Going to pick up my car tomorrow!!

[WA 2 FST]

I fly into Houston in the AM, and get to drive back to the Big D tomorrow. It's supposed to be nearly 70^F and sunny. Should be a great day for a drive.

Car ended up making 579rwhp SAE from the FRPP Supercharger kit (TVS), Magnaflow cat-back, and custom tuning as the only power-producing mods.

I still haven't driven it yet, and I'll be picking it up at the dealer in the AM.

Will post pics and driving impressions soon.

Lone Star and Autograf

sgt d, thanks for the offer, my friend. I flew down to IAH this morning, arrived at 9:15am, grabbed a short cab-ride to LSF and was out the door by 10:00.

It _was_ a beautiful day.

I bought the car back just before Christmas. Before taking possession, I had LSF/Autograf install the following parts:

FRPP Supercharger pack
FRPP Handling pack
FRPP short-throw shifter
Magnaflow cat-back exhaust
180^ t-stat
tinted windows
SCT custom tune
NGK plugs (of course)
Autograf UCA
painted to match side mirrors

It took a little longer than normal to get all this done b/c of the holidays, so nearly a month later, I finally got to drive my new car. :rockon:

Made 578.xx RWHP once tuned, but that was on a heat-soaked motor.

As far as wheelhop goes... there is NONE. Once I got back to my stomping grounds, I laid into it twice from a 10mph roll in 1st gear... nothing but 150' of twin black strips on really good concrete. 2nd gear rolls at 3k rpms... spins a tad, but just rockets off. No wheelhop whatsoever. I was impressed.

Will post more impressions and pics after I wipe the smile off my face. I drove home from Houston with the top down the entire way.

Oh... and no tickets. Yee-haw. And I didn't bother bringing my radar detector. I varied the rpms some, but really just kept the speed ~78 in the 70 zones. Jumped on it a couple of times on the highway, but not having any experience with the car, I wasn't going to do anything dumb.

stock boost and pulley?

I wasn't there when it was tuned, but the dyno graph I saw showed 12.xx psi.
