skater.... na. i have been looking for one of these hoods for a very long time. finally got my hands on it. seeing this car never really sees rain. the hood fits the car perfect... i have alot of finetuning with the bumper/hood/grille to get it to fit perfect. but i love it!!!

Haha awesome! That will really help with cooling! Will really need to keep that engine bay pristine with no cluttered wires and crap. Looks like you got that covered. Nice work!

DUDE.....That hood is amazing! Congrats on getting one, I have heard numerous times that those hoods are rare as hens teeth. I do wonder though, does this mean the subie style one you got will soon be for sale?

wayne. there is only a handfull of people that know my plans. if it all works out it will prolly be one of the most epic things for a sohc car

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:11 pm

that is all for now.

i am going to mess with the front bumper/hood alignment tonight. then the car should be very close to being ready for the road!!!

man... I think everyone on here would LOVE to get their hands on that hood. Your rear speakers look familiar too

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 5:27 pm

yeah. i stole them from you speed. lol. i loved them in your car. and had to copy it... but i put a sub port in the center for some boom boom.

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Thu May 03, 2012 11:43 am

my first dyno pulls will be done on the 15th of may.... i am going to new era performance in rochester. it is a dynojet dyno a friend of mine and i are going. he just bought a c6 vette with a supercharger on it. he is going to go get a full tune. i am just going to go for a few pulls.

this will be a "street" dyno setup.. only 15psi...
(i would like to go back up on the 25psi setup later)

anyone want to take some guesses on what i will put out?

r/tguy02 · Post by **r/tguy02** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:18 pm

you spraying on these pulls or no?

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:32 pm

no spray. just all turbo. the tune is not setup for spray..... yet...

r/tguy02 · Post by **r/tguy02** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:53 pm

on low boost i'll say 350hp and about the same for tq

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:54 pm

i was thinking around 330.. not sure though... i am trying to not get my hopes up to much...

i really want a 25psi run. but i will not have the time for the tune between now and then.

r/tguy02 · Post by **r/tguy02** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:58 pm

yeah dyno's are good at crushing dreams

RobsProjectSOHC · Post by **RobsProjectSOHC** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:58 pm

I woulda drove out for this for sure.....except i just got 325$fine for the driver assestment program. Gotta love NY state...rape you any way they can.

For prediction....350,375hp
with 23984729387578923 torque. Thank god for the crash bar to hold onto. lol

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Sun May 13, 2012 8:46 am

alright. i did a few wot pulls list past week in 4th gear... i was shocked how fast this car got to well over 120 (think about it, haha)

i was just monitoring my afrs at wot in that gear... they are setting farly good at 11.2... i know it is rich but i am ok with it. these pulls on tuesday are not for MAX power. just a safe daily tune.... i am hoping to see 300whp. if so i am happy with the car for a daily tune/safe tune...

BlackRoseRacing · Post by **BlackRoseRacing** » Tue May 15, 2012 5:28 am

300, thats it?

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Tue May 15, 2012 6:54 am

i am trying to not get my hopes high so i will not be disappointed... hahahhahaha

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Tue May 15, 2012 3:24 pm

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Tue May 15, 2012 6:21 pm
