Unwrapping My New ATP +2 Turbos! THEY'VE ARRIVED!

[bpd1151]

I've experienced no lag whatsoever. I think that is the same experience that 4DR reported as well.

Originally, I was set to order the "+1's" (due to a potentially expected lag from the +2's)..... but ATP held off on that offering, pending 4DR's reports.

Since 4DR reported no lag, coupled with ATP's own reviews of whether to produce just one, solitary product offering, I rolled with the +2's myself.

I did recently turn up the control knob on the progressive controller a tad bit (on the Methanol) and the little extra spritz has resulted in even more noticeable "umph".

I am excited to obtain a new, adjusted tune file, but am holding back on doing so for now, until I finish paying for, and installing the hard pipes on the hot, or pressurized side first.

So, all in due time.

any update? dyno and how many WHP you gain

No change from what I previously posted.

Keeping everyone in suspense is/was never my intentions.

I will post updates as they occur, and given Christmas is right around the corner, and having three teenagers at home, their gifts get more & more expensive each year.

The only thing i've really done on my own, is i've recently bumped up the knob on the progressive control box for the Methanol.

I kind of sensed since installing these new ATP's into my car, that since they flow so much better than the stockers, it'd probably be better to "spritz" them with a lil extra hit of Methanol.

She's responded quite well.

I likely won't get the new tune dialed in until after the 1st of the year (2014).
Winter's knocking on Chi-Town's door step, therefore, there's no real pressing need to get it done.

Well, Mike, if we don't get to feast on your SHO goodness, we at least deserve to see the presents that have put a restraining order on further upgrades for now, that is!

A variety of ipads, tablets, smart phones, you name it.

Electronics are high on the list, son has started lobbying for a new X-Box One, that he would rather get as a gift rather then purchase himself....

Well..... spoke with Dan Millen today.

He's finagled some scheduling stuff around on his end, and we scheduled my new dyno appointment for Monday February 24th, and Tuesday February 25th.

He said it should really only take one day, but plan for two, just in case.

So as of today, that's the plan on my dyno.

I also discussed with him being pre-emptive, and pre-ordering a 15lb nozzle for the Methanol to replace the current 10lb nozzle I have installed.

Said it was probably a good idea, just to be safe. So I also spoke with Julio over at Alky-Controls today as well, and that new (and bigger) nozzle, is on it's way from Florida.

I also chatted up with my photographer pal today as well, as a few of the boys over at Livernois were inquiring about possibly bringing out a few of his model friends for some photos around LMS's facility.

Said he'll work on it, but the ladies tend to have goofy schedule's themselves, so we'll see if anything pans out on that end.

So, so many trains, running on separate tracks. Difficult, or should I say "challenging" to get everything coordinated altogether, in one harmonious package.

Lastly, I may need to hit up either Chris (crash712us) or even perhaps Darrell (Darelli) for the possibility of shacking up with either of them for that Monday night only.

Whew! :doh:

Keeping fingers crossed for a 500+whp outcome, and then once the tracks open up here in the Midwest (commensurate with the onset of Spring & warmer weather) hopefully well onto my way into those 11's.

Someone else has to give FirstSHO (Mike) a run for his money. Hahaha.  :burnout:

The endless month+ has begun!  I am sure the 500+ mark will be easily eclipsed

I know, I know...... *sigh*

Trust me, the wait has been much more agonizing for me, then the rest of the community.

But all great things, come to those who wait (or are at least to those who patient).

I had to survive the financial tidalwave of the Holidays, in order to get crack'n on the dyno appt.

LMS's dyno schedule is usually 6-8 weeks booked in advance anyhow, so I thought it advantageous to get a hold of Dan today, and get the ball roll'n so to speak.

So saying I'm excited, would be stating it mildly. Hahaha.

 

[crash712us]

You know I got your back my friend.

 

[DJE624]

I will be hoping to see you run 11's this Spring at the GLD Meet up!  In the meantime, try to remain calm.

I'm betting you get that 500WHP mark and more..... I envy the personal tune tweaking you'll get from Dan at the dyno session.  :notworthy: 

I'm anxious to see the gain over where you are now...  opcorn: a new set of turbos keeps crossing my mind too. just gotta try and justify the HP/buck

... I understand the holiday tidal wave. set me back about a month too!.... :boom:

500 or bust! :thumb:

I'm just curious to see if the stock engine, transmission, and the fuel system can handle 500whp? Or to what hp can the stick system handle all of those with safety in mind.
