05+ GT's look in here

[Tortuga]

First off, 12.8X 100 shot no2 lmao

I did change from bamachips to brenspeed but had ventured to the track before the LT install. Ran a best of 13.059.

Fazm speaks nothing but the truth. Gaineed .22 or greater.

see, now u've gone and pissed off the wife. one run, on 20s, 2.35 60', pedling down the track and didn't hit the bottle until about 200' or more. found out afterwards that the system wasn't even working right. so stfu b4 u make assumptions about my car and keep my car out of the conversation. BTW On 100 shot it made almost 400 RWHP. Not only that, but my car's an auto, which equals 331 gears....

i believe the only thing he actually said to slander ur car was that it was slow {IMO, high 12s is slow} and asking questions to clarify how ur running high 12s when u don't really ever mention ur mods. the best mod u can do for these cars is gears and most ppl get the greatest gain out of them. that's why u saw low 13s. lots of ppl have hit low 13s to high 12s off of gears, intake, and tune alone. i could basically tell u what a lot of other ppl have seen in regards to track ETs after your mods. Tune and intake will get u 13.6-13.8 {more conservative tune}, gears is low 13s, high 12s, UDP really don't see anything, spydershaft prob vibrates at about 70-80mph {guessing, LMAO}, delete plates lose bottom end but gains like 5-8 HP on top, etc. besides that, he was only bringing to light that the shop he works for has dynoed s197s that make little to no gain off of LTs. Take it as u want. U want proof, go down to his shop and ask to speak to Devin. He can always show u dyno graphs. other than that, ur just arguing a stupid a$$ point that will lead to nowhere except flaming and possible warning/ban. Besides that, it's slightly annoying when my car is spoken about when the thread has nothing to do with me.

everybody has their own opinion, his comes from a reputable shop which has worked on several S197s, urs comes from two {i'm assuming} S197s, one of which is a V6 and is quite a bit different. Ppl can take both opinions into consideration and choose from there what they would like to believe or do more research on the subject by calling other reputable shops in and out of the area.

oh btw, with that brenspeed {aka blowupspeed} tune, i would suggest u listen really well for the detonation that's gonna be happening to ur car and save some extra money for new spark plugs {right under 20 bux a plug for stock ones}. They can tune, but not for AZ weather. You should hear it right around April or May. Been there, done that. Have fun with it.

okays, i think i'll go back to my chore of eating my cookies.
thanks a ton,
Morgan

this thread is going nowhere fast.

like he said, he went to the track with the tune before the lt's and went 13.059, then with nothing else but lt's it went 12.79

the reason he brought up your car, is because its in his signature as well for obvious reasons.

side note:
i love how everyone has a nick name for some other companies tune to slander it (aka blowupspeed). every tuner has had a car with their tune on it, blow up. Period.


p.s id love to see a dyno of a s197 gt with an intake and a 100shot making almost 400rwhp through an auto. i can see 365-380 with an agressive tune for sure.

also, ive worked on a shitload more than 2 s197s, ive put lt's on 3 gt's. turbokits on 3 v6s. countless suspension and exhaust as well. probably more than most other "general" mechanic shop out there

hey what do i know, i work at jiffy lube LMFAO. however, here at jiffy lube we have picked up a new trade working on S197's. It's quite a small deal right now, but to list the very few s197's that we have worked on:
Craig
Casey39er
DieHard
ronb0410
nanozd
that guy with the 427 roush,

thats just to name a few from this site alone. i have seen first hand what brenspeed tunes do to some az cars. my wifes car for example 14.8 A/F 35 degrees of timing on 91 and brenspeed said that was acceptable. another one of our customers with a 06, a tune for 125 from brenspeed, and 1 bottle, later no plugs. i guess they thought 31 degrees was also acceptable....

...also, ill get you that dyno graph of the 100 shot and the LT's later this week.

Darn I really didnt want to start a pissing match...

And i truly thought that your car was not on the giggle gas when you ran teh 12.8X, so I wasnt bashing there. Just didnt believe you were spraying with that ET.

I dont know where your getting at 2nd, but Fazm is an awesome guy, he posted what he saw. And gets harped for it????

These are all facts, sure some cars are different, mine responded well to the LTs.

I cant even believe your responding about my "blowup" tune and noisey driveshaft, and your hitting up the track with nitrous on 20s.

U should really quit getting 2nd and me confused seeing as were not the same person. My car is my car (nothing of what i say is dictated by2nd) and my car is not a strip car, its a toy, so I see no need whatsoever on changing out my 20s cuz I'm running nitrous. Its also not my fastest car. I only responded about the brenspeed tune (again me not 2nd) becuz as I said, been there done that and I've known of A couple ppl that have experienced similar results with that tune. I wasn't making fun of ur car, I was telling u guys to quit with the pissin contest. As I already stated each of u have ur different opinion, get over it.


Or am I just invisible on this, seeing as how I've got a race car and the stang, both of which I had b4 I met 2nd. :/

Oh and ernie only said the jiffy lube thing cuz it sounded like David was saying ernie worked at a general mechanics shop. :) it wasn't meant as anything towards David. So let's quit fighting kays? David if u really want the dyno results for my car, I'll pm them to u on Monday or Tuesday. Jeff, maybe u should lock this thread so it can be done and hps doesn't look like azsr. :)

[Martimus]

Me thinks its time to end the pissing before 2ND2NUNN blows a gasket...

Dave is one helluva mechanic and I, for what little its worth, trust his judgement and skillz.

i was sayin i was a general mechanic, hes the one that threw jiffy lube, which isnt even where i work. in there. if he took it as i was callin him a general mechanic, maybe he should go back and reread.

i never once attacked his skills or his knowledge, and thats exactly what he is doing. i simply am stating the facts, he is going and bashing.

If the thread doesnt get back on track, i will lock it, or clean it up.

You got me tortuga! your guys' avatars a ridiculously similar.

I just got kinda upset cuz you guys didnt believe fazm.

heres the slip

do us a favor and clean it up. There's no need to have this continue to be visable. Btw the jiffy lube thing was towards himself and how he interpreted ur post.
