hey marcman18,
Angelo???? I know an Angelo from so. cali, and he worked at an exhaust place. He fabricated my Greddy exhaust for me, but he quit the place and he is no where to be found!!! I wonder if he's the same guy. Where is he working now???

He is one of the best, through many many recommendations. IF it's the same guy, who knows.

Who makes your chip and headers? How'd you get your car smogged with headers (or does your shop check? some don't even care)? I hand GS400s, older M3's, Mustang GT's, and definitely SC430's their asses. Ever had your car dyno tuned? What did you get?

Max, i'm curious, how much are you beating a GS4 by? And how much ahead of an SC430 are you? We need to get that thing to a track, are you looking for low 14's at this point or what?

Default How can you beat a GS400 w/a chip?

I really like the weapon-r ecu and intake Max,

but I really can't see how even W/that..that you can hand GS400's their asses.

That's a 300hp VVTI engine...

I've had battle's w/a GS400 w/my torque converter and intake.

I can hang w/a gS400 up to about 45-60mph..(if lucky)..but after that..the GS400 pulls away and FAST...

I just can't see how the ecu upgrade can make up for 50extra variable HP from a GS400 and 50more lbs of torque?

Maybe at the meet, we can see firsthand how fast your car is next to one of the GS400s there.

I know for SURE my 93 Sc w/torque converter is NOT faster than a GS400. If your ECU really beats GS400s, then I'd buy it tommorrow(gotta get the cash first of course) =)

I dunno, maybe it's just that they weren't pushing their cars or something.. a lot of people I've raced I've done it at high speed. Like the Boxster was from cruising at 100 to 130 or so (know he was pushing his car cuz I heard his motor wind up), the mod'd M3 I raced was from about 70 to 135 and we stayed even. I've only had a couple actual stoplight duels, one with a stock M3 (dunno if it was auto or manual) on 19th in the city, and I stayed ahead of him by a car or so. The GS4 I raced was also stock, and it was from 20-70 getting on the freeway. You'd have to ask him if he was racing I guess, but he was accelerating pretty hard, and looked over at me on the freeway.

Stoked, What hill, South Mountain? Thats the most well known "hill", I only ask because I live on a hill as well. I live in lost canyon, right above pepperwood, you ever heard of that? Its becoming more wellknown with more lots sold, and the fact that some bastard built a 38,000 square foot house that looks like a kmart (biggest one in UT) up next to me, is making it less and less unknown.

38,000!!! dang i thought my house was big at around 8000 with an indoor gym! wow! the hill im talkin about is the road you take off the freeway, you drive up it past the treehouse club and then it curves arounda hill and then you go right up a street(i forget the address) but you take that road up and its pretty level till a big incline where alot of cops hide at the bottom, go up that and he lives with his back yard facing the mountain and there is a park where the base of the hill starts. if you go up that road farther there are some huge houses, my friend was tellin me about one huge house that wasnt finished where a drug dealer lived or somethin...... i come down there alot lookin for rides to buy my 94 SC is in cincinnatti with my sister right now and i get the wonderful 94 accord that has been "decked out" ha ha, maybe ill see your SC next time im down next weekend..late

Why is it that friends always say "drug dealers" house. LOL I remember way back in high school, we would drive by big houses, and my friends are like "ya man, his dad's a big time drug dealer."

People are tooo funny.

When I lived in arizona, there was some arabian drug dealer with some crazy dope house, we watched him live on the news get his *** busted (it was cool, the house was disconeccted from other parts, the news chopper showed him getting chased and cornered by the swat team outside, live)

Theres an imbezzeler that was building a 5 million dollar house right next 2 mine. Him and his wifes *** in jail.

Why dont people just quit when there ahead? :P
