Nope, yours will be whisper quiet mainly. You'll be able to surprise people- I won't LOL.

mikes rx

two things that surprise me:

#1: 100% stock is not-so-much anymore
#2: he has LED license plate bulbs

But, he does have good information sometimes.

TacoBill

Doh!
I thought that was one of your older Vortech pulls on the dyno. You'd figure I'd pay attention to the engine bay!

tom281

Nah dude, that's from this morning.

BTW, anyone know what happened to Tom1 (89trooper)???

He used to post here all the time. Maybe he's become more of a reader-only like me. Or...he's having too much fun with the turbo vert

TacoBill

I talked to him last week on the phone. He's doing good, just with his new position at work, he can't surf on the net as much like us slugs.

As far as his car, he told me that he has a minor exhaust leak that has to get fixed before driving it. Other than that, the turbo seems to be functioning okay.

I think we've all been there once or twice...



That's some funny stuff.

StangMahn

HOLY CRAP! That body torque is crazy! And great new avatar!



That's one of the funniest things Ive seen in a while!


I think he got a job promotion? He's been pretty busy if I recall correctly. I would be having to much fun with the turbo vert if it was me.

Tom281 - = dyno pull. and +1 on the new avatar. Jed started a trend

tom281

Thanks for all of the compliments guys..... and regarding the avatar, that is courtesy of my new found pal, Jed.

Thinking ahead...

Should I get a 'supercharged' emblem under the GT badging on the fender? I don't have a pic, but you guys know what I'm talking about.

Yay.. nay??

LEO_06GT

I say put it on the shaker scoop like DonW.

tom281

Along those same lines, I think I'm gonna go with the blue Roush scoop, and maybe white "supercharged" decals on the side of it. All I know is that the plain factory hood ain't gonna cut it.... and I don't think I'm gonna do a new hood this year so the Roush scoop may get the nod.

TacoBill

That means I'll have to loose my '281' emblem.

Maybe I'll just go stealth and have people think I have a noisy power steering pump.



I was seriously considering the Roush scoop back in the pre-Shaker days.

habu

I want to get a silouette of the twin rotors and replace the GT on the faux gas cap. It'll be the only warning anyone gets.

tom281

Well I ordered the Roush scoop...... prepainted for <$250 delivered.

Guess you made up your mind what hood to go with for at least a little while...Congrats!! Looking forward to seeing your car at Brenspeeds on Friday!!

TacoBill

Haven't seen that one before, got a pic of one?



Good deal! Will you be striping it? Read scoops are PITA to stripe, but doable.



Dang Tom, how long is Brent keeping your car? I thought the final tuning was today.

Superfly SN95

Bill. I say: keep it sleeper. Although, it would not look bad under the gt emblem. Basically, do you want to warn them? Haha

JonCo

Wow, sounds GREAT! BTW were you able to pull any old dyno sheets from the voretch kit i/c'd?


Something like that. Minus the rice. Haha

Think is possible to get a larger/smaller(louder) blow-off vavle. I know Paxton uses two, right?


I think I want to advertise some. Simple. Something like the picture below maybe. What do you think?

Not sure if I mentioned it or not. But hood pins ordered. Hopefully installed next week. Ordered the "flat" PJ style hood pins. I think they looked the best IMO. Dont care for the $100 set after seeing some hi-res pictures of them. Too bulky.
