Many many many thanks to Zack... here is a member that would fly to TEXAS to help another member out. I sure couldnt have done it without him. We had a blast this weekend. He is a truly top notch guy and is nothing but a big black haired teddy bear. I owe a lot to him.

He finished some stuff in record time!

j-mod - 45 min
gt-40 pump - 45 min
kooks - a couple of hours (not days)
being a jerk - 2 1/2 days

Looks great, bro. When is the dyno tune?

[-Matt-]

i dont know yet.... have to find a tuner i trust

[Phrog_gunner]

I know what you mean, I really want this super ghey wing off of my car, but don't trust anyone to touch it.

[MMBLUE]

Life isnt always about the money

You're right, but its nice to know how much it costs to go fast doing it.

[LANDY]

nice job guys, im guessing big numbers are coming soon.

[-Matt-]

You're right, but its nice to know how much it costs to go fast doing it.


Its costs MUCH

every little thing adds up.

After the powder coating, built rear end, supercharger, headers, and the many extras im probably around the 7500 mark

[DOOM]

Impressve!!! :2thumbs:

Looks like you guys had alot of fun!

:congrats:

:welcome: to the world of boost! :burnout:

Very, very nice. enjoy and happy Maraudering.

[ntd]

looks really good I just finished mine and it's headed to the tuner. I put the air filter in the same place but used an HKS mushroom filter Just wondering about the air filter placment as the heat will be sucked from the hot radiator. I plastic welded part of the oem fan shroud to the GT fan shroud to cover the radiator in an attempt to keep the direct heat off the inlet. The inlet of the supercharger being right in front of the radiator still worries me and my tuner isn't real happy about it ether IDK.

Yeah i dont care either.... with the water to air and the meth on top i have no problem keeping cool IAT. In fact while zack and i were driving it to check the tune the IAT's were around the mid 90's the whole time (and thats without meth!)

[Speed]

Looks Awesome Matt, indeed one of the cleanest set ups. Congrats

Are you using Meth the entire time(I.E. boost dependent) or only at the track. Your IAT's were @ 90 what was ambient air temp

[-Matt-]

Looks Awesome Matt, indeed one of the cleanest set ups. Congrats

Thanks man and thanks for the parts... i got mine off now if ya need em back ;)

[guspech750]

:bows:Wow!! Thats is one of the nicest centrifugal supercharger set ups I have seen. Looks awesome and I am sure it will drive awesome after the dyno tune!!!:bows:

[-Matt-]

Are you using Meth the entire time(I.E. boost dependent) or only at the track. Your IAT's were @ 90 what was ambient air temp

The meth will be on top of the regular tune (the motor wont be dependent on it) I think im going to have it roll in around 4lbs and full out through the 12lbs. Im using it purely for the cooler IAT temps and the octane boost.

It was around 75+ degrees and sunny

[-Matt-]

:bows:Wow!! Thats is one of the nicest centrifugal supercharger set ups I have seen. Looks awesome and I am sure it will drive awesome after the dyno tune!!!:bows:

Thanks bud!

[DTUB]

Very nice :) Now you get to spend more money getting it tuned :depress:.

100% correct on Zack, he is definitely the Man. :up:

I honestly didnt know about how i was going to get along with Zack. I know he can be a total jerk and is very honest about telling you how he feels. At the airport i dropped the icebreaker on him and from then on it was nothing but a good time. We got along well and laughed the whole time (even when we were yelling at each other) :beer:


Zack is A+ in my books :cool4:

[Egon Spengler]

Nothing too special underneath... kooks going to a no cat setup through a pair of magnaflows and out some res delete tips.

Oh it also has a deep tranny pan now

[CBT]

Try and make the Kentucky meet next year, you'll have hilarity overload. Are you going to Marauderville?

The pioneer nav doesnt have anything on the kenwood/garmin set-up

Also i feel as though the pioneer OS is slow, laggy, and often quite full of bugs and in constant need of updates.
