I don't think the cam is to big even being a BTR stage IV.. may try to have KP look at it again.

I had the same problem w the BTR stage 3 cam on my blower car.. but I set next to the a tuner before Alex Peitz and we went through a lot of different tables sparks, gears, ect.. and made it perfect as a stock.


I going to get a Boost controler shortly setup up w a 8 psi spring or 6 if possible then I want to do some road course events.
this just reminds me how bad I need to paint my throttle body!

Ya im thinking of just running 110 or c16 or a leaded oxygenated fuel since we have a 16 and 2 other cars to drive. I don't drive this car much .. Im think of running a race fuel I'll have plenty of fuel system and it will be the quickest easiest way to turn up the boost although expensive in the long run. I might drive 200 miles a month if that.

What are yalls thought what downsides?

Eats o2 sensors. Fine to run 5 gallons here and there, but not full time.

Unleaded is no issue .I would just do a MS109 tune and call it a day if you want to buy race gas.

I had the MAF-card moved further away from the bend and BOV (roughly 6")

I run Alky Control Meth so I had all those extra bungs removed at the same time, boy they are ugly.

Did some other minor fabrication to add the larger Oil cooler (factory one just cooks the oil with the turbos) and a cover plate to keep all the hoses and wires covered from road debris etc. More of a just in case.

Motor is in now, BTR Twin Turbo Cam, forged everything and sleeves by darton.

Also, not in the pictures, the catback is full 3" from the Turbos back now, just to make sure its optimized.

Should get it on the dyno sometime this week or early next and finally get to turn the boost up past 18psi

Why not run a meth kit that can utilize the bungs?

I had already invested into the Alky Control system, prior to buying the AGP Twin Turbo System.

Additionally, I personally believe Alky Control is number one in that market space.

58/62s Garret Billet Dual Ball Bearing

Should make around 1100 at max boost and they are very, very enjoyable in this street car.

It's no race car, just a fun street toy!

Curious as to how your fail-safes are setup if your meth fails, I noticed your not spraying before the MAF. I know there are other ways of doing it, but I'm not familiar with them. Also, where did you get that intake piping? I'm also not using the AGP ports, and would like a cleaner look.

Very nice, wrapping the pipes help with interior heat?

Also could I have more info on the oil cooler set up? Like where does it start and end... did you remove the factory and plumb it there..

Never though of trimming the zl1 pan like that.. I wasnt going to install mine til I saw that ty for the pics.

As for the e85 question.. its just to expensive to do right now.

as for the meth it seems to risky as if there was problem I wouldn't have the money right now to rebuild.

Also I have shops that says it doesn't do much its a band aid for a week fuel system, another shop that swears by it but then I see post of f$&% pistons...
