Going for 7's and 1500whp, launching off a transbrake and nitrous? Id much rather have the bump/transbrake, boost control, nitrous control, launch and traction control an aftermarket system has.
Man I'm glad hers is controlled. I'm still fairly young (34) and it gave me a lot of empathy for those dealing with a chronic condition when I was diagnosed. I can go from functional one day to completely off the next. It must feel like a blessing having it under control for her.
I appreciate...
AWE Track Exhaust with Chrome tips. Didn't bother to stage everything; I will have the tips cleaned for the buyer, everything is in solid shape. Some discoloration on one pipe in photo simply due to the cold today. Zero nicks, dents, or dings on this system. Have all hardware. Local pickup...
15-17 D1X kit. Comes with everything needed including an extra belt and oil for the headunit. What it does NOT have is a fuel setup, as I ran a fore system. I would highly recommend if you pick up this kit that you utilize something other than just a BAP. I DO have an Ngauge I'm willing to...
My issue with the Holley is lack of some of the advanced features. The setup will be going on a 1500hp setup so I do want ease of control over some of those parameters.
Well shit, not what I was wanting to hear lmao. The premium on motec is crazy. I havenāt seen anyone running fuel tech TBH.
I guess Iāll get on trying to find a vendor with a haltech system š
Ahahah you ain't wrong about that. I make decent money and truth be told when I had my health issues I was in the hospital for over a month, with the chance of death a reality. So, it put in perspective the fact that I won't be taking the money with me, especially given I'm dealing with a...
Ya, 8's arent crazy difficult. Now I would say reliable 8's will cost a tad bit of money. I think there's a big jump price wise going from high 8's to 7's...whole drivetrain, making sure you have the ability to get the car to hook, safety gear, etc.
I'm also future proofing this to a degree to...
When I started this I put together an initial budget....let's just say I decided I'm not looking at numbers. I'll spend the money I have as I go along while keeping my total stashed away saved, however long it takes me to get the car exactly where I want without cutting corners.
My guess...
Happy New Years all. Glad I'm old and not hung over today ahah.
Shitty weather out here today so wasn't motivated to get too crazy with work. Decided I was gonna go ahead and pull the diff and axles. Well...a little worked turned into a little more. After popping out the passenger axle like...
Sure thing. He's probably still hungover from NYE right now but I'm let him know when I get ahold of him and shoot you his info. Where are you located?
I'm sure he has--he tunes mostly with Haltech. Mainly higher end exotics but also Camaros, Mustangs, etc. I can reach out to him and pass along his info if you'd like. Super smart guy and awesome fabricator.
Aha I don't know if it's a norm YET. If I wasn't super type A and was willing to spend a stupid amount of money to hit it I'd be just fine with 8's. I admit I'm a little dumb for being set on that goal :cwl:
Hey guys, in the process of a build. Initially I was going to run a haltech 2500 system, but I think Haltech may have discontinued their plug and play setup for the s550. Given I'd prefer not to hardwire the car, wondering what others run? I've looked at both AEM Infinity and a Fuel Tech FT600...
Aha, not tuning myself. That's one area I don't want to risk newer knowledge on given the financial risk. My buddy Chris is going to do it...he's the one that pushed me towards Haltech. I had utilized one of their systems about 12-13 years ago in a turbo miata and wasn't super fond of it, but he...
Thanks man, Bogart has been great so far to deal with and I like that I'm going through a "smaller" company.
I have a whole new look for the car envisioned. I'm tempted to call them back and have them machine out the scallops in the beadlocks instead of it being ALL gloss black, but I'll sit...
Went ahead and finalized the order with Bogart Wheels today. I'll be going with this style (eliminator) in a 15x11.5 beadlock with additional bolts on the hub face...gloss black beadlock ring and barrel and satin black center. Same setup for the 17x4.5 minus the beadlock in the front. They...
100%. Don't know many other types of people that would get so excited over a piece of machine billet :rockon: I'll be shooting you a line in regards to parts for a lot of this build, always appreciate the help.
I ended up going with a 3 layer GT350 cometic just for ease of access. I think it'll be adequate but we'll see. By off-chance, do you know if .4 is stock uncompressed thickness?
