2GN.ORG

I was out of town earlier today getting an alignment done finally by this performance shop and in their shop they had this nice 1gn neon with the 2.4 swap and custom everything sorta.From what i saw it has a big ass turbo.custom headers..he worked on the head alone for like 2 months. i wasnt able to talk to the guy who built it because he wasnt there but the other fellow adjusting my alignment was telling me about the car. i looked underneath and it had the solid metal bushings on the LCA..so yea its hooked up.

anyways.. i didnt take a picture of the dyno sheet but he showed me it and it had a awesome power curve and it Dynoed in at 609HP.
o yeah and it runs 10Sec flat at the track.
o yeah and its running on MegaSquirt as well.
they also got a Dyno next door wich he told me i could come on by and have a test run and tune whenever i get my stuff together..cause i told him my plans as far and engine mods was concerned.
oo yeah and almost forgot.. its running at 24LBS of boost at the moment..he said something about fixing a fuel problem or something but when they get that adjusted then they are going to turn it up to 30LBS. wich they hope to make like 650HP or so.

Awesome

Custom headers? Oh snap!

when i said custom i think i meant to say ive seen them before somewhere on a website and they are like considered stage 3 type headers i think.

but i know the turbo was mounted very low..i wish i woulda tooken a better pic of them.

^^ nice. yep thats him.

his name is Matt Monday.

i wish he woulda been there. coulda asked him some stuff.

650 HP? Meh... I could beat that car. (if he blows it up before making it to the starting line)

What's Erick running? Should be a good race, no?

i am thinking you are right random1, good race more than likely.... even though i think erick wants to get lower than tens if i remember corectly.. (or that is his goal atleast)

Oh I'm pretty sure he's aiming for 9's, I meant with the setup he has currently though.

I would say that they are very close.

whats the name of the race shop i wanna see it, and im looking for better performance shops.

Matt Tripp parted his out long ago, chassis has been passed along 1-2 times since. That's Matt Monday's car. I'm shipping him some koni's to get revalved. I believe he's had the car at the track once this year, 10.37 @ 146 or something.

i tihnk tripp's engine is still for sale.

Just spent an hour or so reading his log... that car is amazing
