the verdict is in

i just took my tgp with 138K on it to the track and it was kinda dissapointing. for a while the best i could get was a 16.56 . this was really up setting after all the reading i was doing on how fast these cars are. later that night i took the air cleaner off and pulled of a 16.16 @81MPH which was kinda amazing to pick that much time up :? . but still disapointing. so later as the night went on, i started bring the car off the line at 3k rpm and it really picked up. as the night went on i got a 15.86 @ 85.18 mph. i also noticed that the boost gauge was reading about 10 psi, which was kinda impressive. but over all i wasn't impressed with its performance , so now i think i'll order the top gun 160 chip and see how much that helps.

You're not going off the stock boost gauge are you? Because it's not very accurate. Unless you live in the mountains, you're not gonna pull that kind of boost. The ECM cuts of the fuel before it gets that high.

Dude - order that chip and then tell us about it. You won't be disappointed.

i was going off the stock boost guage, but from what i was reading on how the computer restricts eveything, i was kinda thinking it wasn't right.

what elevation is the track where you raced your TGP?

GPChief · May 23, 2003, 06:15:56 AM

No elevation listed on their website, If I remember correctly (grew up around there) it is 500Ft or close to that.

Would you have the pictures on another server?

Should try www.photobucket.com, great host.

BTW, the aol servers aren't that slow(at least for me when I've uploaded pics and viewed them from places other then home), it's just that the pics are not hosted anymore.

It was on the car when I got it, I believe Rick(the previous owner) stated that he received the badge w/ his chip from Jeff M. 8)
