Halltech experience !
It was my good fortune to meet up with Jim Hall today. It was a chance visit to have a look at his awsome Twin Turbo Z06. He offered to give me a ride & I respectfully refused .Knowing full well what a pair of Turbos can do for a V8. So he then handed me the keys & allowed me to drive it. My friends this car is insane. I never thought that there could be such a thing as too much horsepower. IF your ever in his nighborhood you need to check it out. While I was there he also reprogrammed my new Z06 after a Header install & one of his Trap ram air cleaner set ups. Car runs great. The man knows his stuff. What a great way to spend a Sat afternoon. I'm impressed :hurray:

Re: Halltech experience ! (EFI-1)
I don't hand the keys to 700 HP to many. So far: Andy at A&A. Shinobi. and Turbo Lou.
Lou is being modest. Lou's has done pretty well driving a Turbo Buick GN http://www.gnttype.org/members/Hof102.html
3rd Place: 3 Lou Czarnota from Lake Forest, CA 87 Regal 8.63@157 1.24 60 ft.
He is also a friendly competitor of the "Turbo Guru" Ken Duttweiler.

Re: Halltech experience ! (z06trouble3)
Tomorrow, we are prototyping a new oil cooler/remote oil filter setup. If all goes well, we will have this kit available soon.
All billet components, with a Setrab 19 row oil cooler and 8 micron 6.5" remote filter, XRP stainless hose and AN-8 fittings. All the best.
We are going to mark this kit up very little, and keep it factory direct to keep the cost down.

Re: Halltech experience ! (Vortech C5)
These pics are not of our car, but give you the idea of the quality of the parts.
I will have a new thread tomorrow, showing off the new kit.

Re: Halltech experience ! (Vortech C5)
Thanks Ray, you should show off your Vortech Covers we did for you some time. I was pretty proud to see them in the Vortech display at SEMA.
