Nope. Heard something that it might be shipping this week, not holding my breath. Won't be making the event.

Man I am more than surprised they are dragging their feet on this. You would think they would want that in and working for you properly.

On the Chiller install I could have probably saw that coming. this is why I've waited for a completely plug and play kit to hit the market from an absolutely trusted source.

I know a guy trying to move a brand new set, anyone interested? $375 with blanket.

I don't remember mine having those reliefs in that port area? Is that only on one side? They're in the top photo but not the bottom?

No idea, their a friends, he bought them direct from FI and a chiller, sold the chiller, has the rails left, he’s not in the forums, lives in Phoenix by my daughter. Just trying to help him sell them.

Nice work bench

Nice work bench

I need more Matts I marked the wood up a little 😢

 

[Speedy!]

Meh, that's what it's for, mine's marked up too. My older work bench had a steel top. Can't hardly find that for new ones.

Biggest mark I found. Not terrible

 

[jonx96]

glad to see dodge fixed the fuel rails and the connection. That thing isn’t just going to fall off if not popped on just right.

That mark on the rotors can be fixed right up with a Sharpie

What you think happened?

 

[jonx96]

What you think happened?

Nothing I’m overally concerned about. As hard as the blower has been spun in impressed

It's sort of amazing that the coating, which to my understanding is basically just sprayed on, doesn't just sling off at the rpm's the rotors see.

Some people are spinning it much harder than I do. But yes I was pretty happy/surprised with the results. I’m adding an ice box over winter which should also help

I’m finding myself starting to go into uncharted territory. I’m wondering if I may even see a gain with a CAI.
Stock blower no nos wanting a 8.6 is going to be a challenge.

I don’t want to be a wet blanket but I don’t think it’s possible with stock blower only. I ran 8.7 at 4500 but that was with a 426 with Thiteks and a properly set up 4.5 Whipple. Aggressively tuned by Barth on E90, it made 1200whp and ran that with a 1.27 sixty. Once you get to that 9.0 barrier it gets harder. A lot harder 😳

Well I went 8.88 sucking the throttle body closed. I’m porting the blower doing a snout adding a 108 throttle body.
the throttle body alone was a good .08 id say at least. If the ported blower and throttle body really adds 85hp I’ll be close. Plus I can still drop pulley and see if it gains anything. With the ice box I am installing I think a smaller pulley may be possible. Just going to beat the crap out of the blower doing it.
I am adding long tubes. Prolly won’t gain a lot from those but I will drop pressure. It won’t be easy that’s for sure.
O my 8.88 was still on a 17. The car still has a little diet it can go on.
Maybe if I came down to Houston it would be possible in that air. But that’s a commute

Wow I wasn’t aware you did that with those limitations. Outstanding! It would be great if you could make it to Houston. I’m coming out with two other cars from Utah. With the cost of travel now it’s just stupid, but that will be the one trip that will be worth it just because of the people who will be there and the way it’s organized. There won’t be anything else like it for us. The air and track will be a bonus. I don’t see making any of the MSHS events so other than Houston, we’ll be pretty much stuck out west.
