^^^ holy crap ... are you serious? what kinda numbers are you expecting?

i know you said its being built in PA, but i'm assuming it's being tuned in CO since thats the reason you built it anyways (high altitude power). where will it be dynoed?

We're going to tune it in PA first and make a few 1/4 runs at sea level. Then it will be shipped back to CO towards the end of August to be tuned for altitude. We'll have dyno information from both PA and CO. It should be interesting to compare the two.

hey man, i saw the car yesterday and roberto explained a little bit how things were supposed to work. all i can say is that he know his stuff, he said when you guys tried the car to see if everything was working that even on the old tune it felt like a racing game. roberto is a very nice guy, it was really nice talking to him. he knows the autronic really good, i think i am going to get the pnp and have him tune the car since he is like 20 min from me.

congratulations man, everything looks good the car is almost there (he was installing the dogbox gears when i was there), that thing is going to be sick and a blast to drive, good luck with everything.

by the way how did the car drive with the pnp on the 3240 turbo, i know you made the power but how was the idle, low throttle, air conditioner and so... Thanks.

I'm glad that you liked the car. Bert's a great guy and a very talented engineer.

I really like the Autronic. I ran the car for about one year using the Autronic and had very few driveability issues. The only problem that I had was the fact that it was difficult to start on cold days. I'm sure that Bert could have fixed this problem but I knew wewere going to be starting from scratch anyways. I highly recommend the Autronic especially if Bert is doing your tuning. Good luck with your decision.

Holy crap that was alot of reading, but it was worth it. That's alot of plumbing. Could you give an estimate on how much this setup weighs?

We'll weigh it at the track next week. It's added some considerable weight, the supercharger alone is very heavy. Weight is the big downside to this setup so far but it's nothing that a little horsepower can't take care of.
