I'm sorry guys, I really didn't mean to stir this up this way. No real info right now as we hit a little snag in the dyno tuning aspect and didn't have enough time to go through it again and trouble shoot it because HIN Miami was days away. So we took the car to the show, showed it, than I went on vacation. The car is do back at the dyno tuner Tues to work out the kinks we ran into. So I'll have numbers next week hopefully with more pics and vids plus track vids and times.. I just wanted to share a vid so you could hear the way she sounded now after we redid the whole exhaust system on the car. Actually I just came to find out that that vid was before we came across noticing that the throttle cable was loose so I'm loading a new vid now that really shows what she sounds like at full throttle now..

I'm waiting for it to load so I'll post this quick pic of what the engine bay now looks like after the new "bling treatment" I gave it with the help of the guys at Grip industries and Mad Mods Customz.. You think you guys are impatient imagine me!!!!

I am SO GLAD I was able to meet you at Stef's house. I really am. As I told you, I was so bummed you couldn't make it to Lexfest '06, after the whole incident with your car. But meeting you and then picking your brain about your car more than made up for it. Thanks for letting me pester the he11 out of you...but it comes with the territory when your GS is THAT friggin' sweet, right?


I look forward to all presentations of your GS in 2007, Blue. It continues to be my favorite GS on CL, just 'cause it's so clean and masculine. MUCHO PROPS for an on-going project that really shows the potential that the 2nd Gen GS possesses.
Kev the pleasure was mine man. I really wish I would known earlier that you guys were going to have mini-meet. When I found it it was too late and had plans but thanks for coming over to stef's house afterwards. It was great to get back together with great friends like stef and Derrick and meeting you was a bonus. I wish I could have met more of you while up there but I'll be back up that way inthe summer so I'll be sure to look in your local forums to see if you guys have anything coming up..

What gear are you pulling the dyno at. It seems that you're hitting your max rpm pretty fast. I assume that is because you have insane HP.

My GS4TT doesn't rev that fast (at least I don't remember it revving that fast). I am doing my dyno pulls in 3rd gear, rolling into it,...then hard on the throttle once I am past 4k so it doesn't downshift to second.

Holy mother of mary. A you have simply outdone yourself this time. I mean that thing pulled hard last time I was there, I can;t even imagine it now.
This coupled with the fact you guys trade the Unit this week is too much to take in lol.
