Any kind of official or unofficial get together? What happened to the Bony memorial gathering?

Got it, I know exactly where that is. I always walk the outside areas before the floor opens.


It will be outside, I am told near the Ford exhibit but I don’t really know. I’ll post up details as soon as I have them.

Yes -" If you're going to SEMA this year, and would like to get together with me, I'll be at the Palm Restaurant (in Caesar's Palace Arcade) on Wednesday evening from 6pm until about 8.

I look forward to seeing any of you - please pass this along to any other GT owners that you know will be at SEMA. Ralphie.

The notice must be posted in Alpha Centauri :)

If it was the one at Caesars something else came up and I couldn't make it. Maybe next year!

Hope everyone is having a great time!

I am a big fan of your project! Maybe I missed it somewhere, but have you posted any output numbers yet (even preliminary)? Hp/tq, boost level, etc. Must be impressive.

Well we did some break-in dynos and noticed the car was miss-firing at lower rpms, we assume it has a bad coil but the exhaust gas temp sensors were not setup at the time so we couldn’t narrow it down to which cylinder. We were also running low on time with SEMA looming. The limited dyno information we gathered showed that around 5-6lbs of boost, at just 6k rpm, the car was north of 550hp... the hp power curve had not begun to level off so it is assume there is quite a bit left... that’s all we know for sure. It was making more power than I expected at low boost levels and conservative timing.

We literally finished up everything the days leading up to SEMA so we just havent gone back and done a full pump gas tune yet. The plan is to be on a dyno as soon as possible after the truck unloads the car in Dallas. After we make our first couple of 1,000 hp pulls, we go back and retorque the head bolts... then we go for broke. E85, Race fuels and finally a little laughing gas just so we can say “Go Baby, Go!”

It can go back to stock in about a week bud. Then you can enjoy driving a GT again. Buy a stock motor, use stock pcm and wiring harness, take all the crap off it and just enjoy the car! 30k and you are driving your GT again.

I am not sure if I posted this here but this was a video I made for my kids friends. They wanted to know what the heck I did.... sometimes, I do too.
