The car runs absolutely fantastic! I took it home last night and the power is phenomenal! We tried to do a 0 to 60 but we could not get traction. Our best result was starting in 2nd gear. The car from a standing stop will spin the tires all the way through 1st and 2nd gears! We got a 4.3 0 to 60 starting in 2nd gear spinning the entire way.

Andy at ADM Performance has exceeded my expectations for sure.

The guy is a genius with these cars. If you need someone in the local area to do the install I strongly recommend Jamie Bennett. We well be doing some more testing this week and a dyno trip early next week with the numbers. We will try and get some Video this week as well.

Sounds good keep us posted. I did a dead stop from 2nd gear today (A6) Traction control was on and it slightly spun for sec lost power then took off. Turned off TC nailed it from a stop and it smoked the tires. With the power level of these blower cars getting them to hook up will be the hard part.

What are your HP goals?

I hear ya brother...I don't have my car back yet, but the guys took it out today to do some more road tuning and raced a guy who's car traps 122 in the quarter...on a 30roll, they put 2-3 cars on him. Gonna be a fun fall for sure!

500 min, 550 I hope at the rear wheels. I am guessing any more than that the transmissions will fry or the internals will not take the abuse. There is no one building heavy duty transmissions as of yet, as I do know there are some working on stronger shafts etc...

there's a few places that are offering.

tho any reputable trans shop that knows what they are doing should be able to beef one of these up. automatics are automatics, clutches, clutch bands, servos, valve bodies, etc. just more of them with this trans.

I called it that because my guys live on a farm...lol. Phil and Sean found parts laying around at his shop and put this together, I think the only thing they actually had to buy was the filter. $70 and made within 2 hp of an open throttle body (ie NO intake tube or filter at all).

These are cell phone pics so ignore the quality...you get the idea.

I can't take the credit for the CAI setup. It was all phils doing. He purchased all the piping etc, and made the baffles out of stuff he had laying around.
