Tune soon maybe today for sure by this week

We ended up making about 900+ whp if the car was undriveable before its worse now even with the mt ets

Not sure what the tuner did but car noticeably runs better, less blower surge.

Might re order 15 inch conversion from lmp I heard they started shipping them recently

Hello v cousins, we got some weld wheels workin, rears are 18 fronts are 20 we needed to keep the diameter of the tires the same so the computers n sensors are happy

 

[Stocks_dad]

I also got 325 Mickey Thompson ets for the stocks car drives much better with the current power level on these

 

[Stocks_dad]

To fit the welds safely we are installing longer wheel studs from ARP. As the fronts do need spaces.

We did the rears with a tiny 4mm spacer but we will see if we can do without it. I’ll probably need to grind down the 2nd caliper more.

Yeah we grinded it down

Ordered a CF hood & some CF pieces from savage Cadillac as well as the new Corsa and exhaust with the CF tips. New toohighpsi lid for the magnuson as well as their boost control kit, will post when everything is installed and working well

OMG.

Did some test pulls n the car is super sketch kmao car semi hooks over 50mph rolls but it almost glides left n right as you’re going over 100mph, makes me feel like I’m gonna lose it

we ordered a 10 rib kit for our set up, when the 15 inch conversion from lmp shows up we will try for 1000hp see if the trans holds

Ah, so "Stocks_dad" must have something to do with the stock market, not "keeping the car stock". LOL Or perhaps your cat is named socks, and you misspelled your handle?

I once had a highly modified C4 track car, and it was a constant battle keeping it working/running/performing as I needed it to be. When I leave a car stock, I rarely have issues. But that's me. I see the attraction to keep chasing the dream, I hope you are enjoying your beast, thanks for sharing.

Do you have the solid rear toe links yet? If not, they would probably really help with the squirrelly feeling it has.

Any updates on this car? Do you have any 1/4 miles times?

Hello sorry for the long wait here is an update video

Ordered some new tires then the car will get track alignment so we can go drag racing finally.

The strut brace doesn't fit with the 2650 does it?

It does but when the engine inevitably has some movement at wot it will make contact.

I have a buddy who didn’t think much of it and it did in fact hit this blower which is lower than the stock maggy lid btw

I have thought of using like a washer or something but seeing as the car will only go in a straight line I don’t think it matters for now

Your build is awesome - I was just curious because I wanted to 2650 at some point myself
