my biggest goal is fast ass 1/8 mile times and take it to the 1/4 once in a while (1/8 mile is 40 miles and the closest 1/4 is about 2 hours lol)

my biggest goal is fast ass 1/8 mile times and take it to the 1/4 once in a while (1/8 mile is 40 miles and the closest 1/4 is about 2 hours lol)

Yea i just got all excited when i seen them lol. So is wanting to reach my 450-500whp goal totally possible with the st2 cam and that turbo, or would i wanna go with a little bit bigger turbo or diff cam? also thank you for giving me an rpm range of spool ive been asking a bunch of people and never get any response aside from quick or slow lol
10-29-2012
Most from around .60- .8X ar will spool around 3500-4XXX rpm.
The st2 was a special cam.. All the high hp cars in the st2 list are all consistent around 5xx whp
10-29-2012
Special as in can't imitate with custom grind or special as in a really ****in good cam? Lol because that turbo kit with a custom grind like the st2 is kinda the setup I'm starting to lean towards.
Also is the l26 top that much better? Because zzp jus told me to run the l36 with the hv3 insert. So I'm jus tryin to decide what will be better for my setup
Also lets be honest will drag radials be enough to hook or will slicks be needed? I have a friend running Toyo proxis drag radials and he says they hook great but I know a turbo build is way more power n harder launches than his s/c build
10-29-2012
Special as in it made damn good numbers.
Just run the l36, I don't know why everyone says l26 or gtfo.... Personally, the l26 is kind of a fail in my eyes in some aspects.
For the most part drag radials will be good enough.
10-29-2012
Stattama.com has all the cam specs on the site.
I like that the l26 is aluminum and I'm running it with the insert. Nothing wrong with the l36 upper really but I thought I heard they can't handle really high boost.

I doubt that, but if it was said then I can imagine that it was a freak occurrence if it did actually happen where the uim was already damaged.Originally Posted by Swiggles

j/w but what kinda boost #s COULD I be talkin off of all this? will i be raising my shift points/rev limit? and should i be runing the 85mm maf or is the stock maf good enough?
10-29-2012
A good boost range is around 14-20 pounds.
With a cam, yes you will want to spin higher than 6k.
Run the stock 99+ maf with an afc
10-29-2012
Air fuel controller? Will I need that with me owning hpt?
10-29-2012
Just an fyi on zzp's site they have a used st3 cam for sale. Not sure if anyone is running one of those, an in between lift.
10-30-2012
I forgot about that st3 for sale. Thanks for bringing that up.
Yes, you will still need the afc to scale the maf tables. You can't just do it with hpt
10-30-2012
The afc scales how the PCM reads the maf single so that you have more room on the maf. Hpt doesn't have that ability. You should a stock ported tb with the 99+ maf as said above, most have had trouble tuning with the bigger tbs.

Would the st3 be jus as good as the St2? I noticed the intake lift is a lil more, and dip you have any recommendations on a good afc?
10-31-2012
There's only one afc... The one zzp sells
10-31-2012
OK I wasn't sure I seen the mini one and the gauge one but wasn't sure if others made any diff ones or not..
Thanks ALOT for all your help guys seriously its greatly appreciated. Ima start piecing everything together finally lol.
Also does anyone know how to get ahold of triple edge performance? I've sent several emails to there email on there site but haven't herd back from anyone and Im needing a trans soon lol
11-01-2012
Don't give up on Dave and Triple Edge, yeah it takes a while for him to answer emails some times but he is a great guy and really knows these transmissions. Quickest way to contact would be to call. When he is busy, he doesn't have time to sort through all his emails. He is modding my valvebody right now and I ordered some other parts I needed to finish my transmission build. Awesome company! Worth the wait to get ahold of him.
On another note, I am pretty sure I saw a complete l26 uim/lim combo for sale on here in the classifieds for pretty cheap. IF not, it was one of the other 2 grand prix sites I visit. Not sure if it was already plugged or not, but like someone else said, you can tap and plug the injector holes probably easier than welding. The manifold I bought was done that way with anodized pipe plugs in the holes. You decide to buy a new kit or a used one?
10-31-2012
should be able to call em. or send dave a pm on here. "trannyman95"
10-31-2012
The AFC lowers the reported frequency.
Its not a scaling of the maf table.
10-31-2012
right i just couldnt think of how to say that matt lol.
i recommend the fixed afc, its easier to tune with. the gauge afc is new and i hadnt heard of it until you mentioned it.
call tep and leave a message if they dont answer, Dave will definitely call you back. he gets really busy at times and can take awhile to get back to emails.
