My 05 V6 with a Vortech....

I shot a couple of short video clips last night! They are short because the car goes to 80 MPH pretty dang fast!!

Couple of comments:

1) The 1st clip is from a 55MPH roll in 4th gear (just below 3000 RPM). You can see the boost gauge (left most gauge) jump right up as soon as I touch the gas. When the car downshifts it shoots right up to almost 10PSI... Before I know it i was at 80+! YIKES!!!

2) I couldn't spring for a wideband A/F guage so we stuck one of the silly ones that works off the stock o2 sensors... While you can't use it to tune the car it does give you an indication that everything is pretty much ok... while you are just cruising a long is should be bouncing between red (lean) and green (rich) which it does... When I nail it you'll notice it peg green and stays there! That is actually what you want to see... if it doesn't do that then I know something isn't right! So yes, a wideband would be 100 times better but at least what I do have is better than nothing!

3) The 2nd and 3rd clip are just from a stop... I did not try to launch! These were simply foot off the brake and then press down on the gas! LOL!

4)Crusing along at 60 MPH in 4th gear puts me just under 3000 RPM... the perfect spot to bounce on some poor unexpecting V8 that was fooled my single exhaust! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Ok... here is the video!
