It was December 9th when I called Sam to make the change to the 1.5 SC, so about 5 1/2 months. I've heard of others who waited much longer, I guess I'm lucky in that respect. But I will reserve judgement until I get home from Tampa with out a rod shooting through the hood or something similar.

There could be one Z in a lot of 1000 that is a turd and I will unknowingly point at it and say 'That's the one I want'. It's not just with cars....it seems like my whole life.:mad:

Just imagine how happy n satisfied you would have been if GTM was professional about it and you received everything in a decent time. Its ashame that you're robbed of half ur joy because everything "finally" (even tho in ur case its still not ready) ready.

Good luck buddy! At least you'll be boosted! Depending which way you drive back I'd love to see the best in person!

One of the many things that has me pissed is that the cool air is almost gone. Originally the MHI kit was suppossed to be out be late summer and I'd have all winter (FL winters are weak) to rip around in the cool air. It's summer now...I feel robbed.:shakes head:

I hear your getting tuned today!!!

Think about it this way- even in summer, it'll be much, much faster than it was when it was NA. So you'll get to play with it that way all summer. Then, when it cools down in the fall, it'll get even faster.

Will be glad to get some numbers, however, any excitement is overshadowed by my wife's surgery. She's in pre-op right now. Will post them when I get them.

Will need some tires soon. Considering Michelin PSS. Looks like I will only be able to buy the rears for now. Install has tapped me out. :shakes head:

Eight months ago I would have been fine for all four. Thanks GTM :nutswinger:

Sorry to hear about your wife's surgery, keep your head up buddy..

(any excitement is overshadowed by my wife's surgery)

She's out of surgery. Doc said everything went great. Will be staying the night so this will probably delay me getting the car by a day. I've waited this long.:tiphat:

Bobby doing pulls as of now.:ughdance:

How much boost will you be running? I want to guess on what your final numbers will be...

Glad to see it's all working out for you and more importantly that your wife is doing well!

I wouldn't expect too high of whp or tq numbers with this sc kit so don't be disappointed. The thing is it will be a lot easier and safer on the stock motor ..

I'm so pissed right now I can't see straight. I purchased and paid for a 1.5 SC kit from Sam. I explicitly advised Sam to include the 88mm/11 lb pulley multiple times. VSR is getting only 408 hp at less than 9 lbs. Bobby stated that the instructions only said "stage 1". If this is true then Sam is a f@cing crook !!! Bobby texted Sam and CC'd me. I can't wait to hear what he says. I will be calling Sam SOON.

I can't take too much more of this.:shakes head:

Sorry buddy. You should know whether it's a STG 1.5 vs 1 based on the air filter location and the motor mount, right? The pulley is at least a fairly easily correctable issue.
