AWWW forget the Dyno's we seen those manipulated before, give us some track numbers

I would let you run it too by you as well if needed, may need to change those tires though......

Not sure the availability of used 3.6 LLTs... but I'm guessing there should start to be some out there if you look... most likely the most cost effective way vs actually fixing...

I have a few sources hehe just a way to go all forged the next time If there is an issue I guess.....

for those waiting for track numbers for this system...a few thoughts...isnt there more to getting your car down the track fast then just horse power... i dont think just having a big horse power car means your going to get down the track fast...is the rest of your car set up to use that horse power...is all that power going to work for you or against you to get you down the track...and then theres the driver skills...can anyone just jump into a ( xxx) horsepower car and make it go down the track fast...having the horse power to get good times is a great start...but doesnt it take alittle more than that to get down the track fast...just my .02 cents...

Not to much in an A6, Fact is no one is going to fall for 500HP, and a 15 second 1/4 mile

There is more to it. There's traction issues, set-up issues, launch issues, am I losing boost and is it spooled up issues. The first "experiment" with the STS turbo they seemed to have plenty of issues when they took it to the track and acted like they were afraid of breaking it. They had a show car that had huge rims on it and they were causing issues in the suspension.

Are they saying 500hp? This project is sounding better all the time.

first off i edited my post i just threw a number out there as an example..i do not know how much horse power IPS is going to get out of there kit...i was just making a point about those that are looking for just track times from a kit...im sure IPS is going to make alot of power for this v6...but if you look at gretchens kit he is making alot of power...if you watch his video he wasnt able to use that power to get down the track for a fast time...basically no traction...my point was just adding alot of horsepower to a car doesnt mean fast track times...i think theres more to it than that...it might be just as simple as putting some slicks on the back for traction to get good 1/4 mile times...

you know, tbh, I was about to give up my dream of a FI'd V6 Camaro. I was just going to buy another car, boosted stock, and upgrade from there. But with all of these FI options finally becoming available for the V6, I can't help but to be tempted into buying one of these kits..

We keep talking about a getting off from a dig, but what if you are.. say...on a highway?

You guys are basically saying the same thing, but just from different angles. You can't have good times without power, but you can't have good times without traction. The kit should make good power but won't help with traction. Where the two meet is the important part. If you have a car that already doesn't get good traction, then dumping a lot of power at low RPMs only makes it worse. I think what everyone wants to see is that this system will deliver good power at the right time for these cars. My guess is it will. Remember on my runs that was just 3 psi before the custom tune and we had 2 pretty guys in the car. On the dyno we found the STS tune need some tweaks to work with the twins. If we had gone to track after that and run 4.5 psi with just Tracy in the car, I'm guessing 13.0-13.2 even with the poor traction.

I've got the RX kit and let's just say if your are crusing at 60 and drop it to 3rd and go WOT, it still barks the tires (or tire in my case) and you redline in no more than a second. You won't have trouble passing that's for sure.

Put this kit or the RX kit on Beauwulfs car with 6 psi and he'd be breathing down the neck of those Vette's we saw in his video. Put either kit on ROD1's car and boost to 9 psi and I'm pretty sure it would be in the 11s.

Crap, after reading TJ's response I left one critical bit out. Since I was running out of fuel at 6psi I had the rev limiter lowered to 6200 RPM to prevent accidentily going lean (and I'm back to 4.5 psi). NO WAY I'd go from 60-113+ is just over a second! If I remember right I'm redlining at a little over 90 MPH in third right now. Sorry if that confused anyone (not enough sleep lately).

Same. I'm still running 4.5 psi and that was about 345 RWHP. I may actually get a chance to work on her this weekend and replace the part I broke. If that's the case then I should be able to start bumping it up and sending logs to Vince of 4/16. It all depends on work which is a nightmare right now.

Thanks for the info!!!
