We've already had the 4cyl up by 10 psi but we didn't want to push the auto car to much, its not our car to break.
Remember we are tuning on a SAE DYNO scale, this is arguably the most real HP scale used by racers and professionals race car builders. One could say "adjusted" this car produced 200WHP. Which for all intensive purposes it does have. It feels extremely strong right through the RPM band. It feels similar to the 6cyl cars mainly because the HP and torque is the same. The closer those 2 #'s are, the more linear the acceleration will feel and be. That's why we wanted a 5SPD to run some HP numbers.
Basically the SDS kit is done. The same kit on the Auto car that we posted PICS of will also fit and power the 5SPD cars. The only difference is the addition of a different boost pulley. The fuel maps will need to be modified. We do all this.
Right now there is only one kit and its on the Galant... I wanted to make a first run. and get production going to get the machine costs down.
Should we start a group buy?
$3495 full kit 5SPD or auto. 5 people. If we can get 10 I'll shoot for $3400.00 but we need to regroup fast because I want to get moving on this.
I need to order a lot of stuff and we're (RIPP) spent out pretty deep right now... So if you guys are ready, if you don't want to wait until summer we can set up guaranteed deposits. You can leave a $1500-$2000 deposit and we will lock you in to a kit. If we don't produce it will be fully reimbursable. We feel if we can order within the next 2-3 weeks, we can have product in your hands in 4-6 weeks. Again based on deposits ... everyone on our end needs to get paid so we need to set this system up.
As for the test car its really just a matter of needing a 5SPD to get some real HP #'s. We feel like there is so much more room for tuning the auto car is holding us up a bit. We really wan to put down the 200+ WHP we can get out of this set up.
We believe that the addition of an Intercooler on the 4cyl running over 10psi will be possible and real power will start coming out. But without a volunteer we will not know. We will always tune on a safe curve, we are not blowing anyone's car up, we just want to get the message across that there is a lot of room for tuning with this set up.
Thanks for all the support.
Sincerely,
Ross
