Picking up the Stage 2 Vert from GTM!

Kirkster

Conservatively... Yea... Give him 6 or 8 months for that "conservatively" to kick in. I know I am still not at "conservatively" yet.

Maybe he could just give us a tank of gas at 70mph...

Just an FYI, while the car is in Colorado it may run a bit hotter than normal. I don't know if its the lower density air or the lack of humidity but engines run a bit warmer than average here.

I really love the sound. Is the whine as noticeable in real life as it is in the video? and... that BOV WOW.

Have pretty much stayed out of it for the trip. I jus drove a constant 70-80. However, OAT's have been high, density altitude has been high and I'm pulling mountains. So we are in Denver now, so we will check the milage on flat ground. I have been running a very high oil temp at times. In the 240-255 range. I want to see what happens when I'm not climbing hills.


See post above but the temps have been running on average 100 F outside. No extra vibration while driving really. Just pure enjoyment to drive!

Sam has one he is working on that I got to see first hand. It is a work of art. I will be going this route next year.

Agreed


All in all, sam and the crew at GTM are top notch in my book. Even though I was a pain in SAMs azz at times, he remained professional at all times and that professionalism carries over into their work. I am very impressed with this kit and the quality that went into it. Sam and GTM will continue to have my business as far as I'm concerned.

jezzz, you're making way better fuel mileage than me, and I'm making way less power than you lol. Last long trip I took i made 298 miles on The whole tank driving normally.

The odd thing is my fuel computer is WAY off. Every time I fill up, my range to empty is around 606-610 to empty. It was not like that prior to the SC. Don't really know why. But I know I will not see that out of a tank even if I pushed the car for a hundred miles first. Trying to race hail storms here in Kansas. Don't really want to get caught up in that. 1187 miles so far.

Ouch. I have been refueling around 260-280 miles and still have over a quarter of a tank.

The fuel thing has something to do with it reading the pulse from the injectors. Now that you have changed them to something bigger the readings will be off.

Ummmmmmm........ Y'all know I'm joking. You can take my Supercharger when they pry my cold dead fingers of off it.

dixon cider

Well, I did JUST pick mine up. I will keep an eye on it.

Haha, my car averages 30+mpg sometimes according to my "fuel computer"...then reality sets in when I'm on empty at 250 miles.

Someday, I hope to have you build my roadster.



Dixon- Congrats!!! You're a boostaholic now for sure.

When I get hame and not have to worry about the drive home. I'd like to know what happened if you wouldn't mind telling about it.
