The temp gauge is for my transmission fluid.

 

Alright thank you for the much needed advice

 

Finished up the install, putting the belt on with the GTM pulley was a little tough, but it's nice and tight with no squealing when turning the car on. Haven't noticed any types of leaks, looks to be all good .

All that's left is cleaning everything up and putting the bumper back on.

 

Are you tuned at all yet? What numbers are you putting down?

 

Dang got it together with the quickness Fab. When you heading over to Churches?

 

I ran into a couple little problems along the way which slowed things down a bit, but I'm glad I was able to finish *pats self on back*, haha. Yup, I plan on going back to Church's on Tuesday. I'll give him a call tomorrow morning and see if he's available, but I doubt it since it's a holiday.

Yeah, I'm already tuned with Osiris. Last time I was tuned at Church's, I was at like 292 hp 255 tq on his dynapack, I can't remember exactly. He should still have my previous dyno runs on file, so I'll have something to compare to after I get the Vortech tuned.

 

Wow crazy fast assembly Fab. Cant wait for the tuesday update. BTW, are you running you going to run your ART pipes with the vortech?

 

Thanks man. Yeah. ART pipes are staying on.

 

Congrats on the install! Looks real nice from the pictures, like the polished mounting plate! You will definitely enjoy your new found power - interested in your final numbers and how that compares to your set-up prior

Congrats again!! Enjoy!!

 

That STRAFE polished replacement pipe is looking proper...

 

^ Yeah it's a really clean piece.

Thanks man. I can't wait for tomorrow, just made my appointment at 3.

 

how'd the retune go?

 

Looking very nice brother.

 

^ Thanks Danny .

Just got home a little while ago. Car feels great and is a little louder than I anticipated, it almost drowns out my exhaust, haha.

Here are the sheets:





The stock MAF maxed out at 378/333. Shawn was telling me that if I upgraded the MAF, I'd be able to get about .5 psi and 30 hp more. But since that power will just be in the top end, I don't think it necessary for my driving style.

My psi is that low with the 3.12 pulley due to my exhaust and ART pipes. Although I can push the car more, Shawn tuned it so it'll be safe in the long run. If I were to upgrade anything, it'd be just running the 2.87 pulley to get into boost sooner and shift the power band to the lower rpm's.
