I Got Long Tubes ;D (no pun intended)

[Deleted]

Big Thanks to Ruk Tech (local Utah company) for the superior quality and awesome deal on high performance thermal coating my new kooks long tube headers and catless mid pipes. They did a fantastic job and it turned out alot better than I expected when comparing the color examples. I opted for the 2000 degree coating which is silver in color vs the 1200 degree polish finish coating(more carshow finish). Figured the headers are very visible so no one would really see the polish finished headers and certainly not the catless mids.

If anyone else is thinking bout having some thermal or powder coating done! You should contact Dave at RuK Tech in Sandy.

Ruk will be doing my stage 3 CNC ported intake manifold in the pretty carshow polish finish to make the engine bay really pop and flow with my black and chrome theme.






90MM throttle waiting to put back on car. No questions the TB works as designed as my car was getting alot more air and not required fuel, so I have to wait for my Ported Intake and re install the 90mm and get CRM tune ;D


Oh yeah everyone, the banner below the headers and throttle body was made by Frank (tekjnky)! He does amazing work, highly recommend and saved me like $70 bucks on this garage banner!

Long time in making and doing it piece by piece. Wish I could do it all at once. That is probably it this year for me, until next year. If all goes as plan, this time next year will be Heads and Cam.
Man does it feel like its never ending, I can only just imagine what Kellie and Stephen feel like.

Someone put it best, Speed cost money! Now how fast do you want to go?

I am just trying to keep up with you my brother. You are the one I am chasing down and I heard bout your secret squirrel mod(s), which I think you will be pleased with, especially seeing how ya spin so hard off the line.

I just hope I am not disappointed when I get out there and run a 13.01 ...... If I do, I am taking out the seats lol and getting a driver mod

See ya at Dyno day, hopefully everything will be bolted up for me. Kinda pushing it with these late minute install.

Let me know whatcha think of the dyno tune April 6th, which is right in time for MATS. I am thinking ya will be right at or tad over 500RWHP which is bad ass.

I know I need to get me a CRM tune but cant justify $500 from API for just a 90mm throttle, just to turn around and have another $500 CRM for heads/cam.

Harrison, have your shop give us a Club rate for CRM/dyno tuning will ya ;D

[Pogo (Dave)]

Cant wait to see what you throw down at the track Chris. I wish i could do some longtubes but other than the money i think they would be on the ground after i drop the car lower.
