Picked up 40rwkw today

andrewxr8 · 01-11-2007, 08:59 PM

After dithering for so long about modifying the GT, finally went and did the deal. Upshot, an extra 40rwkw. Holy crap Batman, what a difference. The bum-o-meter can certainly feel the difference. Can't figure out what I'm enjoying more, the newfound grunt or the absolutely beautiful induction noise.

So George and Kelvin, I'll be seeing you both at the next dino day! BWAHA BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ali from BTA and Chris from Blue Power, thank you both. Absolute professionalism from start to finish.

Hi Andrew,

Well well well, you finally joined the ranks of the de-tuned GT's.

Glad your happy with the choice, and the car is hauling as you wanted.

What figures did the car go in and come out with?

Any plans to put the HP on the tarmac and get an ET???

Cheers

Had CAI and CAPA custom tune done today. Previousely had headers and exhaust done. Went in with 237.6 and came away with 276.8. Prior to this work (CAPA and CAI) the car had been Dyno'd at 267.1!!!!!!! Won't open that can of worms.

As far as testing it and me on the 1/4 mile, no. Car would probably do all right, I'd most likely embarrass myself.

Andrew,

When you planning to run the car down WSID? Will come out and have a looksee...

Don't worry about ET or launch so much, the MPH will come through and show the cars performance. That's the best thing about time over rollers...

Cheers
