I dont think so-different build-his car is working well and was built right- he just needs to turn the wick up. It's a lot easier for me to make magic at the track since I am the one tuning the car. I think SloMo does his tuning-if something is amiss then its hard to troubleshoot shit you have little control of.
Thanks man. Yeah the car would really benefit form a diff and a real tire-I was on 22x8 6 year old slicks that were beyond sketchy. Wait till you see the pics...LOL I think I was 7.4@103 in the 8th. LOT of room for improvement there.
HONEST investment? Everything besides the turbo set up I had laying around-and through trades/part outs realistically I don't have $ in, just time. Even the shell was a trade!
But you can replicate it for 4k with ease, less depending on what kind of deals you get on the Shell/turbo/DSM link. And-you'd have to be able to build/tune the car yourself. I built the motor from good parts of old broken motors-all used. Zero machine work- hell I used the rings that were on the pistons! :lolguy:
The main bits-
Shell
Rebuild-able motor
used Pistons/Rods
Head-stock
Cheap 272 Cams
DSM harness/ECU/DSMlink
DSM stock FWD trans
China intercooler
Junkyard Audi Radiator
DYI pipes/exhaust
Old Venom Intake Manifold/stock TB
Used 780 or 880's (I honestly don't remember what they are-Temp injectors)
one used 255
The bling Shearer Manifold can be sub'd for a China T3, but I got a killer deal on it-about what you would buy a China T3 and Used PTE6262 for.
Throw in a set of rod bearings and a Gasket kit-and that's literally it. I can probably make the same power with mid 20's boost once I an on the dyno with speed density, and fuel for E85-but I am happy for the season.
