New Best: FP 3575 + AEM magic

I was finally able to put together some nice back to back runs since I switch to AEM and FP3575.

I had a pretty good day:

1. Dyno 528whp (FWD mode)
2. Set my highest ET and trap speed of 10.58 @138mph.
3. Reset my highest ET at 10.301 @ 140.43 (that is right 140mph!!! )
4. Won the most competitive Street Shootout class ever! (four 10 sec cars all in the semi-finals)
5. Reset my highest trap speed at 140.52

This was with relatively heavy 2870lbs car.

BTW dropping the cat back exhaust (leaving 3” down pipe and test pipe) gave me extra 3 MPH in the next run!!! This backs up similar results I had one year ago.

I am going to go back next Wed. with Mike Rizz’s Hoosiers and with light doors .

:eek: :eek: Congratulations man! Those are some awesome times! I would think you would dyno more at the wheels, what boost was you running? Just curious, my cousin dynoed @ 607.8 whp@34psi on the FP 3565 last year, but never made it down the track.

Welcome to spot #5!

Thanks guys!

I dropped the cat-back after I got to the track. So I am sure I was making a bit more than the dyno run indicated.

I am sure that this turbo has a LOT more left in it! At ~33psi it is just staring to warm up .

Congrats Leon!

.......that was a sick performance! And as I said on our board, the car sounds incredible, somewhat different than what I'm used to hearing out of a DSM. I would agree that single digits are in your future........Good Luck Wed. night.! Good to talk for a few minutes anyway, thanks for the pointers on where I should go with my upcoming configuration.

Thanks guys!

This year’s shootout was a disappointment for me because of a bad AEM MAP sensor. In some ways, this weekend was a redemption .

yeah Leon is a nut like that with his crazy low times without nitrous.

Gratz Leon the GM is a 10 second beast again... hahah by again i mean like for the 100th time depending on the turbo he uses.

Leon, how is tuning with the AMS? doing well with it?

Do you really need to ask? I had some problems with a MAP sensor, but otherwise it is great!

Just to remind everyone.. Curt Brown went 9:40s with no nitrous a year ago.

Mark, we all know that Curt is THE MAN!

>You are running a Slowboy Motor right?

Yep, “only” a stage 2, 2.0 motor and I am very happy with it!

>and didnt you run only 5 mph slower on a much smaller
>SBR GT-13 and only a VPC???

GT-13 is also a fine turbo but I would hardly call it “much smaller” than my current turbo.

But I am also at the very beginning of learning AEM EMS, I only had it for 2 months (most which was spent troubleshooting a bad MAP sensor) and I have a LOT more to learn! This run was done with a very conservative 11.4-11.6 A/F ratio on C-16 race gas.

He ran 9:40s and only 5mph faster .... I did hear his chassis is for sale.. I hear it has some majic left in it..

GT-13 is also a fine turbo but I would hardly call it “much smaller” than my current turbo.

Well if you think its isnt much smaller here is a pic for those of you that understand the concepts of inducer/exducer ratios and sizes.. From left to right.. Just for comparison is the SBR GT-10. Middle is the SBR-GT 13 wheel, and on the right The "leon" turbo ... I think there is a significant size difference here.

Ya Leaner is meaner.. 14.1 (nate says so)

oh yea.. just a rumor .. i heard over 600WHP on our T-67 in our cast housing.. but i heard it was just a rumor
