Also, I would SO run an open downpipe on that thing

Open downpipe dyno coming soon What do you guys think? How much more power will she make with no puny exhaust to push through? I am betting/hoping for 20whp gain with open dp.

Even if you dont make the power at the dyno, you take it for a spin and it feels like a whole different beast, the engine revs really free. For me, the best exhaust is NO exhaust lol, thats why I got a cutout.

How about a new dyno with a 8500 rev limit.

no valve springs. I don't know how high the VET cams can rev so I don't wanna push it. I wanna make awesome midrange power. If I have to rev over 8k to make 500whp then it isn't the kind of powerband I want imo.

What did Andy trap at?

118 on his 11.8 run and 116 on his 12.1. Nice eh?

More plans for the car coming.

Wheels and suspension are being looked at now. Just looking for a good deal. The lightweight flywheel is going back in, though I may just trade it for a fidanza. I have a set of springs for the car, but no struts yet.

I will be setting up an oil catch can too. I need to take care of the excessive blowby under boost and venting to atmosphere isn't helping anything. It may free up some more power as well.

I am also looking at a different manifold. The log has seen it's time, but when I take it off to replace my leaking DE exhaust gasket I will not be putting it back on. So the torch will be passed to someone else this tax return season.

hmm will be very interested to see your results

i am changing my manifold set up soon. even toying with the idea of modifying a standard vet manifold to suit t3 and ex gate, but not sure if it will flow what i want. Will prob end up making a custom steampipe unit

hey coheed did you end up deciding on a manifold?

also do you still have the standard cams? would be interesting to see vet vs ve vs 16ve with a tubular manifold all on the same set up
