    Hi Freddy,
    I Picked her up last week. I really liked it, however at first I still had that annoying throttle flutter under less than WOT but still in boost. I found two things. One, the vacuum line going into the snout had a slight slit in it causing a leak and Two the line itself was way under sized. I emailed Magnuson and learned it should have been a 1/4" line. Hell, I think the old line's OD was about 1/4". So now it seems to really run strong. It pulls great! I had to go to Iowa a couple days this week and couldn't wait to get home and drive her ( the car of course)! I'm really happy with it now! I just don't know what's next as I found that I enjoy the process of building it the most. Tim Barth suggested nitrous for 250 Hp LOL. But that I don't know about at this point. I still have to install the drag radials, waiting until I roast the Pirelli's that I pulled off the front that were wearing poorly.








    Take Care,
    Dan

    Hi Freddy,


    I 'm getting ready to pick the car up in the next few days. Tim put it on the dyno yesterday and got 673hp and 655.5 torque that was with a boost a pump and on 12 psi of boost. I'm in the process of looking into some MT drag radials Lol! Can't wait to see how she pulls!

    Hey Freddy,
    Here's the latest I dropped the car off at Barths on Saturday. Another member on here White R/T just picked his up. He went with the procharger and a Ray Barton cam. Tim made like 765 with 93 on his stock fuel although he had a Boost a Pump. Tims hoping we can get around 700 on mine,by the way I am having him change out the injectors also. I will let you know, it's supposed to be ready in a couple of weeks.

    Hey Freddy,
    Long time! Hope all is well for you. I just wanted to bring you up to date. I had brought the car back to Straightline and after paying for another tuning session still garbage. So then I tried Hemifever remote since I already had a Diablo. Still wasn't happy. So I am scheduled to bring it into Tim Barth. He's going to throw a HellCat short block, cam and injectors and other necessary parts and tune it on his dyno. I'm looking to get around 650 to 700 rwhp. The SB and cam were from one of his monster HellCat builds so I picked it up at a reasonable price. This way I got my forged bottom end I always wanted.

    I don't have the knowledge on this that I'd like to. That being said the air I mentioned was an air flow limit that we were exceeding and it was then stopping the boost and then cutting the throttle out causing it to miss. Since that dyno I added a API single stage fuel pump and had them retune it. I do have Kooks LT headers and high flow cats. The tuner is telling me I need to get rid of the cats because they're getting too hot. So I ordered some mid pipes without cats. I don't know about your experience at Straightline but they're are a little frustrating to get a hold of especially now with their racing. So I had gotten a Diablo with the Maggie and was debating on getting it tuned through that. Thinking maybe through Luke at Steve White. I admire your knowledge when it comes to this and would appreciate your thoughts on which way you'd go. Thank you in advance for your time on this.

    Hi there, I've been researching quad tip exhaust options for my '16 SPS and ran across several of your posts in the process. Like you are/were, I'm concerned about drone with my A8. Did you ever decide on anything? I'm leaning toward the Rolling Thunder reso delete kit but the verdict is still out if it introduces drone or not. Thanks in advance!

    I got the 392 HEMI covers and I hope you got the powered by SRT covers ok. It is funny that something like that makes the car hole! Thanks and have a Happy Thanksgiving! :thumbsup:

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the update! :cheers:

    Did you send them UPS or USPS?

    I hope UPS because we have a mailman that is not so reliable! We've had a time or two that we haven't gotten things that we ordered.

    If you find the receipt, Please let me know the info. I'd Appreciate it!

    Thanks again for the update!
