I am going to call Martin at AMS who is a great guy and see if I can hang my hat there for the day again

 

Uh oh! The shop will be closed from Nov. 2 thru Nov. 8th, we will be out of town for the SEMA show in Las Vegas.

 

Good for you guys! I hope you have a blast there !!!!!!!!!

I will locate an alternate location in the next few days - I have some good ideas !

 

Wasn't AMS closed lastime they tried to get this going? Am i the only one seeing a pattern here?

 

Dont sweat it bro - they have things to do ! We'll be just fine! Only pattern here is I am picking bad days - BUT I have a busy scheule also

 

Have you contacted the Porsche Exchange? I know thats where we do our awd dynoing when we get WRX's and such.

 

AL,

Still planning on heading over to Chicago but as I mentioned before I am going to call Dave today and get his thoughts on the GT35r kit. If he thinks it will work well then I will try to get it on the car next weekk also. TRE is doing the trans/t-case next week so the drivetrain should be rock-solid, can you get the 35r tuned during your Chicago trip? I can be there Friday, and all day Saturday. I could do a pump/dual tune or just have you tune it 100oct, I have never run anything but 100 or higher in the car.

 

The GT35 is an amazing turbo kit for sure

Personally - I am very fond of the 440 myself. I think with a full custom tune geared towards getting it to spool earlier and hearder as I did with member Propelerhead and with maxing out the ign timing and a/f ratio we can get you up near 440 whp which is about all yout stocki bottom end can take

As for the GT35 R - my thoughts are that you could really maximize that set up if you thought about changing out your rods and pistons to some upgraded units from Buschur. This would allow you to have good reliability at the 500 plus whp level that I would epect from the GT35 R on high boost and 100 octane. IMHO to take advantage of the GT35 R you need to be able to run high boost AND spin the engine at some significantly higher rpms becuase of the significant lag factor you really need at least a 8500 - 9000 red line which requires rods and pistons

Basically - when considering these two turbos - think of it like this - 440 - stock like spool up and max whp level on race fuel about 440 - maybe 420

GT35 R - significantly more turbo lag and less tq down low. Greater potential to handle higher boost levels with built motors

Personally - I might enjoy a well tuned 440 over the GT35 R on the street

It all comes down to personal preference

I can easily add you to the list for tuning and the price is only $299

Just pay pal a deposit of $100 to paypal@dynoflash.com and pick a time !

 

Al, I am also interested in the dual stage tune. You reccomend C-16 or 118 leaded, but won't the leaded race fuel mess up our O2 sensors, or even cats if people still have them? I would generally use 93 mix with 100 unleaded at the track, all their other fuels are leaded. Does the tune work better with a higher octane or does 100 work just as fine. Where would you find C-16 anyways? Also, Are you going to play with timing, or is this just a fuel tune? Sorry man, I gotta ask alot of questions.

 

We can also do it on 100 octane unleaded if you prefer - just there will be a less dramatic power gain when you are on the higher bost settings

IF YOU OCCASSIONALY - that means once in a while - use leaded fuel you will have no issues. If you CONSANTLY - that means all the time - use leaded fuel then you will have issues.

If you are more confortable with the 100 we can do that for you

Get in a deposit on either Friday night or last spot Saturday before they are taken as you're tune will take extra time - thanks

 

Thanks, I do know what OCCASSIONALY and CONSTANTLY means. As for how comfortable I feel about fuels, I don't know!? You're the expert here. Sounds like 100 is weak.

 

A sim most things there is some trade off

The leaded fuel allows you to really step on the tune but your cat and o2 sesnors will die if you use it regularly

if you intend to do it a lot just get the 100 and we can find you an extra 20 whp which you will enjoy and your 02 sensors will like better

 

Al.....I'm gonna try to get my cams installed before hand. If I do I'll be up for a custom tune. If not....I might just have to ride up and just meet up with you guys for the hell of it.

Anything special planned for Sat. night?

 

I may plan an event. Once I see how many takers we have for the chicago trip I will know what kind of budget I am working on. I gave away free through the mail flashes to all those on the last Chicago list when I could notr come in September so we'll ave to see how many of those guys are up for a custom tune

I'll post something in a week

 

Al , just tried to paypal you but the site said they're having some difficulties with the credit card processing. Will try agian later as they asked, but you can put me down for the 5pm slot or later. Thanks
