Look what TRJ has been up to

[TRJ]

Decided to go with a different Intake Manifold. The LS6 flows a lot more than the LS2, because of it's larger lobes, and larger throttle body.(90mm vs 85mm) Should pick up an additional 12-15 HP, according to Lingenfelter Engineers. They stopped using the FAST brand intake manifolds because too many of them were separating. (Three layer composite material)  They should install it tomorrow morning, and then on the Dyno in the afternoon...:v

Here's the LS6 Intake Manifold.

Hey VO, here's the package you were interested in. The M122 is the latest, more potent, upgrade of the M12 Magnacharger...:spook

Here's the car that went thru the Dyno final run before closing. It's a 2005 Corvette C6 with the A4 auto trans.
Avid drag racer...:v

M122 Magnacharger SC on a 427 CID 550/560 LPE package.



The car on the final dyno run.



Final dyno run for the above car. 603.7 RWHP  619.8 RWTQ
From 2000 RPM to 6000 RPM it never produces less than 500 RWTQ...;50  just insane!

Thanks for that info TRJ. ;42

I just want one... ;46

It's my understanding that the above power was made on only 6.0 lbs. of boost...;eek

Hi 69VETTE,

Emmision testing begins on cars here after they become (4) years old. So, no concern till then. Having headers, and aftermarket exhaust systems poses no problems, as long as you have quality catalytic convertors. Even the free flowing cats like I have, will pass emissions testing, if the cats are not too old. Glad you like the pics. Should get some today with the car on the Dyno, and the Dyno final number results...I'll post them as I get them...;42

If only  you and your car were over here TRJ - you and Boschie could line up for a race we could call "Clash of The Titan's". ;41;46;42

[MADVET]

The quarter mile is the international standard, we'll easily be able to compare notes.;41;42

[TRJ]

Well, I was mistaken yesterday, the tech's did not finish the install of the new LS6 Intake Manifold until this afternoon (Wed. here) so the Dyno runs will happen tomorrow morning. I received (5) photos of the LS6 Intake Manifold install this afternoon, plus (2) others, LPE Custom Mats, and my car all cleaned up....an appointment has been made for my car to be picked up late tomorrow, by Autobahn Transport, and delivered to me on Friday morning...Finally!...;35

Here's the photos...;42

Gday TJR Nothing to do with your car (which would be a dream to have in my garage), but I noticed in your last picture what apears to be a Holden monaro (AU) in the background which would be a pontiac GTO (USA) over there,Am I correct ? and do you know what they might be doing to it.

G'day vette2bshaw,
The photos you refer to were taken by the sales rep. that is handling my build package. When I talk with him tomorrow, I'll ask him what is going on with the car. You will be surprised to know, (as I was) to find out that as of yesterday, they had 60 cars there for various modifications. People make their appointments months in advance to have their cars worked on by the Lingenfelter tech's. This is their busiest time of the year since everyone wants their car for our Spring and Summer.

They have a seperate large building that they keep all the cars in, so none of them have to be out in the weather while they wait their turn....;42

Sorry TJR dont go out of your way. Just noticed it in the background .

O.K. vette2bshaw, the person I talked to today didn't have any info on it anyhow...;42

[TRJ]

Well, I got a bit of a set-back today, It was supposed to be my car's turn on the Dyno today, but no go! This morning a Z06 broke down while on the Dyno, and the engineers are trying to get the car sorted out. I probably won't get on till Monday (here) now.  One bit of good news, the person that does the Video work for Lingenfelter's agreed to take a Video of my car on the Dyno, I'll post that and the Dyno sheet as soon as I get them...here's a couple of pics I received from my sales rep. of the new coil-covers he designed for my car. He does a great job...;42

[Vette Obsessed]

Well TRJ, for what it's worth, I'm on the wrong side of the pond and I'm anxious for you to get the car back. ;41 :spook:spook:spook:spook:spook:spook:24

You bet Cam, specially since I know that the car is all done except for the Dyno tuning. They estimate now that my car should be on the Dyno either Mon. or Tue. and ship the car back to me by Wed. morning.  I don't feel too bad though, I've kept myself busy...I've detailed the garage twice, put Zaino on my racing jack, even gave the neighbors dog a haircut...hope they don't notice...;53

[TRJ]

Hi Gang,

I'ts  Fri. evening here, I received an email from Lingenfelters a few hours ago, saying that my car is on the Dyno now! It will be tuned and calibrated tonight and tomorrow morning. A video will be taken of a run tomorrow morning, and I am supposed to receive a phone call with the results of the final run before noon tomorrow! WooHoo! see you then...;35
