Thanks Gale, Mr. Bergenholtz did some more tucking of wires and making things look neat in the engine bay. He didn't want me looking like a scrub at the fiesta! lol

I'll be there buddy. What hotel are you at? Are you going to the dinner and drinks at the classic garage tonight? All of Houston Z's should be parked together and I'm pretty sure they are parking the Z's my years anyways.

O&G stands for Oil & Gas (my industry) and ask for Justin or McGnarly, they know who I be!

I mite even throw the car on the dyno out there if my car isn't too low. See what I can push around 17psi. Remeber I have 9:1 so I have to throw a bit more boost at her to get numbers these 10:1 guys are pushing, but my big boy 70mm can handle it no problem!

JTran tuned me an anti-lag map too. I haven't messed with it yet. My mind has been tinkering with the thought of already modifying my setup.

Sad that I technically got it finished yesterday and I'm already thinking about how I can improve it.

Odd, I have to give mine a lil gas on start up, but it's nothing crazy.

jwick 04-28-2014 09:36 AM

That's what I have to do also but it only started Saturday and not all the time. I was going to start by pulling codes with UpRev. If nothing comes up it might just be that startup needs a little throttle.

theDreamer 04-28-2014 09:38 AM

When the car is hot or cold?
Had both at different times with mine and it just a little adjustment in the start up (little more throttle in the tune or possible a little more fuel can never remember which it was to fix).

Both. Took the car to Chuck's Saturday morning for first week checkout/oil change/etc. Started fine. Wrapped up and started the car to verify oil level (still trying to figure out proper amount to add now that there is so much more capacity), it started fine. Started it a second time to check again no issue. Third time it gave me the issue and I had to add throttle. So semi-warm.

Parked the car Saturday afternoon and didn't drive it again until this morning going to work. Had the start problem again completely cold.

Mr&Mrs 05-02-2014 05:31 AM

I think the start issue is not enough fuel when it's a hot start.

O&G 05-02-2014 07:28 PM

The beginning stages of my track car build started today. Ron Bergenholtz approached me this morning asking if I wanted to go full track mode and let him drive as well. I of course said yes. Having a legend wanting to build my car for free and drive it and teach me is a once in a lifetime dream for me. He has decided to build a functional front splitter attached to the frame and have our body shop mold and paint it accordingly. He also used his connections at APR to get me a GT spec wing which will be attached to my back bumper with custom brackets. He is also putting his $10k brembo brake setup on the car he had left over from his racing days. We will also be completing a full cage and doing some custom brake and cooling upgrades. He will also be doing a custom fuel surge tank setup and dry sump system.

My big horsepower build is on hold for now in order to complete this setup instead.

The beginning stages..... moar air!

Stay tuned!

Major clutch slippage this morning @ 14-15psi (wastegate), made about 500whp 500wtq on his Mustang, the single disc ACT 6 puck just can't handle the wtq this beast is putting out:

Mr. Bergenholtz used his connections with clutch masters and is getting me a Quarter Master setup that will hold 1100 whp. I need to get w/ Z1 and see if they have a CSC delete that will work w/ this clutch setup. I got it for 40% discount :) Ron was at the Atlanta Formula Drift w/ Nitto last week (he is crew chief of DeNoffa's team). Radium Engineering had a booth and he set up a vendor account with them and we will be using a dual Walbro 400 pump configuration w/ their surge tank setup and running custom lines, fittings, etc... to the CJM rails. My 340lph will feed the surge tank. This should be more than enough to handle the power goals and tracking. I also got a nice deal on that. I've sold my ID 850's to a friend and will be using the ID 1300's or 1600's, depending. Lots of stuff in the works, and my 401K is getting hit hard...... YOLO!

LOL! I'm currently holding off dumping anymore money into the car right now, I actually have it on the interweb for sale, but in no rush to sell. Just trying to see if I can get what I want for it.

Testing the dyno after we set it up for the buyer, 1/2 throttle pull, this car was very nice and street driven.

Yes sir, the tools he is getting with it are top notch and will make tuning that much easier and accurate. I'm excited!

that would be really nice although my stock height went right on fine a few months back at the Houston Z $20 dyno event.
