thank you

 

how about 750 rwhp with a beefed drivetrain and the automatic??

don't want to loose the IRS as that would make it more of a drag car but if I can put down 750 and live to tell about it I would like to do that.

I have the car, and yes I do drive like grandpa as every time I hit the boost I leave skid marks in the wrong places. this car rocks!!

I have the car set for 13 psi but even at 700 rwhp, it moves.

makes my 500 rwhp zr1 feel slow which I never thought I would say. that car is scarey fast too and has a bit more grunt with the high compression lt5 and 390 displacement "off idle"

man I love these cars

 

LOL!!! It's funny how quickly this thread changed..

 

LOL...If its the same guy...he is very cool and I still have a PM from 2 years ago over on LS1tech (I think it is the same guy) when I was asking about the AEM piggy back setup. I also called AEM and they had told me the had to go wire to wire with the piggy back but there was no safety disengage for the drive by wire. They never did finish it for the drive by wire.....I believe they do have a mechanical TB setup..and had it working on some trucks.

Here is the PM

 

Email looks familiar

This forum still hasnt changed huh

 

Pewter, this is not hijacking...it really the people that actually have experience being able to help out the original poster. As of this time, 2001 has produced no results to back up his claim(s). New people don't know this and may/spend money based on his statements. Not smart on their part, but true just the same. I think when we ask for proof its preserves the credibility of the board. That is why I come here and LS1Tech. More and more I'm finding that it is becoming more limited on the tech because of people that have no basis for their "opinion". They tout a system that obviously has problems.

From an admin perspective/business case: people buy a vette (from a forum dealer), by mods from a forum vendor/forum manufacturer. If that person is dissatisfied, he/she leaves the board: reducing your veiwership, reducing the revenues from the forum vendors/forum manufactures...lose/lose for everybody.

 

I agree that members will at times make purchases based on what's read and agree that experienced members should also do the right thing, help when possible and get correct information across. Thats posting what we feel is right without having to correct someone for posting wrong information. There's also the general reminders that homework needs to be done and that not all posts should be believed.

Notice that I said "correct someone" above? The way I see it it's gone beyond the information and is now about the person. That, I don't agree with.

Corvette4ever:
Another thing Barry mentioned was that in the Arizona heat, with the right hood, it didn't have power-related issue due to heat or any w/ the appropriate shielding. You'll have to update us with how the HP kit does for you. As for me... I'm close to, or at least figured out what I need to do, to run with the PTK knowing there will be absolutely no chances of ever having heat related issues FOREVER!!!!

nope..never said it was...read the whole thing....my main issue is with the bashing and fighting between members and the ongoing pizzing contests as well as the continued PMs I get from one member crying about another.

 

Earl, speak for yorself and do not speak for me.
I know exactly what works based on my actual experience and why.
If anything, the people that personally know me, know that I am very reserved.

AVB, partially choose his clutch based on my personal actual experience. He runs around with about 850 torque on a stroker on not very much boost.

I choose my SPEC V Clutch based off of Slowhawk's multiple experiences running 800-1000 rwhp. down the strip on daily drivers. Six or seven of them, I believe.

The RPM transmission off of Carteks experience.

The mainshaft LPE's and half shafts from LPE's experience. I know what these will hold.

My torque tube is the better one.

The pumpkin has some Cartek/RPM stuff in it. Hence, based on Paul's report and my own actual case study, I have very good idea where will go too.

I took the actual experiences from Cartek, ECS, LPE, Slowhawk, LS1Speed, W2W and others that were kind enough to document this here and elsewhere. Pony up, read up, do your own dd, it's out there. I am not here to do it for you, provide you a play by play or an instruction manual.

They did what you guys are doing today, five or six years ago. If does not work for you, or you not in the know or you are doing something different, that is you're problem and has zero to do with me. Again, do your own due dilligence and do not speak for me.

It is working for myself and others out here and others nationally.

 

Brent,
I know this aint my job buddy but this is being discussed now on another post and should be taken there.

OT,
I just noticed you're right. I am just not trilled with seeing this again, again, again, directed at me. I far as I am concerned its just one car and a kit. I sure that they will attack my next 2008 F/I vette I have on order as well, because it not their brand. I think I understand another PTK owner's past feelings more than ever now. Feels like Groundhog day. In hindslight, I personally regret, not stepping up to plate earlier in that regard.

I have yet to speak for you. In fact I asked to see your actual results: your car..You reference partial results for a turbo setup. Part of this forum is sharing your results...the good, the bad, and the ugly. No one has actually SEEN your results!!! I'm not disputing your results. Its just that we've never seen them.

 

I agree...at TX2K5 they had major issues and was kind of depressing to see them not able to make a full pass. With all of the other 1000+hp Supras and Vipers it would have been cool to see a Vette in the mix...
