Just pm when your ready and interested
I have the hi-flow cat ZZP downpipe with the metal matrix core, the agency power cat-back exhaust, and right now I'm using the ZZP airbox mod with a K&N drop in filter, but I also have the AEM CAI sitting in my garage. I'm planning on the injen charge piping at some point. I guess I'm wondering how far the trifecta tune can be pushed. I know it's a bad idea, but I do want to get close to the 400whp mark for when I'm at the track :-)

You need to get all the mechanical problems straightened out with your car before you blame the tune every time. Your car cannot be running great one day, then the next runs like ass, and its the tunes fault. If you were around Tucson I would be happy to help you (even though I am not there right now.) But Viper is the one who is your distributor. Don't let your experience, reflect on all the distributors that go out of there way to help a customer out.

The only limitation to you car will be the mods. You want more powwer just choose the approriate mods. The tune won't hold you back. I have seen a couple TC's near the 400 mark. Your current set up will easily get you around the 330whp range

Hmm...which mods would get me there quickest. I suppose a light weight fly wheel would help (in which case I might as well go with a stage 3 clutch, right?), along with some charge piping. Other than that I'm pretty much a noob so I don't know which mods would make a difference, especially cheapest mods for most HP. They don't make headers for our car that I know of...I suppose an intercooler may help. Thoughts?

Cooling is the key. Keep your IAT2s in check. But also hardpipes. intercooler and upgrade the compressor wheel, etc. There is another RED SS/TC coupe on here who was claiming 400 or so whp with full bolt on's

there is no getting past 370WHP on the stock turbo unless you have a very optimistic dyno

Thanks much for the info. I think my plans should involve pedders springs, injen charge piping, and a compressor wheel. The only one I could find is this from BTF, and then a tune once all that is in my car. Or maybe after the spec 3 clutch :-) Do you guys know of any other compressor wheels than this one? I'm guessing not since this is all I could find. Anyways, thanks again for the info...it might take longer than I thought since this does cost a little bit, but my car is going to be a freak in maybe a year or so :thumbs:

From a roll or from a dig? I need a driver mod because I ran a 13.7 at ~106ish at firebird, so I know my car is definitely capable of much more. I am gonna try to get to firebird this friday if anyone else is interested! Let me know if you want to make a lil' drive from tucson :-)

I would like to see how a trifecta car (mine) does against the GMS1 at firebird when I get back from Guernsey WY.

Both actually. You have about the same mph as me before my recent tune and new mods. I won't be able to make it to Firebird for a couple weeks. I need to get up there though

Oh wow, I'd get spanked by you. We should def plan a track day where we can all get together and do a little racing. There are some nice back roads near firebird that we could hit it from a roll also and not worry about other cars/cops/etc. Of course, now you make me really want to get a couple more mods before racing you to avoid embarrassment :-)

I honestly don't think you need any other mods. One thing you should realize is that you make way more torque then me. Thats what wins drag races. A dig you will prob beat me, but a roll will def be interesting. I just wanna see where I sit with a car with your exact mods, just for fun, not to brag. I just love to compare.

2nd. 3rd would just be way to low. At 40mph I'd prob sit at around 2500 or so.
