Operation Outrageous: JOSE goes HAM on my old FD

[screamin88]

I'm diggin it..... Looks absolutely 

[CharmCity7]

Got the car tuned yesterday, still working some stuff out with the brakes, but pretty happy with the tune.

[digitalsolo]

Nice numbers!

[screamin88]

Nice! Those dyno numbers just add to an already, down right, awesome car.. great job guy!

So you get a sponsorship from monster energy or what?

^^ lmfao. Dude your engine bay is crazy clean, very impressive. Would love to see this in person.

Car looks awesome Austin. How do the brakes feel without having a booster? Im wanting to do a full shave similiar to yours but on my S2000. It would make the bay look so clean after the swap is done.

Awesome power man!
Very clean indeed! Well done man.

What have you done to your engine? I didnt see any specs in this thread.

[RX_Spec]

Nicely done....and that engine bay is smooth

[mattster03]

I searched the thread, but couldn't find... what are your head/cam specs?

[CharmCity7]

Thanks guys....Finally have my master cylinders figured out.  Started with a .70 front and .75 rear and Im going to end up running two .625s to get the proper ratio.  Very frustrating process, but feel good now that i have it figured out.

My car is a stock bottom end ls1 with 243 heads.  Cam is a 236/242 custom grind, 1 7/8 jtr long tubes, Fast 90/92 TB, and 42 lb injectors, valve train, etc.  Im happy with the power, especially since the motor is essentially a cam only with just bolt ons.  The car was tuned at Race Proven Motorsports(RPM) in Wilmington, Delaware.  I have beed dealing with Fran(owner) and Roshan(tuner) for a couple years now and they really know their shit.

going to button everything up this weekend, then ill have some more pics.

Thanks for the update. Is it just me or are the pics kinda fuzzy, I don't think they do justice to the car. What RPM did you run the motor out to? Can't see it on the dyno chart. Impressive power!!! What rear end you running?

[CharmCity7]

Thanks, Limiter is set at 6900.  The car made power all the way to there.  The rear end is a 31 spline 8.8 with 3.73 gears.
