Hey @80FoxCoupe : I know you’re joking around but out of curiosity what is the stall on your converter? What transmission? :beer:

Thanks. I suspect it “adds” more power on the ‘22 and ‘23 since it eliminates the carbon trap and necked down MAF. No tune needed. It’s the wife’s summer daily so I doubt I’ll ever dyno it to find out for sure lol

I’m always down for a race. :) I don’t have a dedicated drag car, there’s no chute, still rocking factory automatic transmission and stock rear end, air conditioning, heated and cooled seats, etc. Can drive it anywhere and doesn’t go into the ditch (not yet anyway lol). Gets out of its own...

Dude this just isn’t true. A guy who just bolts on a Whipple is getting. 550-600 WHP. If you’re running NT555R2 or better out back, that is NOT a burnout machine. It’s just going to go on anything resembling a clean dry road. So again, the Whipple makes way more power under the curve on a...

It’s not. Mine makes 1066 WHP and my wife can drive it to get groceries if she wants. Read my previous post about tuning your timing in the ranges where you feel like you need to tame the torque down a bit.

Because you can simply tweak the timing and boost to maximize the setup. Even with a couple of degrees less timing to help calm things down in the low end, the Whipple will still produce more power under the curve by a good margin. Not sure why I’d want to give that up. If I only went to the...

This really isn’t entirely true. A good tuner simply strips back a couple degrees of timing in the low and midrange to tame the torque, then let it fully eat at higher RPMs. I also run the tallest drag radial I can run too as that helps tame torque on the gearing side. And if that’s not...

Yeah on “only” 800 WHP you wouldn’t be working a 2650 very hard so agree that pulleying it down would definitely increase the noise by a good bit. I’m just under 1100 WHP and my exhaust is a lot louder than my 3.0 Whipple lol https://photos.app.goo.gl/uPZxn3rqmqzSE2B26

Pffft…the 2650 doesn’t make any noise? Someone forgot to tell Jason Leiva and his 1544 WHP ZL1 on a 2650 lol…

Agreed. If low end torque is the goal, a PD blower like Whipple or Maggie is the way.

Negative, my understanding is the Gen 4 block shares similarities with the Predator block that would make it stronger than the Gen 3 block. Hopefully someone will chime in that has researched this more to confirm.

He’s awesome! Reminds me of our beloved bearded dragon that we had to say goodbye to a few years ago. RIP Louis ♥️. Here he is hanging out with our cat Maximillian.

Guys, read up on how the government CAFE mileage requirements work. Sedans get penalized based on their overall footprint so a “decent” sedan that we’d want to drive (think Mercedes E or S Class size) means a manufacturer will have to sell many little cars to offset each bigger car to get their...

How about GT550…? See what I did there? Ok…I’ll show myself out… 😂

Nice work my man! Golden-crowned kinglet, my wife just informed me. Thanks for taking care of the little guy. 👍

Ahhh…so glad she’s back and doing well. Sounds like she had a good scare there. When cats stop eating more than one missed meal it’s ALWAYS a bad sign. Edit: forgot to post the obligatory animal pic! Here’s Sadie “helping” me make the bed 😂

Find her house and roll up in the GT500 haha

Here you go. Velgen VF5, 19x10 and 19x11. 275/35 and 295/35 Conti ECS02 tires.

I’m running these exact same wheels and tires in the exact same sizes lol! Love the setup. Also I had my set up first (just playing @larr12 lol)
