Twin Screw back from the dead
Never claimed they were strong...and its more the bolt stretching skillz then anything
As a side note to this...Witt wasnt even logging KR or Spark(iirc) when this happened...further proof of tunar fail

If it eats other cars as good as it starves your crankcase of oil and eats connecting rod journals only then should we worry. 

L2diagnose poor oiling conditions.

What the two noobs above me don't understand is that fuel has to be spot on to run additional timing as the slightest lean spot while in PE triggers knock which can be devastating with higher cylinder pressures. I plan on running about 15 degrees on pump when I'm finished with it.
I think on pump gas you could get around 17-19* with that blower which will give you substancial boost in power like mine did at that point. This would be on 93 octane of course and no methanol since that doesn't float your boat.
Yes, I have noticed this myself during my tuning sessions. My local tuner who tunes everything under the sun is used to aiming for low 12's for A/F ratios. He was shocked when I wanted to stop around 11.6-11.8 because he thought that was still just a wee bit rich. I bumped it to 11.8-12.0 and sure enough a small count of knock would rear it's ugly head in that spot. I saw a huge increase when I added just 2* timing from my previous setting once the A/F ratio was where I wanted it.

there might have been poor oiling...but that wasnt what caused the motor to stop...im pretty sure the rod thru the side did tho
And now he refuses to yank crank out of old block to check for starving on crank cause he just showered and doesnt want to get dirty..l2gojo
I have not yet delved into the spark tables as that is an area I do not understand. I wish someone local had more HPTuners experience that could show me how to work that aspect and also show me how to dial in the MAF better. All I need to do is see it once and then it's locked in for good. It's just getting someone to show me is the issue since Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Subaru and others definitely don't use HPTuners as I'm one of few around my area that has it. Most of the Camaro/Vette guys are too stuck up to even bother, so that leaves me with the internet and figuring **** out by trial!
Yes indeed, you're not the only one! That's why I can't understand how others, like Area47, can run 12.5 A/F ratios and be fine.

11.5*?? Huh, I'm at 17* pretty much through out the upper half of the RPM's and not a sign of any knock on 93 octane. I'm on the 3.1", what are you running?
They should have a mailing list of the original crew that are still holding out for this thing.
Good to hear that they have it running again. My problem is that I already have too much power that I'm having trouble getting to the ground.
NO LSD!!!
Yeah, I have some Kumho 710's that I use for autox and a nearby 3/8mile circle track.
In those avenues everything's a little more secure with less of a chance of somebody walking off with a set of wheels.
Don't feel the same about the strip and don't want to put them on and waste the rubber driving them to the strip that's an hour in either direction.
BUT I STILL NEED AN LSD!!!

It was just a chance encounter. I read the title and was like, "WHAT THE...!?, not again."

I'm afraid this product missed its window of opportunity, with the TVS out (or very soon) other than maybe the dual pass system I cant find a single benefit of this over the TVS. Not to mention the Harrop team started in January delivered prototypes 2 months later and in a month or two will be starting production. This system took 6 months to get pics of the Dual pass bracket.
Also why would you want to run oil lines if you could just bolt something on instead?
If this was the only option out there or it was priced lower than the TVS I'd feel better about it but thats simply not how it is.

the maf without calibrating it (same calibration as GM S2) maxes out at 47lb/min as we have seen on our turbo setup. You can only compare maf readings with the same calibration.
Those are great numbers but we want to line up our TS vs TVS for some healthy competition. The track at Cayuga (30min from US border) opens in April if anyone with a TVS wants to meet.

I do have to agree somewhat with this statement, however those that have some serious coin invested in this like Jumpin Fool and myself would like to see it finished. I sent the payment to buy the first blower for testing way back in Dec 06 to give an idea of my patience level time awaited. 
"We were shooting for the end of january With the project to be done.Early Febuary at the latest."
Is that about right?
