different valves will work for different setups, keep that in mind, and randy's is about as different as they come right now.
 
There's an MS3 on another forum running the GT35R already, he's got it set to only 10psi and he doesn't hit full boost until 4,000 lol.

im on the fence about the synapse... i feel better about it than i did. im still getting used to everything about the car now and im not sure my impressions can always be referenced when it comes to stuff like this
 
So I gotta ask... how much did everything run ya? Cause I was thinking about doing something like this later on down the road to be honest. I was just curious.
 
dont do it if you have to ask....lol

lol... oh I know its a lot!!! I will just gradually get to the point where your at. Like over a year or so. I bet tuning was crazy expensive!! Let me just ask this then... Could I buy 2 MS3's for the price of all your mods lol.
 
Nice work Randy, Ken, et al. Randy, can you drive the strip? We really need to see 11's!
 
Randy.

It is quite easy to imagine all the benefits of your mods- power torque etc but what are the negatives?

You mentioned bad torque steer, what else is worse now being that this is your DD. Are there any new rattles, strange noises, huge turbo lag or drivability issues. Not trying to put a dampener on your success, just trying to put it all in perspective, we all know every time you squeeze more power form a car you make a compromise somewhere else, would you mind sharing this side of your experience.

Cheers Mike.

Ive done very little of the work on this car myself. my entire installation costs are somewhere in the 4000-4500 range.... but ive had over 100 dyno pulls, and my tuner and I have become close enough that i get tons of free stuff done.... I really dont pay much for the tuning and the dynos. All the parts are well above 10 grand. I need to go add it all up. I'll get a number here this afternoon. Ken has hooked me up here and there too though. I dont ask for many discounts though. hes got a make a living and his prices are pretty awesome to begin with. Thanks Ken and CPE for all the FREE advice... sometimes we forget how valuable that is and often its THE ADVICE and support that sets folks apart.

I will be driving it and at this point I am also planning on getting Driver311...Laloosh, et al... out here in the spring or summer for a social/racing event somewhere in the middle atlantic. It will be a big meet and should be fun. We're goonna see how many guys we can put together.

The car is definitely much more raw than stock... turbo lag is not a problem(full spool at around 3700-3800). I worry alot when I drive it... just because I have never modded a car like this before and it is a new experience. but I think the worry is more me than the car at this point.

I dd it. Its got 1500 hard driven miles on it since the last batch of installs and im getting much more comfortable with it... the noise, vibrations etc... are definitely there but there isnt anybody in the country who wouldnt trade the driving experience they have...... for the one I have.

I dont feel like theres any drawbacks... my car feels like a racecar now, but still very easy to dd.

Enjoy your car man, thanks
 
Interesting stock was like 224whp wasn`t it so 350whp would give us roughly 409hp@crank that is sick.You can take on alot of exotic cars with that kind of power,but i`d imagine you would need 15-16" rims with 255-265 front and rear tires:-)
Unbelievable well accomplished guys.
