Very cool. How does it handle?

Looks nice!
 

Any performance issues?
How is your boost holding up?
Have you made any engine mods?

so many questions.... sry. :)

nice sleeper

Ditto...

Handles great, I've had no traction/handing problems.

Boost is better than I thought... I am holding 9 without any major tuning that I have done....

No other engine mods besides a MS cat back, still adding more, I just started.

Have you hit the dyno yet? If so what are you putting down?

No not yet. Other 8's I've seen with similar set ups were around 280-300, I don't think it's too much less than that...

Did you dyno before by chance?

Paul.

Unfortunatly not... Other people say the stock 8 has 180rwhp? *shrug*

Looks nice. Thanks for being a test mule for us future modders. :-)

whoa, sleeper....

major "sleeper"

VERY unsuspecting.

coming next week to the dyno/show meet in PA?.....bring it!!

I say paint the intercooler black and re-circulate the bov and you'll have the OEM appearance completed.

YOu do know that he will have decrease in cooling if he powercoats (or ... "paint" ) the itnercooler? people have done that and they experience higher temps.

Love it... no exterior mods! perfect.

Where at in PA? Hopefully it's on a Sunday lol.

No, the next mods are: Midpipe, Pulleys, New plugs/wires, then by then I should need a new clutch.

I'm not really doing anything else to the outside....

black obsorbs heat. if anything paint it white or chrome to deflect the heat obsorbtion.


looks like a killer set up! sleeper mode FTW! :icon_tup:

Wow thats a really nice sleeper...very low profiled to the untrained eye :icon_tup:

Nice

This thread sucks without videos

I concur

I've seen arguments that go both ways on this. Basically it came down to what kind of paint you are using and how evenly and thinly it was applied.

I would not just go out and get a can of black spray paint. But I would research the topic and find out more information.
