SOM 2.4L + FP 6466tz
The long wait for my trans to get back from TMZ was over. Spec-Ops Motorsports put the trans in, I redid the fuel system, and Friday night it hit the rollers with a new larger hotside on the FP 6466TZ. The larger hotside made the same numbers on the dyno, but on a conservative tune with lower boost, than it was making on higher boost and closer to kill mode tune. Left it there and hit the track an hour later.
Drove to the track, swapped the tires, and first run ran a new PB of 9.8. SCORE! Ended the night with two more PBs, both 9.7's.
Next day, Saturday, we decided to go to Rockingham for test and tune, an hour away. SOM loaded my car in the trailer, and we went down in their RV. Based on the day before, I wanted more power out of the hole. Matt pushed some buttons and I was making double the boost at the line. Sadly, prep was not quite as good. The good news, I no longer needed to ride the clutch to stay in power. After a shakedown pass on the new 2-step, I ran another PB of 9.6 @ 152mph. Adjusted the chassis/tires and ran a 9.5 @ 149mph. The car kept getting faster every pass for 2 days. At last call for TNT, we finally decided to up the power since the car felt setup and solid. Felt like it was on the way to a high 9.3 and the clutch let go in middle of 4th gear with the added power, coasted to 9.8 @126mph.
Huge thanks to SOM, as always. For the great service, great performance, a 3 year old 2.4L that's doing things no 2.4 should, and of course the friendship. Also, a thank you to Forced Performance for their great products, and my new transmission builder who will get ALL future transmission work, Tim Zimmer at TMZ. I've used all the big names, and he is top notch both personally and professionally.
Can't wait to turn the wick up, and not to mention throw the Magnus intake manifold on the car in the future. For those who know my car, it is still the tagged/insured street car it has always been, not even an O2 dump

4.11 fd, oem 4th gear.
Not sure on rpm, believe there's a good bit left. Something wrong with the car giving me a violent shake in 4th gear that we have to figure out.
When I'm able to stay in it through 4th gear, I'll let you know what the logs say and what mph it traps.
