Torque South's black 2013 BUICK TURBO project

[Boost]

Cobb of So.Cal...? I know where they are.

Yes I believe so. It's a big company they do lots of tuning & products for a variety of stuff like 350Z, Mazdaspeed3 and Focus ST.

LML pulls hard.

lol, Honda snacks.

yes Joe, they were trying to scare me with that car saying it had a K-motor swap. They asked to race me, I did not know how fast it was because there were some quick 10k RPM ones out there with chutes. Turns out it was on boost but nothing serious Da Summer couldn't dispatch.

LML was tuned by Kory Willis. (Airaid intake, h&s minimaxx (MCC custom tuning by Kory Willis at PPEI) DPF delete, 4" exhaust, Airdog 150 at 18psi, 1/2 fuel line to cp4 and stock fuel filter delete. It has just under 200k miles already, and runs very hard. Since he put the intake on it spools QUICK. We have been racing each other every single day since he got it, and on the street we are dead even. He has plans for huge upgrades and me some minor ones in the works. Hopefully I can still keep up...

lol, you might need a V8 transplant

indeed

funny thing is I was the one that got this kid into Duramax racing, he was almost in diapers when I was terrorizing the track with my EFILive LBZ. Now he has becomw one heck of a diesel tech, and I am teaching him to race too...

Ok. As the new year approaches, I reflect on my short life and relatively brief experience with EFILive and I maintain that buying and becoming involved with EFILive was in the top 3 best decisions that I ever made. But I really like my current car and must make it go fast. I have hit a wall with tuning and performance and this thread must come to an end until I figure it out. The throttle body is closing to 40% and power / acceleration drops terribly. This is despite all the best tuning available with current EFILive support. I am thankful and impressed with it but it's potential has come to an end. The TCM is requesting Torque Reduction and "pooping" all over my 30 psi boost and 361 lb-ft torque party. I am starting a new thread to deal with this as I cannot make any more progress. No big deal.

TODAY:

So here we are, with exactly 15,000 miles on the car. I am thanking GOD, Efilive, and friends for being by my side through this ordeal with the throttle body. It was a huge deal to me personally because I've gone to great lengths to acquire, keep and keep up, and modify the car - not to mention tuning and racing it properly with this software. Time to move on and fine tune and shatter records and hearts. The type off pull Da Summer has now is a tickle of what I knew this car was capable of all along. As you consider that I am just now dipping into the high 8 second 1/8 mile, high 13 second 1/4 mile, and high 3xx horsepower marks - keep in mind that this true daily driver is budget build with no help and does not have any of the popular modifications of the other Ecotec tuners (upgraded turbo, E85, methanol injection, etc.) It does not even have a downpipe.

But as Da Summer has never backed down from anyone ever all this time - even being stuck through a hundred races (and winning over 80% of them!) with 15 PSI boost and 275 horsepower due to the throttle body being less than 50% open every time I accelerated...

You better believe we shall have more confidence and far greater firepower with almost 30 PSI boost, almost 400 horsepower, and the throttle open all the way (1 0 0 %) every time and as long as I stay in the load pedal!!!

I am finishing a nice video from before when the ECM was behaving like asscheeks, and also going drag racing again tomorrow (GOD willing). I feel bad for the sorry son of a gun that dares line up with the new personality of Da Summer.

People in the vid look at your car with their facial expression saying "wtf, he's going to race that...?!"
