Car is at HPP for tuning
 
Looks like Doug (Hatton) is on the books for Monday morning, and mine will be done Monday afternoon. Matt Voris, saw your name on the big board too, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday?

Hopefully, they'll get all wormed up on Dougs car before they get to mine!

Yepper! I've got a soft tune to get me to the shop on Monday, then the real tune. I'll take yours for a spin while they're tuning mine! LOL!

how much are yall thinking/hoping it'll put down on the dyno once Manny is done working his magic?

Doug1227 05-03-2013 09:25 AM

Downtime's made 625/515 through the M6 before. I think Manny's just smoothing out a few things for him. I'm hoping mine will be somewhere around there as well. I'm bringing 3 pullies with me and the KB gigantic TB, so I should be able to make whatever we feel comfortable with. I've got 640/550 in the back of my head.... we'll see.

Texas summer's coming up, all the blower cars are just gonna be cruising for the next five months, lol!

pohnjarker 05-03-2013 11:02 AM

i didnt think heat soak affected the centris like it did the PD blowers??

46Tbird 05-03-2013 11:15 AM

All blower cars deal with heat soak issues to some extent. Compressing air = heat. Some more than others.

pohnjarker 05-03-2013 11:25 AM

oh ok...so they dont...thats what i thought.
cool

The 167 TB is worth an easy 50 according to Manny, and the auto trans is a lot more efficient than it used to be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see your car making closer to 675 when he's done.

You're going to need some serious seat time before making that claim! And didn't I see where you weren't going to run the naws?

The air to water exchanger makes a little bit of difference, but it's still going to be Texas heat! LOL!

Not without some tire! What are you going to run at the track? I have a pair of 28x9 M&Hs on RaceStars that you're welcome to borrow.
