Whipplecharged and dyno'd my GT....

[2112]

Are 3.3s still available new? Just curious.

It was a real pleasure to meet Fred and work on his ultra-clean car. We had everthing layed out and ready to install and everything went on without a hitch. The only problem we had was that AlohaGT's (older) SCT device didn't want to talk to Fred's car - despite that we went through the divorce proceedings with Aloha's GT earlier in the week. The hero of the day was Torrie - sending us a very good Whipple tune while we had the car all strapped down on the dyno. Talk about "just in time"!! Anyway, the generic tune was good but there was (as ususal), room for improvement. I'll probably make a seperate thread about this including more details, but I think we have more or less perfected the process of doing a Torrie custom tune with Torrie being in the comfort of his own home... or is it that cat house or wherever it is that he hangs out!! We have downloaded all of the SCT software that has the ability to capture basically any engine paramter you want and datalog those during the dyno pull. Torrie sent us his custom configuration file to get the data recorded to his liking. We then do a dyno pull - collecting all of this information and, of course, on the dyno PC, we have the Dynojet file with the HP, TQ, Boost, and A/F data. From within the car, Ryan emails Torrie the engine parameter log and from the dyno PC, I email him the dynojet log. Then we sit around and bullshit for 5 minutes or so while Torrie pours over the data and tweaks through another tune to remedy any variances he doesn't like from the pull results. After just a few minutes a new tune file arrives via email. Ryan downloads it and then loads it into the engine ECU and we repeat the process all over again.

Quite honestly, this process worked very well. Admittedly, we all enjoy Torrie's company but this is a way to get all of Torrie's considerable engine management tuning expertise without the expense, time, logistics of getting him out here.

At the end of the day, the results speakl for themselves. 750HP and 700 Lb-ft of TQ and with a torque curve that is flat as hell, is pretty damn special. Congrats to Freddy and much deserved thanks to Torrie for the custom tune.

Sooo when are we doing mine?

Kendall needs to make time for his friends first. That guys garage has been non stop since last year. The amount of blue tape him Ryan & use is unbelievable.

Thanks Kendall I was just on the data receiving end here at 9pm on a Friday night doing my job for you guys. I have absolutely no problem jumping in and helping anyone out in this situation. I was just in the end happy that everything was sorted out and it all came together in time. As long as Fast Freddy is happy so am I. :biggrin

Oh and thank you Clinton and Terry ! :lol

what a BEAST!!!

i took the car out today to test it all out in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. the air temp was 70 degrees and heat soak was not an issue as this thing has no traction in 1st gear on brand new Bridgestones whatsoever at practically any rpm or speed when you go wot :eek

2nd gear hooked every time and did not spin the tires no matter what. 3rd gear was ferocious and 4th gear took me to 7,000 rpm's like a bat out of hell :cool

Makes you wonder why you waited so long to get a Whipple

Of course you could be say the same thing about a TT, but smog laws keep me from even thinking about it.

I was told they are only offering the latest 4.0 version and the 3.3 is no longer available. But dont believe everything you here right?

 

[skyrex]

Freddy, you are soon going to be changing your signature to a number north of 200!! :thumbsup :banana

'Ice what is this smog thing you are referring to??? :wink :lol :cheers

That's a reality I have to live with until I move to NV.

We would welcome you with open arms!! :thumbsup

So are you prepped and ready for your assault on 200 April 9th??

Think outside the box, Clinton.

Still have to get a Hans type device and new tires and I should have everything neede to pass 200. With the running start and 1.3 miles I should pass it without much of a problem. Looking forward to it!
