The Grond Chronicles : ECS Paxton Supercharger Install Part II [56k Anguish]
 

For those of you that have been following my exploits (and many mistakes), I started tuning my newly supercharged C5 on Sunday. After a fair bit of research (and a bunch of books I bought some months ago), I took it out for a quick shakedown run today.

Closed course, professional driver etc. Cruising along at 45mph, hit less then 1/2 throttle, I flash the stall to 3600rpm - hit 5lb of boost - and the next thing I know, the rear tires light up and my HUD is reading 95 (kilometres per hour of course http://grond.englandgreen.com/whistling.gif ) :willy:

The PermaGrin(tm) on my face is priceless :D:D:D

As I get this thing dialed in, I'll keep you all updated. Right now I am only running 12 degrees of timing.

For reference, the ECS Paxton Supercharger Install Part I is here

EG, the first thing that I pictured when I saw this :D :D :D was the three butterfly's on the intake of a top mount screw-type supercharger.... Pretty funny how that happened to fit right it with "your doings" these days... :thumbs: :cool:

Closed course, "professional driver" etc.



Dear Steven. You walk in the Light. Other wise you might not be here.

But "professional driver"?


Via con Dios my friend,

GOZ

Very nice. What are your plans for the brakes to make Grond come to a halt just as quickly?

It's in the works - coming to a Forum near you soon :D

That looks great, congrates and good work. Now that your down in sunny FL maybe i'll run into you sometime this summer and get to see and hear Grond in all it's glory.

:thumbs: :cheers: :thumbs:

Now I'm really Jealous Stephen : thumbs: Soon you will be hunting all over for more room on those closed courses out there, :steering: and better watch it, Castro would really like a ride like Grond...

Videos coming soon or are you going to continue you kill us with suspense. We all need a little shock and awe.

Great job, congrats!..:cheers:

Damn that looks good under your hood. Congrats. :thumbs:
