I hear ya ! next event isn't until may 2-3, so wasn't planning to rush it...

but I am itching to get these installed... I may drop the car off with my mech, Redline Motorsports of Tempe, AZ, this week... one of the best, only downside is he doesn't have a dyno in his shop, so we'll prob only have 1 before and 1 after

will update soon

btw, like the new avatar ! best angle on the car !

It better be, that's the only angle most people ever get to see. They don't notice till you're blowing past them at about that angle, and by the time they get one good look about like his avatar, it's a fading dot on their horizon ;)

haha... especially at 300.2 rwhp !!! :)

RCZ 04-19-2009 07:10 PM

haha thanks :)

I just need to see what happens with your HFC install/header install. I would've done it already, but oil cooler had to be done asap. I am so glad its over hehe. After a few days and some hard driving, everything seems to be holding up ok...I think Im safe. (knock on wood).

Can't wait to do everything else, exhaust sounds good, but I want a little bit more db to it.

travisjb 04-19-2009 07:25 PM

I suspect the headers will add to the sound but not HP... I'm told the stock exhaust manifold is plenty free flowing and nearly already equal length... def look forward to comparing once a few of us have it installed

Nice photos T - do you take requests regarding the photographic backdrops, because I'd really like to see your next parts on fur, if possible (any colour, I'm not fussy).

Doesn't have to be real fur.

travisjb 04-21-2009 10:57 AM

I'll borrow the neighbor's dog !

chubbs 04-21-2009 10:59 AM

So we're going to see your parts on the neighbour's dog?

travisjb 04-21-2009 11:10 AM

FYI... dropped the car off with my mech yesterday... may have back by weekend

I'm likely to purchase a data acquisition system with camera... here's what I'm looking at:

1) SmartyCam from Aim Sports... announced, but not yet released... no price yet
http://www.smartycam.com/index_eng.htm

2) TraqMate complete + Chase Cam... ~$2K package... seamless data / video + simple onboard display
Traqmate.com GPS Data Acquisition
Racer Kit, Single Camera Package | ChaseCam

I'll buy through Sharif if I go with option 2

Input on these would be welcomed!

UPDATE: JUST ORDERED OPTION B THROUGH SHARIF... WILL TRY TO INSTALL FIRST WEEK OF MAY

I think this forum could become world famous for its photographic backdrops, thanks to RCZ!

RCZ 04-21-2009 05:44 PM

liez.

Update from my mech just now...

"Redline Motorsports to me
show details 10:40 PM (49 minutes ago)

Z made 277 whp. More info tomorrow.
Redline Motorsports
www.redlinewins.com"

Good for a baseline run... I'd have been not pleased if it were lower than my first motor at 270!... different dyno, different day, but still !

UPDATED: APPARENTLY, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT WEIGHT SETTINGS FOR THE CAR... RE-RAN THREE TIMES, CAME IN BETWEEN 273 AND 275...
