth the effort to help with intake temps...
I assume meth would run only run pre blower
Anyone running this and has it been worth it?
Thanks for any help,
You guys have any recommendations other than the usual alarm/lo-jack?
Was thinking about running a kill switch and hiding it within the car somewhere. Also, thought I saw a Bluetooth adapter you hook to your key chain that would need to sync to start your car. Would be nice to have something...
Friend of mine out of San Diego crews for some road racers. I went to go meet him in Austin and had a blast. He took me out on the circuit in a White GT3RS and what... a ...track. Unreal. I'm back hooked. It has me now wanting to get back into road-racing versus drag. I used to run shifter karts...
Gents -
Is there an air system where I can push a button from inside the car and raise/lower ride height as needed? Is air suspension the only way to go? Anyone have experience if these hold up with some drag abuse/high HP?
I already have crappy ground clearance with big headers but I would...
Only ‘18 I have seen with Twins so far. Color looks great in person and I like how he dropped out the black grills in front. Car is running air to water intercooler setup w/ 10 speed trans. I’m sure will be a monster.
Was told same owner has Zr1, Hellcat, Demon, Trackhawk Jeep.....etc.....Yessir!
