I have a ported 18 mani. GT350 CAI and TB. LT. so that’s kinda why I would shift way up there. The car would keep pulling all the way through, but I would over heat doe to lack of cooling with that use
Thats what the instructor and i discussed afterwards. most of the time it did happen to get that extra bit of edge to pass a car before the brake zone passed by. I noticed it would occur too after a downshift going too high into the RPM. i will definitely be upgrading engine cooling with either...
not to get off topic, but wouldn't the air scoop increase airflow around the fins of the transmission therefore cooling the oil more? is that difference negligible when comparing it to a stand alone oil cooler and oil pump? or are you not talking about oil cooling at all and are referring to oil...
Took my car to a HPD event. Specifically HOD over at PBIR in Jupiter, FL on Saturday the 29th of feb. Day was clear and the temps were in the mid 60s. Car is a 2016 base GT with FBO, 93 PBD tune and lots of handling goodies.
The first 20 minute session went well. An hour later did a second and...
the only issue i had was that the car went into a limp mode a good 3 or 4 times. usually after a shift from 4rth to 5th or a down shift. I was able to control it best if i shifted at 7k rp instead of 8k. i think i may have a transmission overheating issue? is the FP air scoop for the tranny...
Sportlines worked great at PBIR. car felt really planted. no bottoming out or drama coming into the brake zones or coming WOT out of a long turn anything. put down 1.09 lateral Gs. No rubbing or anything. tires were a dream.
with 2.8 front i got pefect wear. i started at 25 PSI cold. warmed up...
Well I’m hoping to get 6k miles out of these. That’s what most of the z28 guys get. They say it’s more of a heat cycling limited tire than tread which could be nice.
so far I already went to an autox event with the sportlines, the track was very smooth so I had no problems. I didn’t feel any...
So my set up.
SVE SP2
19x11
Et 50
-2.6 camber
Steeda camber plates
305 30 19 Pirelli Trofeo R
Lowered on sportlines and steeda shocks
My experience with these tires is that they have exceptional lateral grip. I have track days on Feb 29 and March 8 coming up. I’ll let you know what kind of Gs...
I have one that will work as a rear! Practically new! 19x11 et50. Long story short LMR sent me a miss match from my order. I now have a spare black. It’s hours for next to nothing plus shipping!
it depends where your listening from. from inside the cabin its not bad at all. outside the car i followed my bud driving my car in his stock 2018 GT and when he floored it it was deafening. ridiculously loud. like a NASCAR coming out a a turn.
to be honest cruising around is not noticeable...
Exactly. Best bang per buck will always be FI. But it's just that you need alot of buck for that bang.
Fortunately I think I may swipe up a paxton or pro charger kit one of these days. Maybe if a member has a low mileage take off it would be a consideration....
But back on topic for now. CJ...
do you guys think I'm really missing out on power like the Bmacil said with my current set up of a stock TB and airaid MXP?
Really appreciate the honest responses. ill browse the site for now.
Wow just the response I was looking for. Ok I'll try out that velossa tech pieces along with a better intake. I'll look into the gt350 intakes and see how she behaves.
I dont have OPG. Current tune feul cut off is at 7850. I've been holding back in them for some time now just because of how...
Hey guys, I usually just lurk around but have cant find solid answers on what I'm looking for.
I have a buddy selling his Cobrajet intake manifold along with the VMP 67mm TB and Pmas. But he had to cut his hood (no thanks) to make it fit. Of coarse I asked him if he went with the steeda engine...
