A few spec v guys and I are probably going to Dyno at Lowe performance in Alton, IL at the end of October. I want to do a baseline on the SI. It starts production on the 14th and I should have it in the last week of october.

Alton is about 30 minutes from St. Louis. Anyone interested? If we get enough people, ther MAY be a discount. Otherwise, 75 dollars for 3 pulls.

Xaositek · 09-26-2008, 09:00 AM

Be careful Zach - all cars have a breakin period... make sure you don't go off dynoing your car in that period.

The seals and everything need time to break in - not break down :P

I just did a dyno the other weekend... did a 186 stock, 191 after intake and header - let us know how yours ends up.

ProZach626 · 09-27-2008, 04:26 PM

^^ Right. It will probably be more like the beginning - mid november. Anyone else want to dyno?

BTW guys. I can't figure out if I want to go I/E, within a month of getting the car, or just save for the comptech SC in the spring. Damn...

ProZach626 · 09-29-2008, 01:23 PM

I've decided that I'm not going to let myself waste money on bolt on's, again. I did that with the spec and I wasn't happy. Checking with my finances - by February I should have about 4k to spend on the car.

Can you say... CT stage 1 supercharger?

Would this not be my economy car, I wouldn't hesitate to boost it.

ProZach626 · 09-30-2008, 08:43 AM

This is how I figured:

Intake - 300
Exhaust - 600
P2R spacer - 100
Header - 800
Total - 1800...

That's half way there.

Reflash - 600
Pullies - 200

Total 2600...

That would give me a little under what a SC would give me, with all of the added drone / vibrations on a new car. I want the car to be at least a little quiet for a while, since it will be new. The main thing I want to avoid is a header. Not only that, but any bolt on's I do after the SC will give me twice the gains. I'd rather just go with the supercharger and work on suspension mods.

Plus - SC wine ftw! We'll see. I'll have more than enough money to do it, by the time Feb rolls around. I know I won't be happy with the car until it's boosted. It just depends on if I'm actually going to pull the trigger or not.

Xaositek · 10-01-2008, 08:53 PM

Well after the Injen Intake and Vibrant Header with HFC I must say the car is still quiet as a whisper at idle and in moderate traffic. But hit that magical VTEC spot and she is plenty loud.

I was merging into traffic on a highway on-ramp and this lady wouldn't budge for nothing (even though the lane to her left was empty)... dropped it down into 3rd (at a reasonable 50mph) and cracked on the throttle - needless to say she bumped over fairly quick.

ProZach626 · 10-02-2008, 08:31 AM

haha, nice.

How does the car pull, compared to stock?

Brown truck should be bringing my CT-eng. cat-back today. May stick it on today if its not raining when I get home.

Gunslinger · 10-08-2008, 02:49 PM

Installed the cat-back last night. I'm gonna sell the stock mid-pipe and HFP axle back. PM me if your interested. Like to get rid of it locally if possible.

ProZach626 · 10-09-2008, 11:54 PM

How does the CT exhaust sound? I was thinking about going CT, but I think I like the LSD, better.

Either way, I won't have an exhaust for a long time. Hopefully my first and only bolt on for a while will be the SC. Then it's on to suspension! Like I said, though, that's a long time off. Hopefully I don't change my mind, or decide to spend my 4 grand responsibly. :P

At tax time last year I had 5k saved up to boost the spec, but I decided to put most of it on my credit cards, and put the left over on vacation money.

The ******* dealership called me yesterday and tried to sell me a blue one. I told them to call me back when MY black one came in.

ProZach626 · 10-16-2008, 10:08 AM

ProZach626 · 10-17-2008, 02:01 PM
