How soon can we turbo it?

Jelly overload achieved. You're winning pretty hard, good sir
I miss my s550

Emilio, why this over the Camaro SS 1LE?

Just curious, I'm a huge Mustang fan as well.

emilio700 07-17-2017 12:29 AM

I like the looks of the S550 better, flat-plane crank and more coolers.

Agree on 1 & 2.

But the SS 1LE does have oil, trans, and diff coolers.

I'm guessing you got the track pack GT350?

It's an incredible machine. But dare I say it's too fast for my humble driving skills. Congrats.

So when do you release the Xida's and 6UL's.

TurboTim 07-17-2017 02:16 PM

Hey I'm working on finger followers for the Voodoo. Well, I should be, but I'm on miataturbo instead.

Congrats, interested in seeing what you do with it.

We should have the Xida ACE next week. We will be one of the beta testers for the DSC control system.

6UL's unknown. We're just starting the data gathering process. Primary issue is lack of 200 or Super200 tires for it. Two best HPDE tire options are factory 19" PSS2 or Toyo R888R in 20".
Hoosier has a perfect size 19" A7/R7 but I'm skeptical that market is big enough to justify a whole new casting tool.

Another issue is the eleventy billion other wheels available to suit any single one of your heart's desires, from poverty to balleur budget.

The GT350/R are their own market to some extent. Suspension, tire clearance and diameters are a bit different than the GT and V6. Any casting tool we do for the GT350 can be made 1" narrower for the GT though.
So for the GT, yes, many choices. For the GT350, very few track specific options in one piece LP cast/ Flow Formed.

My friend Sean struggled to find a non-Chineseium 19" setup for his 1LE. Ended up bending two of the wheels he did buy almost immediately. The market is ripe.

I saw that video earlier today on another forum. As much as I want to be a luddite, the GT350 and 1LE make it tough to argue.

So you sold your C6Z for this? How does it compare?

EDIT: Just follow the link Emilio already provided if you want that question answered.
