Boosted 350's come on in!

[NTB]

GT350 shafts are an upgrade for regular GTs that are naturally aspirated. I am getting them for my GT just to give a bit more peace of mind at the strip. I don't plan on FI or even bolt-ons so I really don't need the DSS units. I am sure you could find a local buyer for yours if you choose to.

I'm going to list my stock shafts in the classifieds,if anyone is in the market let me know.

To the ones who already are boost'd, anyone running a flex fuel tune ? I live in CT where there is no e85 available at all, but I'm thinking maybe ill just order a 55gal drum of it and run it when I can and be safe to mix with 93. I know ill be happy with just 93, but seeing the extra oompf these motors love with e85 is so tempting. Its either I run a flex tune with e85 or do a meth kit. I personally feel way safer with an e85 flex tune just because I have had personal experience with how easy one mistake in the meth system and BOOM

Yes to the flex fuel setup, it was part of my Fathouse TT build. E85, 93 octane, or any combination of both.

@NTB , I've definitely watched your car on their youtube channel plenty of times, beautiful build congrats. I understand the flex tune isn't gonna give the same amount of full power/numbers as a e85 only tune, but seeing as I would be mixed majority of the time compared to only e85 i'd be safer with a flex tune. Is the difference noticeably worth it for you ? Also, I know your car is a full build pretty much, but is fine to run on stock pumps/system or do you need to change the fuel system to run any e85 at all ?

Any results ?
Or did you mean this coming Friday ?

Yes I made multiple runs with fuel from 700-765RWHP. Settled on a milder tune on pump 93 for 721rwhp.

Holy shit it really woke this thing up. Runs GREAT. Your can easily go into a dead spin at 120mph. Amazing.

strange that procharger recommended the p1x to the OP and the d1x to madlag. maybe it depends on who you talk to there.

Yea I thought this too. Especially since the kits you can buy now built for the 350 are all d1x.

Since I have gotten the car back home the weather and roads have not been friendly for any kind of high speed driving, so I can't really comment on the power. The Motec has a feature that "detects the exact ethanol percentage and adjusts the power accordingly". It's one of the features that really impressed me. No more pumping out one type of fuel, adding the other fuel, then changing the tune. No changing pumps or any other fuel system parts. I have other cars that require all the above when changing from 93 to E114/E85 and while not impossible it can be a pain.

@madlag Do you have any dyno charts? I'm Curious about power and boost levels and the torque curve?

I’ll log some data tomorrow and post it up.

Were you able to get those logs?

Finally got the updated firmware’ and new soft ware from whipple .
It now allows guardian, performance and Valet modes adjustment with the tomahawk tool .
On the performance mode it looks like it will allow adding (or subtracting ) up to 8*
Unfortunately roads are too cold to try and do any testing so I will get back ont be dyno .
Last time out (and on the street ) I see up to 19* but knock sensors are quiet .
I wonder how much I should add for MS109 ?
The adjustments are in increments (or decrements) of 0.8.

I know it says “valet” but that’s the performance mode .
The “valet “ mode has options to limit power (1-2)
I am so excited so I went out and made some quick hits in 33 degree temp !
Left traction control on and mostly third gear .
I was able to get up to 5500.
Spark adjust left at zero .
Looks like they lowered the “baseline “ as only saw 15-16 vs 17-19 I was seeing before with same 1/2 gallon of 93 with a can of boostane in the tank .
I may start or with + 4.8 spark adjust when I run it on the dyno with Ms109.
I will start off with the 3.75 then drop to a 3.625 .
Goal is mid to high 800’s at the wheel .

Interesting. Whipple's tune gives you some nice options. Their tunes also seems to be on par with any of the aftermarket guys.

Thanks

I have been hounding them for months . Lol
I even got them to consider a flex tune like they are about to release for the 18-19’s.
Don’t think it will happen since there not enough of us .
Just email whipple support with your VIN and they will send you the new file which includes the firmware and time update .

You delete the old file on the SD card and download the new one.

For those of you with superchargers on your GT350’s:
Have there been any issues due to boost ? How are motors holding up? Did you install on an otherwise 100% stock car? Did you install the complete kit or go tuner kit?

I think we can all learn a lot if you all would be willing to share and discuss. Appreciate hearing from you!
