Drop me a line some time I plan on coming out to the East coast in the spring some time it would be cool to meet up and see your animal, Badass Ride, love the avtar as well.

650 is attianable on pump gas thats what my car has in it now, JDM knows thier stuff.:rockon:

Squeaked? Jim's a pretty big dude..i think u had some back up to get outta his shop with that much power ;-) I'm still pushing for a nitrous tune, but first the first thing after cams r done and fuel in place..suspension. I need to put all this to the ground and make it stick. I will for sure, and let me know next time u head to JDM..i'll take a swing by :beer: And, Matt..u got a beast yourself. I would love to have your torque curve, but i'm too much of a chicken to swap out my crank pulley :lol1: u got balls my man :thumbsup:

Just get the Metco ten rib kit 3.55 upper with a ten pound lower it is a awesome kit, if you want pics let me know and I'll get them for you it was the best money spent on this car besides JDM working on the car.:rockon:
p.s it makes 22psi

 

[trey193]

I can vouch for Haveight's car making 22-23, everytime I would get on it was getting up on the 23 mark on the boost guage with no problem. That ten rib kit is awesome!!

[Blades]

Awesome #s.. You were pretty much dead on with your estimates! Lets see more #s with your other setup

I was talking to Jim about your setup the other and i was actually holding the crank pulley in my hand before they shipped it out to u a few weeks back I haven't discussed an install with him yet but the pieces r awesome. I love the reinforced bracket for the tensioner :rockon:

*drools*

 

[JSHTROD]

What are the specs on these cams? Can they be used with the stock hardware?

 

[Emmerson_Biggins]

I was wondering the same thing, do have, or can you get the cam specs ??? Good #'s BTW :beer:

 

[Xplicit]

Not sure on the specs, sorry..prob best to call up JDM. The springs and retainers that came with them were used.

Update: I picked up my car yesterday. The pump tune is at 660rwhp/570rwtq. The car peaked at 720rwhp/680rwtq(again with only 20-21psi)but the fuel line needs to be upgraded. The car will be brought back within a week and a half for the upgrade on the fuel line, then the fun begins again.

As for my initial feel of driving the car home. Instant hardon for me :-D It cruises smoother than silk, the reaction to boost is instaneous, more now than ever. When she's all dialed in, anyone in my area who wants a ride, let me know....

 

[Rayzcar]

JSHTROD - AND FRANCO

The specs on your cams shoud be; Duration of 258 and a Lift of 425 intake and exhaust. At least that's what the card on mine says and Anthony at JDM said we have the same ones. Springs and retainers were changed to titanium.

 

[Xplicit]

Thx Ray :beer: Ray..tomorrow still on?

 

[Rayzcar]

Yes indeed!! I drove it to work today; it's now covered in salt! I'll be leaving hear in about an hour to head up that way. See you tomorrow. Think of some place good for lunch.:thumbsup:

 

[Xplicit]

Niiiiiiiiiice! See u then..and what bout White Castle? They make 'great' burgers ;-)

I am in your area.....well I am in Auburn, but I estimate with the way that thing runs it should only be a 30 minute drive.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rockon:
