Thank you.

 

Never noticed Sam had the Kenny sticker on it :cool::cool:

 

First thing I said to Sam when we put it in my garage.

 

Lookin foward to seeing this beast this week

 

Ditto. I forgot to get the BOV brand/info for you when I was back out in the garage. Until I get it for you or Sam reads this...

 

It's new-looking and shiny. :p

I have a video of a 138mph pass on an eaaaaassyyyy launch.

 

Sam would have to answer what he was or wasn't boosting that day.

If I remember, it was 19-20# of boost. I have seen 22# a few times. It needs a trans brake to get it to launch alil better. I was just foot braking it.

 

 

 

I think this was the best pass. I cant see what it is or remember. It looks like a 10 sec one.

 

More action video. I never turned the car up on the street. All races were done on wastegate which is 13#.

Looked for the tech thread and couldn't find it... Anyone check the torque of the lower intake manifold bolts? Could be a vacuum leak there- disconnect the tps (should put it in closed loop IIRC) and spray some carb cleaner. Also check the chassis grounds- especially the MAF sensor ground.

 

I want this but I am in about the same boat as you- I hardly drive my fun car at all anymore- well I didn't drive it that much to begin with as I bought it a few weeks before we found out were pregnant with number one- and I already have 3 cars and a 2 car garage.

I wish I had the money because I would buy it, I highly doubt you would like to trade for a notch with a cage and other good stuff

 

Ya never know. Shoot me some info / pics. nurkvinny@yahoo.com

Thanks, I'll check those things out. I thought about pulling the upper off because it would make it sooo much easier to look on rear of motor for vacuum leaks (and intake gasket leaks).

 

badass car, whats used to tune it?

 

Dynotune Motorsports, I think. :)

LOL at the bimmer getting tossed around the pataskala area. Its safe man, no worries. Just put good gas in it and let it eat. You wont be disappointed.

 

When I pulled out of Dan's neighborhood, went 1.nothing miles and was passing your house, "Pataskala Whore" popped in my head.

 

I had to do a lot of soul searching late last night, but in the end, I can tinker with the fox, take some family in it, yadda, yadda.
