As we need to install the Hurst short throw, we do that at this stage. I took pics, but for some reason not save?? But done and we go back to exhaust.

We install Eibachs and hawk pads. Done. Fire it up. Awesome! Can't punch it, canned tune on for now. Have another cold one. It was a long weekend, but done. I really like doing everything all at once.
Off to get custom tune. Pics of it lowered.

Ok, where did we left off. Oh, off to dyno. So we car hauled it to a local performance place. Oh man, totally forgot. I did a baseline a few days before we started the performance install. Long story short, I was getting 424 RWHP & RWTQ stock. What, really.

CanadianSS 04-08-2013 04:06 PM

He thought it was one of those "freak" engines. I was so excited. Got a call later that day, the computer was holding a old file and wasn't releasing it. So it was off by about 10%+/- So lets call it 375.

Techs did there magic. Got 6.5PSI, no larger fuel pump or boost required.

CanadianSS 04-08-2013 04:18 PM

514 RWHP & 464 RWTQ. Not that the numbers are bad, but I was disappointed. 500 At the rears, no one should complain. But everyone here was getting 550 RWHP & 500 RWTQ + with the same set up. Tech then said "other guys numbers must be on a Dyno Jet. They are minimal 10% more!" Looked into it, yup. That's true. Soooo, that puts me at 565 RWHP & 510 RWTQ converting it to Dyno Jet numbers! Happy happy now.

I picked up the car and drove it home. WHOA! Ridiculous, stupid, unbelievable power. A totally new beast. Hey Beast, I like that. Finally a name for my car. My son confirmed he like that name for the car. Done. Beast it is.

Next day I picked up all the appearance parts from my uncle. Gave some cash for the paint, and a case of for his time. Gotta love family. So my uncle says " let's put all the stuff on on Saturday". What, everything. All at once. Here we go again. I jack the car up on Friday, start removing the stripes. Since I'm doing he ACS TL1 hood insert, stripes have to go. I start with the trunk. I just use a hair dryer and warm up the vinyl. Took my time, comes off easy. Wife still doesn't know...lol
