40 RWHP@ 6psi not 50+ (This dyno sheet isnt like any of the 15 I have. lol) my fault.
same dyno, same day, less than an hour between the first 3 runs, CF install, last three runs, these are the best of each run, with each run gaining more and more hp





I am guessing 100rwhp at 22psi on my set up with the AL CF DS, they should ship out today or tomorrow BTW, deposits were ran on ThursdayFriday, balance will be ran today or tomorrow.

my car just got the meth and super upgrades.

we estimate 650-700 rwhp. I will with out a doubt do before and after CF DS runs, I am also doing solid rear bushings soon. (cheaper install on DS if do the bushings which includes removal of the DS anyways)

I bet ill make at least 100rwhp from this mod. I quoted above.

my buddy who did this 5 years ago said...

my low boost became high boost
my high boost became undriveable
look up the screen name ibkarlito or go to the hills garage dot net customer cars (MISTRESS) this car had nothing spared in upgrades and quality parts. my inspiration for building.
Brah your not gonna see 650-700 rwhp on 93 pump fuel...

I knew the CF one would be ok but there was some pending question on the AL one. I should have been more specific.

^ yeah I hear the AL DS are less for giving meaning a bit more vibration and more stress on the rear?


According the belt shredding after 7300 rpms....looks like physical limitations will keep the car to about 560 running the 2.62 pulley, the 2.87 eats belts. So meth should add close to 100RWHP so 650 is the more realistic number tonight.

then the CF driveshaft will add whatever it adds....then performance is done, on to suspension, light mod suspension. I do just fine without coil overs.

Are they going to keep building these after the GB? I want one but don't have the funds right now, it will be a few months.

Yes, now that the blueprinted one that went to Hills, see dyno above, there is no need to swap out your old one. the price is a bit more because of that but hey... CF and AL ends weighing in at the same weight as a LW flywheel is just awesome goodness!

yeah, they're gonna stop making the previous cf w/steel ended/yoked one and switch to the cf aluminum ended/yoked units. also raising the retail from $1195 to the $1400-$1500 range.

HOPE to have mine installed this Friday

Mark if you can weigh both shafts so we know the weight difference. I will do the same when I receive the aluminum one in a week or so.
