    I'd like to see the car run, but even when he is defending himself and his company, he is still arrogant as fuck. I think that's the biggest reason people want to see him fail. And he said it ran last September, I didn't know it ran since it went to his shop.

     

    Starting and idling is a far cry from "running" as any car guy would be concenred.

    It may be an automatic however it's an 8 speed hybrid with a torque converter 1st gear then a hydraulic clutch 2-8 which means using the paddle shifters is shifts as quick as a be GTR.

     

    The alpine white is not for all but I think if I make sure I clean it every week and sit on a towel when I'm wearing jeans I don't think it should be that bad. I do need to give it a good cleaning and then seal it shortly.

     

    So, its an automatic. :dumb:

    2002 Sportster 1200 Custom, with 5000 miles

    Lots of extra factory chrome parts. In addition it will come with original front spoke wheel, forks, windshield, seat, chain guard, handle bar, and

    a new helmet.

     

    Adult driven and maintained. Asking $5900.00 no trades if they ask or money off for stuff they don't want. When I say its MINT, I mean MINT. It may be cleaner than new off the showroom floor.

     

    PM for pics-I will try to get them up when I am back in town next week. God save Miami!

  21. THE COLT v2.0

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    Small update. tried to do some IM testing and it turned out to be just a LONG night. Reason? The stock Colt Clutch Master gets int he way of EVERYTHING-I forgot how much room putting it IN the car gave me!

     

    Took forever to swap, found a leaky injector seal that had to be fixed and then the car retested-when it was all said and done I only made test pulls @ 19psi, and 24psi. It was such a pain in my ass I doubt I will ever do any more testing like this.

     

     

    I did make some good observations though.

     

    Stock Vs Venom, both on stock TBs

     

    1)The Kelfods are a MUCH better top end Cam than the Comp101200s. No back to back, but looking at old dynos of cars I have tuned, the power band was still climbing at 8k, with BOTH manifolds!

     

    2) The stock IM kicks ass below 6500. At any boost level, the car did not make more power until after 6400. Also, at 19psi power did not fall off at 8k with the stock IM-the Kelfords are keeping the band nice and flat. Would this be different with 40psi? Maybe, but I doubt it. Would this be better with a differing IM? Maybe-but at this point I TRULY feel that if you do not go north of 8000rpm or north of 500whp, the stock IM, IMO, is the bets manifold for the job. Any turbo, any power level.

     

    3) at 19psi, BOTH manifolds were within 5hp- stock at 445, Venom at 450-but the Venom had a much later peak and the stock IM had better power under the curve. At 24 Psi the stock IM Saw 484whp and the Venom made 507. This was with no additional tuning-11.0 AFRs on a pump/E85 mix. As the boost goes up, the Venom starts shining. I would attribute this to the plenum volume, and shorter runners which lend themselves for high RPM airflow.

     

    On the street-the loss of low end torque is evident with the SMIM. Some I am sure could be gained back with tuning, but it is a totally different car-much, much less"torquey" off boost.

     

    Conclusion-

     

    The stock IM really did impress me, and I truly feel any car with power goals around 500whp, or a redline south of 8k really may be better off with it. The car had more "fun" factor on the street with the stock IM, and the powerband showed it. The Kelfods carried the power great to 8k even with the stock IM at mild boost. With a higher redline though, and loft power goals, a SMIC should still be on your list of needed parts-but I feel a good cam should be first on the list.

     

     

    Big thanks to Eric@ Backstreet performance for allowing us to use the dyno!
