[QUOTE=Windy City;1092264][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Red"]Graham, i sent Kevin an email this evening to forward to you as i didn't have your email.
But, I am sure others here would like to ask the same question of you regarding there packages.
I am thinking of using ADM's Off Road Down Pipes in place of the cat's at the strip. Both for weight savings and for breath ability. Will it effect the computer or the super charger negatively?

There should be no real negative effect on the cal, the boost level will drop a little as the backpressure will be decreased. It will set P0420 and P0430 catalyst efficiency codes but will not take any detrimental action, just the light.

Graham

Can I expect anything positive other than the weight loss?
Thanks, from all of us!

There may be a positive impact on performance, depending on how much boost it drops. With the reduction in back pressure the system will be less knock sensitive, so a more aggressive spark cal could be employed. We have not tested this part, but I will talk to Andy tomorrow and ask him.

That would be Andy at ADM.

Graham

SWEET, thanks Graham. I think I'll talk to him too and get a pair loaded into a UPS plane!

Did you get those arms installed for wheel hop? How are they working for you?

Windy City · 10-26-2009, 11:11 PM

The BMR trailing arms came from Lingy on the car. I had BMR ship em to me and I sent them on prior to the completion. I have not seen much of a problem with the exception of a hard acceleration out of a soft turn.
That one time it was an issue, but WTF who knows.
Hard straight line acceleration results only in premature tire wear at the moment.

At the track with the new drag tires may be a different issue.
One thing I am feeling at the moment is that a bigger gear is needed if one is strictly looking at 1320's.
(looking into a one off for that too!)

One more quick blurb.
In changing the oil in the wifey's C6 roadster this weekend, (loving the new lift) I noticed a substantial size difference in the diameter of the half shafts. I didn't at the time but will measure in the next day or two, just for reference. I think the stock Camaro ones are 30 to 40% smaller than the stock C6.
