Default What I did on my winter vacation!

Well my S wasn't sitting in hibernation the entire winter, it came out a little bit early
for some small modifications. Pulled it out in February, thank goodness the roads were dry!

Here's the only hint you are getting.



Any guesses?

Well the answer is clear, he added A-pillar gauges
Now the big question, are they connected to anything or is this all just a flash in the pan?

That lower gauge that is out of focus looks like a boost gauge to me...

There's gotta be more to that picture for sure. I agree with Marc. There probably is boost involved

You guys are too smart for me.

Yessir, I am now an official member of the Forced Induction club.

Scott at Ballistic Motorsports in Bow, NH. installed a Vortech V3 polished supercharger in my S.



I bought the kit off an s2ki member who had it completely rebuilt by Vortech and never put it
back on his S. The kit is about $6500 new, I got it from him for $3500 shipped.

Scott also installed a Comp Stage 2 clutch, RC Engineering 750cc fuel injectors, a Walbro high
output fuel pump, a Greddy Emanage Ultimate with Boomslang harness, the 2 AEM gauges (wideband
and boost) and an aftercooler, mounted in the front grill, painted black. So from the outside
of the car, you can't tell the car is FI.

Here is the dyno sheet:



My S is now making 387whp and 260 ft/lbs of torque! Which means over 400hp at the crank!!

When I first drove it, it was so fast I literally scared myself! The torque and power, as you
can see from the dyno sheet, is constant throughout the band, very little lag at all!

I was spinning my bald RE-01R's in 2nd and 3rd gear under WOT.

I couldn't be happier with it! Scott did a great job and I've had no problems at all with it.

that is awesome Mark. Congratulations!!

Remind me never to go to Watkins Glen with you again I also propose that all FI cars have a separate group drive so the rest of us don't have to breathe in black smoke and scorched rubber
