First, Thank you for now putting SS badges on it. 2nd looks awesome. I love boosted 2.2s!

Brags

I still rock my LS badges, and damn proud. People don't like to see that when I pass them lol.

Brags

Its in there just powdercoated black wrinkle to match valve cover

deff nice build man! how much boost and hp goals? congrats!

07BoostedG5

iTrader: (12)

how many miles have you put down since boost? holding well?

jonathan923

iTrader: (2)

never mind just saw your whp numbers and boost on sig lol, was it like that when you did that second gear pull?

Brags

Right now its at 14 psi, it put down 319 274 on a mustang dyno with slipping clutch. The Spec I originally had was garbage, lasted 3000 miles slipped whole time. You can even see it in dyno graph


With the new clutch should see 350 whp on same dyno, at 14 psi
Goals for the future are 20 psi by end of summer, should give me more than 400 easy

I have 3500 miles since boost, everything great but the Spec 3 +

go with a zzp stage 4. i'm on 477ftlbs and it holds like a ******* champ. pedal feels no different than stock. seriously. look into it.

Brags

I actually talked to them before I bought the new Clutchmasters FX 400, the only thing I was leary of being test rat, no one has it on 2.2 yet, and its a switch to a .5 inch larger flywheel on a 2.2. Looked good just couldn't afford to be tester, after fiasco with Spec.

iTrader: (14)

i don't think you'll run in to any issues. they're def good people and the shop guys know what theyre doing. i honestly can't find anything to complain about with my entire build.

Brags

I know I have confidence in ZZP, but the the clutchmasters is already in lol

EXsoccer1921

iTrader: (14)

ohh okay. sorry i guess i misread. i thought the spec was giving you trouble and then the clutchmasters was slipping

Brags

No clutchmasters is fine, Spec junk, slipped from begining. No dyno yet with new clutch to clarify, you can see the dip in torque on dyno with Spec 3 +. That was first one in Feb, latest one spec only held like 275/240 at Werks dyno day, have the sheet here somewhere, haven't posted yet

IonNinja

come a long way from the Chevy exahust tip lol

Brags
