OMG>>>>>>>>OMG OMG OMG

This car is FORKIN' UNBELEIVABLE!!! I have been pulled around by it all day long! Not only that, it runs better than it EVER has! It idles smoother, revs smoother (and quicker), runs cooler!

I made MANY Spirited runs today! I drove it pretty much ALL day. You can get out, pop the hood, and put your "bare" face right on top of the intake manifold! THis thing is UNBELEIVABLE!

I have never been in a car this FAST! It pulls in 4th like it used to pull in 2nd! It just KEEPS ON PULLING! I need bigger brakes! I "pegged" it a couple of times in 4th gear today! WOW! THis is CRAZY!

I took my neigbor with the 450 hp Z28 (1980) for a ride. He was SOOOO blown away that he gave me $20 for gas!

I took my other neighbor for a ride (and his cute G/F at the same time). THis guy has been on several SERIOUSLY fast 600cc bikes. He said I am "deffinately" in the 600cc territory (at 14lbs to boot!)

WOW..... How did everybody else react to their turbo upgrades?

Mike S.

Luke...you still want a 930??????

Luke

why bother now

Now , i just want good brakes

BTW, good point (you called that one)

nickhance

I'm jealous. What did you do and how much did it cost?

Luke

I put a boost in enchancer in her!!! took me 4 hard months, but it REALLY paid off

BTW (I CAN"T stop smiling!)

nickhance

Wait.. you mean a boost enhancer like <a href="http://www.smartcart.com/Paragon/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=944BoostEnh" target="_blank">this?</a>
That's really all you've done?

I know you needed injectors for the longest while, was that part of the upgrade?

Luke

opps, sorry, I was just playin'

• changed rod bearings
• changed pan gasket
• New tranny with a locking diff
• SFR turbo Stage one, stage 3 trim 54mm comp wheel, kkk#6 hotside (which I think was a mistake, sorry to say "refering to the choice of hotside" )
• Sean951's intercooler pipes
• Sean951's J pipe
• Pro Flow MAF!!! (run and GET one!!!)
• Huntley chips
• Adj, FPR
• and a set of bosch 45# injectors from <a href="http://www.rceng.com!" target="_blank">www.rceng.com!</a> (great people )

I already had

• 3in exhuast
• LR dual port wastegate (great unit!)
• MBC and gauge mounted under the CD player
  

I also did a bunch of routine crap like

changed:

• plugs
• wires
• cap
• rotor
• replaced vacuum lines
• Fresh, clean coolant!!!

Car runs Superb!!!

951and944S

So Lukester,

I noticed that your list of goodies doesn't include injectors, did you revert back to the stock ones, or simply forget to list em...?

BTW good job, how about some pics..?

What's the color of the intake look like with the gray pipes....?

Post some G-tech times when you get a chance.

What would you say was the real issue that held you back, most recently..?
Did you really put your finger on the poor running/idling from a few days ago, or did it start running right after changing more than one thing..

glad to see you're up and running, and runnung well......! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" /> <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" /> <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

There was a loose intercooler pipe.

danny951

Where do you live again?? I'd love to see your car! Go get a dyno run or two and give us some numbers!


Question: do you wish you'd gone with a standalone EFI vs. the PROFLOW?

Silverbullet951

How much was the pro flow?

Silverbullet951

Luke, what kind of 3 inch exhaust do you have? your car sounds insane.

FityOne

Where do you get the Proflow and which one did you get, there are a few listed. Your car sounds like a beast.
Lets see some engine bay pics

Luke - any chance you will just happen to be leaving one morning at the same time as the z28?

adrial

He'd poo on the Z28...its a 3 speed auto, although with 450hp.
