Project: Procharged 2007 V6 - Page 7

yeah Brian is excited to see any differences between the mac and stainless long tubes on the kit. from what i have heard the longtubes make good amount of difference when coupled with a supercharger. so maybe thats why i got 345 rwhp i would say you might get 355 with the 3core or possibly 360 Brian did a great job. when i launch from a slow roll like once i get stright and smash the pedal the car flies and peals out for at leasta couple of seconds

WAY COOL!!!! Good to see a 'similar' setup, although I'm using a vortech instead of procharger, pushing 11-12 psi. When you get your hands back on her, you'll love it!!!

I'm running 3.73's w/a tloc also, and actually am more concerned about the 7.5 rear holding up more than the engine; be especially wary if using slicks at the track, from what a lot of similar people have experienced with 4.0Ls like ours.

yeah using those g-Force T/A Drag Radial from BF goodrich i have heard of tons of people destroying even 8.8s with enough torque. i know a vortech guy in a 4.0 that destroyed his gears and pretty much anything in the diff with those tires

drag radials are a lot rougher on a rear end than slicks.... if you're gonna break it, it would happen sooner with dr's.. the reason being that slicks are softer so when the car hooks, it's not as violent of a blow on the axles... the s197 rear ends aren't the best anyway... i've done 3 axles on them this week....

I heard the complete opposite also...Since with slicks you'll hook completely and dr's you'll still be able to spin.....right??

haha... you gotta be patient if you want it done right.

I think of it this way... I have NEVER owned a car with more than 200 rwhp... so a couple months is well worth the wait for a ~380 rwhp beast!

But anyways... I got an email from Brian the other day thanking me for my continued patience, and that he has finally received all of the exhaust components from Stainless Works. He said that he will email me some pictures and videos of the install process as soon as they are available.

So... with that being said, I believe I should have the car back within a couple weeks. Mostly depending on when he can make it down to SA to deliever it.

Yep

05madmax · 02-12-2008, 01:13 AM

oh yea something to add to the ture convo for ya. get some damn good tires and be glad you are getting a tlok . i never realized ive been peeling out like crazy. i guess bc of my radio i dont hear myself and today the weather was nice enough to have my windows down and whoa even from a roll when i smash the gas down all of a sudden i spin the tires like crazy i have to ease of the gas to get the peel out to stop

tx_zstang · 02-23-2008, 09:15 PM

Yeah a tloc will help solve that...to a large extent. With a tloc and larger tires, I still spin sometimes, but not nearly as bad as with the stock differential, where one tire would just spin and spin.

Any updates, Jeff?

It all depends how well you hook with the drag radials. If you truly dead hook with the drag radials, you could stand to shock the rear end a little worse. However, a true hook on a drag radial isn't going to happen unless you have a good suspension setup and weight transfer.
