I beg to differ. Maybe the Camaro SS from a dig to about 80mph due to the STI's weight advantage and awd. No way my stage 2 would touch the new 5.0.
With the 20g I can spank an SS from a dig and the 1/4 mile. I have not rolled with a 5.0 yet but strictly speaking numbers, it would be a crawl away race and the better driver wins; IMO.
But I did something last week and here is what arrived yesterday....:tard:
Dom 3xtr, 8cm2, 3", coated and welded for ewg.

I have nothing more I can say as I have not raced any and am strictly running by the numbers and other posts on forums.
I cannot believe how many camaros are on the streets; well actually i can. The cool factor towards GM's re-design has faded fast with me. They are around like water. The 5.0 are not so frequent yet in my area; at least from observation.
Took the wife out to dinner last night and she had not been in my car since the mods. I rolled at the on-ramp while she was chatting away---and she stopped talking. When i let off she was like, " Rob, you need to take this to Bandimere". She's a muscle car fan and just paid her respects to my import; that was cool.

Hey Bud, yeah pretty excited. I almost bought an FP Green/ Element Gt52 but was worried I would not hit my goal. Then it was ATP 3076 on the radar. A couple weeks back I was on Blouch' site and there was the 8cm2 option! I was like, sheet!, and called Blouch and confirmed, picked my extras, and paid for it.
Yeah this will be interesting. Blouch stated that I will lose top end (about 20whp) up top. I'm not so sure and feel optimistic that my EWG will minimize the loss. I've seen several threads where people with 7 and 8cm 20g's and EWG have held their power. The regular dom 3 did pretty well on meth/e385.
Guess I'll be the guinnea pig on July 9th. Harvey and I are going to do the Swap that morning then drive the crap out of it---dialing it in. I'll post that night for sure.
You may loose a little top end but it will be more than made up for in the low end. It looks like you'll have a nice power band. :tup:

Well, my Blouch 3 was shipped to Grimmspeed yesterday for their PNP service along with a PNP Throttle Body exchange. The two "might" buy me a couple more hundred RPM spool up over and above the new 8cm2 option from Blouch. Not that I am too concerend with lag; I know what to expect from a 47lb turbo to 55.
Anybody have these pnp services done on their turbo and/or TB ?

Was there a difference, from the butt dyno, with the pnp TB?
Is there anything that you are not considering modifying?

This the first I have read of this. Engaged Performance is sending me a pnp throttle body through core exchange. Hopefully i' m not one of these experiences.

Wow. Was this from a stop or roll? From a dig I think most stage 2 can take or stay even.
Yeah I'll let you know on bandimere.
I believe it. They have ~365whp and weigh 3,600 lbs. They have a slight power to weight advantage but I bet our gearing is quicker.
I was admittedly surprised at first but then i had similar thoughts as jared. My shifting seemed much quicker than his, and the flat foot was awesomely helpful. Were also at altitude, so im at ~300 whp at this altitude, whereas is ~365 is probably a little less from what I've heard about altitude effects on hp.
I threw all of it on at the same time along with ported tgv's. I was running a gimp map before then due to the STi swap and gutted DP, so not exactly sure.

Do all of you on E85 smell it at idle in cabin ? Meaning, I think I'm running way rich in that I smell all around the car, inside the cabin, and worse going from sport to sport sharp.
Might be in the tune; will have to wait until July 9th for that.
I received a CEL cylinder misfire this morning along with poor idle and shake. I reset the ecu and restart. It's fine. I have had 3 CEL's over three months; all at cold start up in the morning. The first two were P0303 cylinder 3 with bogus PFFF and PFFE codes. Gonna go and pick up some new NGK 2309's to start.
The three misfires all did the same: 1) rough idle, 2) stumble/shake effect when revving 3) poor acceleration. The only symptom I have consistently is that it takes a few milliseconds longer to turn over. Hardly noticable but there.
My next step after plugs is to look at Okada Projects ignition amplifiers and/or coil packs. Any thoughts ?
