All I want for Christmas....

[bigmoneycloser]

Dear Santa,
Send some elves to LMS to help finish the XSport downpipes and cat back exhaust..
Also, would like some more HP while still maintaining a reliable daily driver...
So a turbo/fuel system upgrade or something like that would be great..


Thanks Santa, your the best...


Sincerely
BMC

Dear Santa,

Please post the encoding key for the ECU in 2013 3.5EB engines on this forum.  I've been very good... ya' right!  LOL

The MAK downpipes will be larger diameter. I'll go with those once released.

[bigmoneycloser]

Can you post a link for those?

My 2 back teeth!!!!LOL

And a Black Ferrari 458 with red piping on the seats.

If you can consider waiting for PPE downpipes, they pass emissions testing (per 4DR) and are a true work of art (in my opinion). MAK's may also, but Livernois apparently don't pass, even with cats.

Is there any eta on the PPE?

4DR is working on it... He will know.

Ok question...I saw post about a new HPFP being developed.  If you combined this new HPFP with new ATP turbos, would you maintain a good dependable daily driver and pick up the potential 200+HP from the turbo upgrade??
In reference to 14 XSport.

Good question BMC!  I also want a good looking ride... that surprises people when I ask it to, but need a dependable DD also.

Car EB engine has cast pistons and rods.  Only the crank is forged.  Besides the engine, you have to consider all the rest of the drive train.  Transmission, transfer case, rear end limitations and all the rest of the shafts & u-joints.   And then... how do you expect to get all that power to the pavement? Also.. engine parts are cast in Mexico, for what it's worth.  Note... Truck has stronger internals.

A re-manufactured EB car long block retails for $4,800. Plus install.  Tranny ain't cheap either.

Tranny is the biggest concern I have (after tune/FRP, etc being safe).  I guess there's not an aftermarket rebuild or "beef up" kit yet.

[bigmoneycloser]

Sounds like I should just be happy with what I got... Do the exhaust.. And call it a day..

I want meth!!!! I think it's about time to pull the trigger. If I order now it may be here before Xmas.  Ugh. Choices!!

Better join AA.  Next you'll be he on laughing gas (NOS)
