coming to fargo street
-
hi, ive lived in breck/wahp forever, but im just coming to fargo street. some of you guys might have seen me around, 2005 i had a black 04 GTO,
mods: cam, headers, 3" magnaflow exhaust, HP Tuners software, single nozzle wet nitrous, homemade 4" cold air. it ran a 12.6@109 on motor with a 2.08 60', and 11.85@121 on a 100 shot, 2.0260', both on 245-17 stock radials.
Also i have a 87 buick grand national that was just a bolt on car, went as fast as 12.12@109 on pump gas.
mods: 3" downpipe, chip, 36# injectors, AdjFPR, K&N filter, TE-44 turbo (58mm), ALKYcontrol methanol injection. always on and always set to 24psi on 93 octane. it wasnt that fast but it would run a 12.40 at a stoplight and at the track all day long.
In april, the GTO started on fire one day, so thats gone. im doing a mild frame off on the buick, currently fitting in the new motor. the new buildup is this
6.0L LQ4 out of a 2002 chevy pickup, 9.4:1 compression
4L80E
60# injectors
HP Tuners on stock ECM
headers made by me, 1 3/4" primaries and 3" collector
ford powerstroke intercooler
still deciding on the turbo, probably a 74-80mm compressor. Looking at S400 from Majestic turbo
Anyway I also have a 92 Mitsu eclipse GSX that i had at the last Tintmasters event, bone stock auto with race gas and i ran a 14.4 at 94mph. now i have my old buick turbo on there and its pretty fast for a daily driver. right now its just sitting there and i need to get rid of it so thats it, ill post pics of my stuff soon

-

o and welcome
06 EVO IX with sun sound and leather package.(RIP)
color: electric blue
mods: WORKS drop in filter and mud flaps :rolleyes:
1/4 mile was 13.3 with a 1.8 60' at 104(all stock) -
Welcome.
Nice Intro.
Sorry to hear about the GTO.
3 things i couldn't live without.........
:3gears: -> :drink: -> :poon: -
thats cool, hopefully i can make it there with mine this spring, without the turbo though. gotta buy some other stuff and get the tune for the 60#ers dialed in NA before i throw boost at it. otherwise ill have that blue cutlass again, (bros car). its not bad though with 470hp and 520lb/tq :eek:

no i was just goin down the road about 40mph and it started on fire. either the clutch line blew/melted or the fuel line got rubbed through, either way it was the cars problem. many people hacked on me about the nitrous install, but i have done many and did it right, double fused power, good lines and stuff.
anyway im making some progress this week, got my header tubing and flanges. injectors and tuning software shipped on friday, going to try getting the motor mounts finalized and the trans crossmember drawn up.
Another thing on the list is to take that big ass turbo off the eclipse and step down to a 50-trim comparable one, should be a bit more driveable at that point. also put a damn muffler on it, 3" straight is pretty loud after awhile. -
figured i could post up a little on my background since im bored.
Ive been working on cars for years and done alot of different things. was in the military for a few years. went to korea and japan, got to drive a badass silvia with a sr20 and a t-66 on it, 570hp. also a r-32 skyline that was just a bpu, wasnt impressed by it much. my favorite was a big mod Evo 6, that is personally my favorite evo. had ported head, forged shortblock, 272 cams and a 60-1 on it. that thing really hauled ass and it could do donuts at will. learned a little about the Tskuba circuit in my stay as well.
After that i moved to Ft Hood TX and made a bunck of friends. one was a ls2 GTO with cam/headers/exhaust and 3600 stall. another was a SRT-4 that ran a 12.6 on the stock turbo, now it has ported head, cams and i think a gt35 on it. he does 12.4 on pump gas and 15psi now. best friend at the time had a 04 STI with headers, exhaust, intake and just recently picked up a 04 cobra convert. lastly our club had 3 turbo ls1 camaro/TA's.
So anyway im pretty good at tuning and installing stuff. i enjoy mapping out different combos for people though and really good at turbo systems and such.
OH forgot, me and my dad built a Mach Z drag sled, pretty much stock motor yet but direct drive chassis and our own suspension system. And have a 440 mod sled that used to run 11.4 at sabin when we did that years ago, now i have a T3 turbo on it, but have to work out a few ignition problems before i can try it out.
