I actually printed it out and put it in that binder. But the truth is, I have the laptop with me as well and I guess I could have saved tree's and not printed it out. But then again, its easier to flip pages without having to worry about getting oil all over the laptop, LOL.

Additionally, I have GTM's HD oil cooler but I'm not at that part yet where we relocate the cooler. More on that a bit later.

I will probably printout the instructions at work and put them in a binder like you did, much easier than dealing with a laptop when you are all greasy.

did sam email you his intructions? they weren't in the box, i am still waiting on box 3 and 4 with the oil cooler and test pipes in it though. maybe its with them. at this point there is no hurry as the car is out of town now till the end of october.

danny out of curiosity what stage did you order and what model charger did you get?

DannyGT 09-06-2010 11:21 AM

He will give you a link to the instructions (pdf) and then you can follow them off a laptop or just print it out.

charger is a c38-81 I believe. I know on the unit itself it's engraved c38

Sam

Glad to see you are answering. Thanks for the info, but you said nothing about whether the stage 1 unit could flow enough to make use of a high flowing exhaust. I guess it's meant for the guys who want CARB certification since they can't run exhaust anyway, they might as well run a small compressor for the low end boost.

I can't wait to see what kinda of power DannyGT makes on it.

Been moving and finally had a chance to catch up on this thread. Danny, this looks like a great kit. Can't wait to see more!

Not right now, Im leaning towards GTM but if they both work good and are about the same then its which ever I can get cheaper.

Let me tell ya guys, I drive with a current member on the forum that owns a GTM SC kit and this thing is a fucl<in rocket. The weird thing is this kit sounds like it has BOV's 2 or 3 times louder than the twin's for sure, no joke. Having Sam's support 100% of the way makes this SC option a no brainer. Plus your engine bay stays looking OEM and not like a 5.0 Mustang.

The fact is this guys, no one has come close to their claims (Stillen's)...period. Those that have, had more mods done and STILL fell short of the advertised claims. Maybe someone messed with the dyno, who knows. Let’s not even bring up RCZ’s car…Custom tuned by a super aggressive tuner amongst other things.

Anyway - those that have the GTM kit are running flawlessly. Shumby, with his fine example of already achieving the numbers of the low power numbered Stillen kits out there with ONLY 6psi, has the most important thing of all, drivability.

That’s what sets apart real tuners....They can [try to] make more HP than the GTM kit but so far the drivability aspect of their tunes is a ******* joke. When you look at both tuners its clear both pushed the kits to the limit, and no one will get those numbers. I sure don’t expect to get 460whp. GTM has a few dyno sheets showing power ranging from 420-460. But their advertised hp claim shows they except, with a safe tune, to be in the 410-430 range. I do know for a fact that I will be in the 410-430whp range, and even more so with water injection/custom tune. My goal even before I bought the SC was strictly to hit 420whp. I know I can hit this with no fancy tune.

I’ll tell you, it’s been a great experience doing this install, and I have to say that GTM is 95% perfect with their instructions. I will be making edit’s to the document so that anyone else tackling this, being it pro or not, can have that much more specificity.

shumby 09-08-2010 11:34 PM

^^^ what he said. Plus I (shumby) have over 7000 miles on it now with no issues. Plus I have a 2300 mile in 24hrs trip unterthe belt too. that alone should tell you about the durability of this system

Shumby had a custom in person tune. Has any of the few GTM customers there are so far used a "canned" tune?
