He must've been driving a Prius on his way back

 

damn it i though i fooled you. lol

 

Hey all sorry needed to take yesterday and just chill and get my wifes to do list finished up. Wow oh wow i love this SC. The car ran like a champ. 2300 miles in 24.5 hrs only stoping to gas p and buy redbull. No i did not even stop to eat. So that should speek to the drivability and endurance. I also drove through 5.5 hrs of heavy and i do mean heavy rain. No issues with the intake location so that should put some fears to rest. This thing has ***** and I love it.


The Car is at the dealers right now getting a tranny flush and service. Only 3things I have notice so far. First the Camp 2 was installed and now the GPS does not work. This is a simple fix with adding a couple switches and Sam is getting the correct info for me so I can do this. Second was today when the car was up on the hoist the oil filter had come a bit loose and there was a small very small oil leak. This again is not a big deal and no a real issues in my books. The 3rd thing was that the car started very hard after hard driving and then letting it sit and heat soak. Again I just told Sam about this 20mins ago and he is getting my the reflash to take care of this so again not an issue.


Over all very happy with this move and might see about getting the PSI up a bit more once i see how my tranny handels the extra power. I have a loaner G37 coupe right now and let mwe tell you it is so awsome to see how much extra power i really do have. I got in the loaner and went to step on it and it was like i was in a honda. lol


Pics and vids to come. the car is really dirty right now and stoill not washed from the trip. it should be washed today will get some vids and pics tomorrow at the edmonton mini meet.

 

Cool stuff man! Glad you're enjoying it! What is your nav doing?

 

That's awesome shumby, glad it worked out. Are you worried about the auto tranny handling the added power? 400whp is not bad at all. I bet it's fun and cool to notice a difference between yours and the stock loaner car.

 

any shops in houston or the TEXAS area doing GTM installs???

 

I'd check with JTran Studios or PowerFab. I'd bet that either will install and tune it. I can't recommend either personally but you can search and find reviews of their work. Or talk to actual owners whose cars they've worked on.

 

yea i know fernando got his TT installed at jtran...they look like they do quality work and he was really satisfied with them...just hate to be a guinea pig know wat i mean? rather them work on a few 3.7s first before mine heheheh

 

Yes - inquiring minds!

How many miles did you get on a tank with your regular driving before vs. after. I realize you may not know yet, but please respond when you do.

 

thanks for the pics!

 

Can the M/T hold up with this setup?

 

The manual transmissions in our cars are very stout. Aside from a new aftermarket clutch, there isn't really anything else you need to do.

It will hold up just fine.

 

Mine is doing just fine. 13k miles on it

 

It's all based on driving habits. A stock clutch will hold longer in a supercharged vehicle then a car that has a turbo kit. If you have a heavy foot, the stock clutch won't be able to handle the torque.

 

Thanks. This might be way way down the line for me. Just wasn't sure if I had to do anything with the manual tranny. I'd like to see some 1/4 mile numbers with this setup to see how much it improves the time.
