you took your bros csrt? in the balt? he was saying he had 400 whp in that thing? hmmmmm where is he, hahahaha edward smells blood.

yes the mother in law would stain the balt btw hahahaha so dont do it. my mom refuses to even get in my car hahahaha so does my dad for that matter. hahahahha

 

With my dad in the car I won't even really hit boost but when he fell asleep on the highway coming here from Kelowna I did a bunch of ******* passes

 

The TVS isnt a complete waste of money but dollar for dollar power wise is far less then going turbo. I have never seen a single person hit 330whp on straight pump gas. The most I've personally seen is John Powell's car. He makes a little over 300whp on 91. I never got to dyno my TVS but virtual dyno said I was in the 330whp range with a 14gph meth nozzle. And in the 350whp range with my ported head and cams.

You need to go back and read some of the posts 100%METH has made about the 1900. They are true. Because he tried a 1900 on his LSJ years ago. Power wise wasn't far off of a 1320.

 

so what your saying is i would be best off staying on the m62 with meth and be happy with my 290 whp (with meth). if i really wanted some shyts and giggles then hit it with a 50 shot. save my cash and forget the 1900 period and convert.

i have read 100% meth's posts and joshes posts's about the 1900. both say similar things. the only number that either or of them has even dared to mention was 550 with e and a full out power build of a tjolley status. dont kid yourself blue, i will go to those lengths to stay sc. it would be one bad ass ride for sure.

with that being said i would only convert to a turbo system if the 1900 failed miserably. that way i can play with all the damn turbo cars around here and not get my **** kicked in every race. coz no matter what i do whether if it is with a 1320 or m62 i will get my **** kicked in every race by kevin and jon.

 

Yeah the 1320 should do about 300whp with a good tune on pump gas and a 2.9 on stock head, and the highest I saw was 320whp on a 2.8 on pump and full exhaust. I don't think even on a ported head you would see anything over 330whp on pump gas on the TVS, but with meth 350whp is certainly capable on your car Mark. It may sound like a waste, but going from say 290whp (rough estimate) on M62 with ported head and meth to 350whp or so on the TVS is 60whp, and that's a huge gain. You will most certainly notice that gain. However, the 1900 will not make 450whp on straight pump gas, and I would be skeptical about it making 400whp on straight pump gas, as the more airflow you shove in there the more conservative you will have to be with the tune, timing especially. It will perform efficiently than a smaller blower, but it will still need to be "dumbed down" a ways, and will require some octane, whether its meth or E85, to make it really shine.

As for the Caliber soundjunky, they are recently supported with HPTuners...we were some of the first to tune one on HPT on my friends car and lets just say the results are promising We are just on 16 lbs and 91 and will put it on the dyno before playing much more and then going E85, but as it sits it should be a solid 330whp or so and on E85 on stock turbo and 20 lbs or so we should be able to see 360-370whp or so, so I'm excited about that!

 

C-SRT4 stock: 285hp
C-SRT4 MS1: 300whp
C-SRT4 MS1K.... It's called the 'Mopar Stage 1 Killer' for a reason...
And the MS1 ratings are with the stock catted downpipe, sotck paper filter, and stock exhaust...
But I'd chance a guess that an aftermarket exhaust (much like on the Cobalt) is a sound thing - and not so much of a power thing...

He regularly pisses people in Musclecars/Euro cars off...
It's actually pretty funny

 

Truth!

 

i say i want to line beside your brother this summer jonathan. hahahaha i think he would be surprised. VERY SUPRISED! he wouldnt even give it a chance coz he said it was only a m62. i think he needs a small education.

as for the 1320, i still think its a waste to spend anything over 1000 plus trade of my ported blower.

as for the 1900 it shall remain to be seen til someone comes out with some hard evidence on it. i only want to sink 1 more major investment into the motor. i wont be the guinea pig on a 1900. if it doesnt do want i hope i will just convert. with a full build

and i guess spock died today boys!

 

With meth a the 50 shot Mark I think you'd have a chance at pulling the MS1K Caliber SRT!

 

My favorite thing about the C-SRT4 is probably the same with e SS/SC;
They both don't have these stupid granny's which freak out when you're tires start spinning - they do have traction controll, but those are easily overpowered - unlike the SS/TC ESC/Traction controll - which is more of a PITA ~ and inarguably does a better job of what it's supposed to do...

The Caliber, especially my brothers, will just lite 'em up - mine though, will earnestly try to stop the tires from spinning ~ sometimes it pulls enough timing that the car almost wants to bog.

But I have an eventual solution... more power

 

jonathan just said he took it barely in a trifecta tuned stock lnf. i should be able to take it as it sits now by the similar margin, and pull decent from him with just meth. if i sprayed i would spank him.

 

 

I never said I was stock;
Watch out for my play on words;
I often say "stock appearing"...
Trifecta, catless dp, K&N

I haven't seen the way your car runs now, but if what these guys are saying is correct, he should have a pretty decent HP advantage on ya...

 

i am 270 whp without meth. i bet your about 280 thats about it coz last i heard you only run 91. if you ran 94 with hpt i would give you 300 whp. i also bet i am about 100/150 lbs lighter then you.

 

Depending on the tune on the TC on 91 and a decent tune you should be in the low low 300's whp range. Not sure about trifecta. I've seen as low as 280 and as high as 325 or so on 91/93. As for the CSRT typically MS1K seems to throw up 320-335whp with bolt ons on the CSRT. My friend's on stock tune and 9 lbs with intake/tbe raped a GMS2 SC, although Mark you should make a good 40+whp more than GMS2. I do believe that how his car sits now on 16 lbs on 91 it would tear my 290-300whp gray car apart. I guess next week when it warms up a little I should give him a little run

 

i am fairly certain jonathan and i would be a pretty close race for sure. like i said all he has is a catless dp, and a kn sri with a trifeca tune. there is no exhaust, charge pipes, IC, and i am not even sure if he has the 3 bar sensors. like i said i have about 100 lbs less on him or more. if he had 300 whp i would be very surprised.

jonathan himself even said he isnt to sure if he can beat me anymore. it would be that close.

 

One way to find out! I am a sucker for a good race lol

 

me too hahahahahahaha, we all have extended the invite but he doesnt come out when we are playing. i am afraid we wont find out coz i will have meth hooked up before summer.

the best example of a clean race for me was against a stock 2014 5.0L i lost by a half car on a roll.

 

Yeah that's super impressive that you were right with that guy. Those are no slouches either. You'll love what meth does for the car.

 

no, not an SRI, Iused to have just the drop in filter;
My first mod was GMS1, so yes, I have those MAPs;
I also have a Hahn intake;
Exhaust doesn't give any gains - keep in mind the LNF exhaust is bigger than the LSJ;
Truthfully, I've been itching to pull the trigger on an intercooler - and matched CP while I'm at it (the latter don't net any gains either).

Please keep in mind, that unless you **** me off, I will do my best to not do or say anything to offend;
Along that vein, I'm not going to chance pissing anyone off by suggesting I'm faster than them;
But if they're a good sport about things, I'll happily line up against them infront of a "christmas tree"...


I am normally cuddled up in bed when you guys are out playing - and my priorities in that matter won't change any time soon - sorry...
If we can arrange a Castrol meet - I'd be game assuming other obligations ect didn't interfere...

Changing subjects again;
Well, I'm about 95%there;


All the positive attributes of a factory shifter, and a better looking knob!

 

That turned out really awesome!

 

thanks man!
Less my time and supplies, I'm into it for about $100cnd, woth todays exchange rate should be about $3.52usd

 

the shifter looks great, so when we going to castrol? hahahahahahahah i heard a challenge in there. hahahaha that being said jonathan. taylor did gain me a full second off my 75 mph to 100 mph times from the last time you were in my car on the trifecta tune hahahaha. more to come with meth. i will see you at the that "christmas tree" and after looser buys the supper hahahahaha.


please do get some charge pipes, IC, and hpt please. i dont want to have to call "big bird" tweety. hahahah o you know i just kidding you. it will always be big bird to me.

 

I'm willing to state off the start that I'd buy you supper afterwards...
Since Race City, it seems like we haven't been able to have a friendly run down the 1320.

For time being I'm actually pretty happy with my Trifecta tune...
I'm sure it would surprise many... especially since the intake (it's actually astounding how much of a change that single part made);
Keep in mind that I do not have a desired boost level ~ my tune is a little different than any tune I have installed on a customers car - Vince personally did several go-arounds of dataloging and revising for me.

I have no doubt that I will eventually go HPT, but at the end of the day, I simply cannot afford to have crap go down like poor Kevin* - I rely on my car to drive daily ~ and even though I have parts to repair my car with, it's the inconvenience & downtime that would screw me up.

* = Granted he knows what he has done all along to cause his headaches, and he fully accepts it in light of his pure fun factor in his car - which in my book is pretty cool.

I would like to think that I can sit back, read, and learn through all you guys - and the other day Kevin really challenged me on the logic I had understood on a particular subject...
Well, maybe not Jon, because he just seems to buy parts, and sit on them
(like I used to be accused of doing)

Who knows what all will come down the pipe - only time will tell.

 

jonathan i think you have alot of gains in hpt safely, you can be tuned to how you want it to run. you have to remember kevin is on the ragged edge on the big wheel and meth. he is running much more hp then your even capable of, without a boost ramp. i do believe you have gains in exhaust btw, even if you just straight pipe it. a IC is a must for you to make anymore real gains too. i am sorry bud but i have to be honest with you, TRIFECTA is not a good tune at all. the difference between taylor's and trifecta was night and day for me.

i would be happy to buy you supper if i lost myself. nothing would change from the race city days. even thinking of going head to head with you, i have shyt eating grin. bring your bros along too, he needs a small lesson on what a m62 is capable of. whether or not i beat him i could care less. to see him shyt his pants 3/4 of the way down the track when he realizes i am not going anywhere will be priceless.


btw i really do love the shifter, i am now thinking on how i can do a dice knob to match my valve stem caps.
