Update on the Car...
Hey guys, havent really posted here in awhile, some of you may remember me. Just wanted to give a little update on the car. As some of you know, the car is cammed, slammed and blown. I just had the 3.6" pulley installed and tuned by the guys at Techco...The car is a factory freak, it is making insane power. Car is currently making 488rwhp 439rwtq @ 6.5psi after installation of 3.6" pulley and retune. Normally the 3.6" produces 7.5-8psi but the ported blower lowers boost slightly. I did a lot of city and highway driving with this thing all over LA (Valencia area) where it reached temps of 105 during the day. I could feel the heatsoak but it was a god awful hot day. I just drove the car from Valencia down to San Diego today where it is significantly cooler...I thought this thing was crazy when I drove it at Techco, dear god it woke up when we hit 70 degree temps at sea level. This thing has a scary pull to it and the powerband is just insane...so much pull all over, I couldn't be happier.
On the way home I had a few encounters...A 2010 Camaro RS, a 2008-2009 Lamborghini Gallardo, 03-04 Saleen S/C
Camaro:
The guy in the camaro was an asshat. The guy wants to cruise at 85 but wouldn't line them up to 100, maybe 110? Give me a break. He would be in the far left lane cruising at 80-85 while I am in front of him in the lane to the right cruising at 75. He kept coming up on my left, and I would hear him start to accelerate maybe 20 yards before he caught up to me. He would slowly start to pass me as I downshifted to 3rd, I would stomp on it and blow his doors off by 110...this happened three times...I continued to try and get a fair race but he would just try and gun it past me everytime..
Lamborghini:
The driver was cool...beautiful car too. His exit was coming up about 2 miles ahead of where we met...We could hear each other downshifting but kept gunning it at different times. I tried the three honk thing several times, but this guy wasnt getting it... I had a passenger in the car, he didnt. When we would both gun it, it was clearly obvious I was pulling away from him and he knew it...gave me the thumbs up. However, we couldnt seem to line them up cleanly before his exit...damn those cars sound so sexy
Saleen:
Not really much to tell...BUSLENGTHS
My hat is off to Techco...I really cant say enough good things about them. The car is insanely fast with such little boost....a 575hp car with a stock motor revving to 6800...yeeeeeaaaahhh Ford
