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....

I thought you were having financial issues and were debating to sell the 8 altogether?

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

My engineering friends always tell me black absorbs light not heat.

I'd guess your car has about 220-240whp. I havent seen Profec RX8's with much more than that...unless i've missed something.

Gotta work Chrism...

I'm going to try to get a video tonight heading to work, I don't know how good it will be considering I have to hold the camera and shift at the same time, but it will be better than nothing.

He is using the Int-X for engine management. ;)

Can't wait to see some vids Acclaim99.

:cool:

Acclaim99 09-21-2006 06:23 AM

Ok I got a few... not the greatest, and it was kinda hard to keep FT, watch RPMs, and shift....

I'll post them when I get home after work (around 3pm est)

Acclaim99 09-21-2006 03:29 PM

it keeps saying video being optimized.

well, here are the links anway, i tried, one time i had to shift with the hand holding the camera.. oh well.

It's there, it says interceptor x ems before the exhaust!

RealityRx8 09-21-2006 07:27 PM

Are you shifting early in the RPM range on purpose? or is that a limitation caused by the turbo setup..

:rofl:

Profec is the boost controller
Int-X EMS (engine management system)

Sounds like your resolution is set too high on your monitor dmp.

jk I thought the same thing when I saw EMS ...e-Management System...

turbo doesnt limit anything, just was too busy watching the road n stuff....

dtorre 09-22-2006 01:44 AM

Well atleast with the early shifting you could see how the engine still had power too push through 3rd and 4th like nothing at less than optimized shift speeds (( example: in vid 2 I believe it shows how his car pulls from 60 to over 80 in 4th at better speeds than a stock 8 would pull from the same speed in 3rd)) nice setup =)
