Yea it will sound even better when its fully tuned. Once i put the 3port soldnoid on (before all the tuning started) I set my Wastegate duty cycle tables to 0 so i wont over boost. Ever since then the sound of the turbo and intake have been really quiet. I did another data log today, my tuner said we are almost done the MAF scaling and might be able to get the injectors back in today, depending how the next log or two goes.

AMS SS Brake lines and Motul 600 fluid went in today. Defently a huge difference in the brake peddle..i love it. We are still working on my WOT tuning, im at 336awhp right now...another 100hp to go..lol.

Snake, what engine oil are you using?

Royal Purple 5W30 Synthetic. Still got alot of tuning to do but the car is currently at 355hp 336trq

Word, thanks.

I'm kind of on the fence as to whether to use Royal Purple/ Castrol like I have been or go with some expensive **** like Motul considering most of my driving is done racing.

Yea i got no complaints with it. A few people in the Evo world hate royal purple and said they had it burn oil. I changed mine 2000km's ago, switched from oem (Mobile1) to RP and its at the same level, even with the new turbo. On top of that, the place i get the oil from, i get military discount :D

I also ran RP in my SRT-10 for about 20,000km and no complaints.

Just past the 400whp mark :D I made 401hp 363trq today...still got more tuning to do :D I tried my 2 step launch control. The stock clutch cant handle it. It can hold me but it heats up to a point where i wont grab when i shift to 2nd.

Heres the latest dyno results. Just a few more adjustments to make to smooth the boost and afr out. But its pretty much where i want it for power on the stock block.

Also here is the Perrin Rear Sway bar and endlink. Never got a picture when i installed it and i was doing a few adjustments the other day so i snapped a picture.

And I have one more part coming. The other week we got a pretty nasty snow storm which somehow ripped off the oem plastic under panel. So i orderd the SSP Aluminum panel. Next friday is the opening night of drag racing but it might be raining. Saturday is the opening day of Time Attack racing and thats rain or shine so ill defently be putting the car to the test.

Looks awesome, Snake. Definitely get videos at the Time Attack.

The little clutch that couldnt....

clutch started slipping the other day. I'm ordering...

ACT heavy Duty 6 puck clutch kit
ACT Streetlite Flywheel
Magnus CMC

Until i get those installed, drag racing and time attack is on hold for me :( Sucks because i paid $160 for this weekends race and its non-refundable. I'm hoping someone will buy my spot from me.

So i went to the opening time attack event today. I had 2 goals...

1. Not crash or blow the car up
2. Have a lap time of 68.9 or quicker.

I completed both of my goals. My fastest lap was 67.9. I came in 2nd place in my class and 3rd place overall. In my run group was a 05 Viper with headers, midpipe, exhaust, tb and a tune. There was also a 09 Viper ACR and a Corvette, not sure of the year or mods on the vette. Although the Viper ACR had more of a street tire on so he went in the class below me and the 05 Viper with its mods moved to Race Class.

Heres how it broke down...

1st session = Passed the 05 Viper (yellow)
2nd Session = Passed the Corvette
3rd Session = Passed the 05 Viper again
4th Session = i skipped to eat
5th Session = Was about to pass the Viper ACR but got fuel starvation since i had just over 1/4 of a tank. (im planning on buying a anti surge fuel system)

Me = 67.9
05 Viper = 69.3
Viper ACR 69.5
Corvette = unknown (im waiting for the results to be posted on the forums and ill post a pic of it)

Heres 2 quick pictures. The blue evo is my buddy Sean. He was running slicks for the first time. Since he was taking it easy he only ran 67.1.

I'll upload videos as soon as they finish uploading. I'm trying to edit them to cut the size down.

Overall my car ran pretty good. Something is funky with the tune. My tuner keeps saying its my clutch slipping when i hit boost but anyone that goes for a drive in my car says its the tune. Other than that, i need new tires and brakes. Coming into turn 2 at 180-190kmh and slamming the brakes at full force just wasnt doing the job. I need something more aggressive and that wont feel so soft. My tires are pretty warn out already so i wasnt getting the best traction around the turns. I have a perrin rear sway bar set to the middle setting, im going to set it to full soft. I was getting to much oversteer for my liking.

I'm picking up a set of Enkie PF01's (18x9.5) next week from my buddy. Still deciding what rubber i want to put on it. As well as either ordering a new clutch set up or my brake setup.
