Thanks Ryan. Yeah that facility is awesome.

Made 681 rwhp on 21-22 psi. Pullied for ~26 psi..but I think I found my issue. We'll see. Hope to hit the dyno again soon.

[AutoMods]

how did you end up fixing the bypass?

[Larsons Fox]

Very impressive on that dyno!

One of these days I will step up to a mod motor...

[snickerlicker]

Nice #'s!

[NicksNova]

That is a way nice dyno set up! Where is that video taken? Do they tune there?

Looks like the new performance shop in Ankeny.

[Phish]

Yeah its at Karl's performance in ankeny. Clint - Crown - does the tuning there

[c_mart_28]

how did you end up fixing the bypass?

Its "fixed." Just extra epoxy on the part.

Only made 21-22 psi on the dyno but found out my supercharger belt tensioner was going bad. The pulley would not free spin at all by hand. We'll see the next nice day if that was the problem or not. We shall see..

[mark87supra]

Good to hear you "fixed" the bypass. Even happier to find out that the bypass was the problem like we thought. Sounds really strong Casey

epoxy? sounds like something that will work all the way until the final round of the manual shootout and then conveniently fail .

[slow ride]

I need to see this thing. I can't see how such a nice blower would have a problem with something like this.

[Domestic Disturbance]

Awesome numbers. That facility is jawdropping

[Phish]

Yeah when i coudlnt believe it myself. The blower looks really good then we pull it off and thers this cheap plastic piece looking all dangly... Was not impressed with that part.

[AutoMods]

did you call the manufacturer ?

[sparkles]

Awesome numbers. That facility is jawdropping
There will be some reality show with that shop as the main character like American Chopper or American Hotrod. Guaranteed.

[BGjohnson]

Still having issues with that damned bypass?!

Once you get those things banged out, let us know!

[c_mart_28]

Drove the car to work today. Took the long way home..

Yep, still only making ~22 lbs of boost. Gotta be that bypass.

Ryan, I called Vortech when it failed initially and they said it was outside of the 90 day warranty. Said I could send it in and they would see what they could do but I decided to pass on that option.

Apparently it is a stock 03/04 Cobra Eaton bypass valve. Thinking about tracking one of those down to replace it. I will get it figured out, one way or another.

Can you rig it shut and test drive it to see how much boost it makes?

[Phish]

That looks alot like the one he has now... The plastic "hat" part to the left in that pic is what keeps coming off and causing issues

[c_mart_28]

Purchased. Thanks, John.

It's time for this red car to make some power! Finally.

[stangvortech]

Yea, no problem!

you going to put the blue beast on the rollers ?

[sparkles]

you going to put the blue beast on the rollers ?
For...?

[AutoMods]

For...?

to support local business. tracks are closed now, we can look at your dyno and punch ET prediction numbers all winter long

[sparkles]

1. When is your appointment then?
2. 15.XX
3. I already have a dyno sheet
4. I've already talked to Clint and Ryan during their open house and made arrangements to get on their dyno for a retune when I get a cam change done sometime before spring.

I don't know whether to be flattered or annoyed with your constant badgering of me. Maybe it's just the typical winter time internet BS. Maybe you're secretly in love with third gens. I honestly don't know. I do however find it laughable at best the amount of effort you put into it. Your head has seemed to have grown a little bit since your slower ET netted you a trophy. I bring up a few questions about your cage, and you turn around and post a irritated response and lock the thread. Ever since then, you've been on my nuts about bringing my car, a car I've repeatedly told you is set up for street/road coarse driving, 3 hours away to a drag race, like I haven't been there and done that before. What's the deal? Now that you've kissed and made up with the Boren's, you gotta find someone else to occupy your internet wit?

[AutoMods]

i wasn't being a smart ass, just honestly wanted to know if you were going to dyno your car being that you live in that area.

don't forget that you heckle with the best of them on this forum. you started our last spat by saying to me "Maybe you're hard of hearing. It's a show car..."

He would like you better if your car was LS powered..

[BGjohnson]

Casey, that's really odd they don't make a billet or full metal version. I'd probably epoxy the new one around the seams, or see what the other guys running high boost are doing.

Not heckling. Pointing out you don't pay attention.

Yeah, at least then I could fit in. That is one suggestion that I'm getting really tired of hearing.

[c_mart_28]

Yeah I agree. I don't want to have to pull this blower off anytime soon.

[Drifte]

Forge makes a wastegate actuator that appears to be the exact same thing. I wonder if you could rig their nice all aluminum actuator up to your supercharger. It was designed for turbos, IDK if it will work, but it certainly wouldnt fall apart.

http://www.forgemotorsport.com/content.asp?catalog=0001&inc=product

[AutoMods]

yea there are a lot of turbo actuators out there I could see it possible to bend the actuator arm or weld on a 90 to get it to work if your replacement doesn't hold up. I have some actuators here that are all metal and like $70

[Sleepy]

Here is a used forge wastegate for $90.00
However sounds like Ryan has a better deal if you are going to fab something yourself.

[GT35Lude]

casey nice numbers reguardless of the issues.

[c_mart_28]

Thanks Ben. Hope all is well your way, haven't talked to you in like 2 years!

[GT35Lude]

things are good. i havent checked the boards in a long time. nice to see some cars getting complete and new projects.

[sparkles]

Here you go buddy. Sorry it took so long.

Sparkles,

I like your car...a lot.

Just saying.

I'm selling my junk and looking for a clean 3rd gen f-body instead of the pile of shit I can't really drive now with that frame/suspension issue.

[sparkles]

More than it should have made. Letting off at 5k.
On a Superflo of coarse.

I'm extremely disappointed I didn't take it to Clint down at Karl's Performance sooner. I've basically been driving around for 2 years with a tune a 4 year old could have done better with. It's night and day from what I had before. No more surging chug of death. Made more power than it did before even with stepping down in cam. I'm extremely happy with it. I never would have guessed it would have made that much on a Superflo with a stock bottom end. I'm going to need to get some better rods this year, or at least rod bolts. Keep in mind, I've got $200 in the bottom end including buying it.

Thanks man. It's taken a long time for me to finally have something I'm proud to say is mine. Lot's of learning what to do and not to do on the last 4 I've had.

We all know who your fanboi's are. There's no secrets around here anyway. 305 with an exhaust leak.

[c_mart_28]

Well done man.

[sparkles]

Hey, do you know approx what time your car is going on the dyno on Fri?

[Clinical]

God I fucking love your car, I'm so tempted to build a junkyard SBC third gen, since it's the only thing I could really afford right now.
I usually don't ask for rides, but if I ever get to Des Moines - I'll race the protochicken and if I win I want a ride, especially around some corners for them MAD TYTE G'S

[SledgeWS6]

Sexy sexy man. That looks like a car a big jacked black man would drive ;)

No secrets.... so how much you spraying?

[Sleepy]

I'd say with that worn out 305 making 500 to the tire, at least a 250 shot.

[90blkbrd]

It isn't worn out nor is it a 305.

Rumor has it it's a LS7. Just kidding.

This is funny. And exactly why I will be going to Omaha to dyno.

save your gas money, i was just kidding

[JacobS]

LOL at nitrous on a road course car.

[JacobS]

i think my car and sparkles car would be a good race. what do ya say sparkles?

[Phish]

Ultimately i would like to think that i am sitting right were sparkles is as far as power goes not sure if thats true or not. And i must admit, he does have a really clean car. I give you props sir. I was impressed to see the numbers come out of it as well. All around its a pretty sweet build.

[SledgeWS6]

LOL at nitrous on a road course car.

I heard he's got like 20 bottles in this thing for the 4-hour race. :D

[90blkbrd]

I heard he's got like 20 bottles in this thing for the 4-hour race. :D

The bottle will be mounted in a quick release bracket where the passenger seat normally resides along with a custom quick disconnect. He is looking for pit crew volunteers to swap them out.

:haha:

[BGjohnson]

He also fills the car with medical grade nitrous while he's racing to feel really good. haha

Looks like a really good curve Sparkly, good job man!
