Got the call from Johnand Julio at Cartek. My D1SC was delivered to his shop. My install will begin the second week of March! Here's a peek of what's in store:

Can't wait to hear it sing...

 

You will love it!

 

I like the black finish. Is that now available?

 

Apparently all I had to do was ask. I saw it done with the ECS AND A&A kits. The head unit, bracket, and intercooler to intake pipe will all be black. Some of it is powder coated, some of it is anodized. Should make for a nice subtle look under the hood.

 

I have no doubt!

 

Install is all done, and it's back home. Lovin it!!!!
Here's some pics for those interested:

Is that a 6 rib belt on the blower looks odd? nice blower

 

Lol. When I took that picture, it had just shredded a belt on the dyno due to misalignment, so it's probably a 5-rib in that picture. I forgot about that till you pointed it out!
I'm running an 8-rib with an IW balancer.

 

Hahahaha Ok it looked like you were running a 4 rib 8 rib is good

 

Nice results! You still stock bottom end? If not you change that huge pulley out

600rwhp is lots of fun for the street

 

Thanks!
Yeah, stock bottom end, custom cam by Julio & crew.

That was the plan. When I have a catastrophic failure, I'll build it bigger, but still be able to use the D1 and a smaller pulley setup.
It's so much fun. It's my first FI car, so I have a lot to learn.

 

Really nice results!

Is that the Cartek Bracket for the Procharger?

And your Vette is an 20?? Z06 with LS6 stock bottom end and heads with custom cam?

Again very ice set-up and results!

Thanks,Matt

 

Yep! I had them anodize the bracket and the Flip Drive in black.

2003 Z, stock bottom, custom cam spec'd by Cartek.

Really appreciate that. I couldn't be happier with the results, or the work performed by the guys at Cartek. Really pleased!

 

Just received a set of shorty engine mounts from Hinson. Trick pieces! Hopefully they'll cure the blower/hood clearance issue I'm experiencing.

 

Great numbers I love my d1sc have fun with the beast. Now get some rubber in the rear if you haven't already

 

I've been silently following your thread, hoping for similar numbers. Not quite up to your level, but I'm happy with the results!
As far as rubber, what do you recommend? I'm running Bridgestone RE050As for now. Good tire, but not really the best for hooking up. I'm thinking Nitto nt05, or something similar- once I learn how to drive the friggin' thing.

 

Big brown truck dropped off my new Hinson short mounts the other day. Hopefully they'll give me the clearance I need to keep the head unit from bumping the hood.

I posted from my phone earlier but obviously it didn't go through earlier. Don't worry about number man I'm sure your car still lays the dick down. As far as rubber i will be switching to a mt et street or some hoosiers here shortly. the nt05 seem good to I know neutron82 runs them and in one of his post from his build this is what he said about them............."no kidding, I have nt05r's and if I want to it will roast them from 1st to part way through 3rd... I have to stay in it about halfway in the upper rpms of 1st and 2nd to keep it manageable and then nail it in 3rd... or 60-70 rolls on the highway works best haha... I'm wanting to do rear flares soon so hopefully some 345's will help out a bit"""""

he's pushing over 700 though...


. just know that you will be giving up a little handling and wet weather for traction. What may be good for me not be your cup of tea. Either way any drag tire will really help out than any normal tire under the rear. I have invos and they don't grip worth crap at my power level it was cool spinning for the first week but after awhile it's annoying especially with lower hp cars running right next to you beacuse you are ice skating. I feel like I'm a Supra guy and screaming "from a 70 roll" let me know how those work out for you. I haven't made a final decision. truth be told I upgraded my fuel system to the upp and going to throw some timing and meth. I should be breaking into the low 700's or the motor. one of the two but rubber is next.

 

looking great my brother. really happy with the way it all turned out.

 

Gives me a lot to think about. I have some traction issues similar to you and neutron82. I may pick up a set of MTs mounted on some classics.... Been thinking about doing something along those lines, and just saw a set pop up. It'll definitely give my car a different road feel.
Lol at "supra driver" scenario...
I need to get out and drive the damn thing. Haven't had a chance between work and crap weather.
Thanks Pal. Me too!!!
