lawdude Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Thought I wanted power upgrades first. After driving it, I believe there's too much power for the stock tires. I'll get some drag radials before I do any power upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awakeinAZ Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I doubt the super charger is even working unless you have 500 miles or so....????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I doubt the super charger is even working unless you have 500 miles or so....????? MM sets it for you before you pick it up--if not, just drive it at highway speed for like 7 miles and it sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawdude Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I doubt the super charger is even working unless you have 500 miles or so....????? It's 5 continuous miles or 50 starts. I took a route specified by MM. Supercharger kicked in right on cue at 5 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldgus Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Congrats LawDude!!! Enjoy your new Beastie, be safe. And before you mod it out like crazy, drive it for a bit, get to know what you really need, and what your plans are for the car. That way you dont end up with a bunch of "unhappy" parts for sale...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Thought I wanted power upgrades first. After driving it, I believe there's too much power for the stock tires. I'll get some drag radials before I do any power upgrades. LOL...yeah, they have amazing power. First time I jumped on it right after the rev limiter timed out, my wife started beating me on the arm and screaming "SLOW DOWN!!!". I'm glad I had it pointed where I wanted to go (kind'a like shooting a gun...POINT and shoot). HINT: Use your TC "Sport-trac" mode. With cornering AND straight-line, it makes it REAL fun to drive. TC "Off" is just for smokey burn-outs. Phill 2010 Kona Blue/White GT500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't matter which mode it was in, I could not detect any traction control engagement whatsoever. Will try again in a couple of weeks with some drag radials.

Michael Morris Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Mike got here about the time we finished the mods, so after I put gas in it Mike he and his father drove it and turned the S/C on! Just great timing! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
