Hi all, This is my first post here. I have however been reading most topics and posts by others. I work at a Chrysler dealer and have been a licensed tech for over 10 years. I have built race engines for many people including Mercury Marine, and numerous drag racers. I have put UNPARALLED effort and time into my '03 Pt GT. ALL specs are CONFIRMED via chassis dyno or dragstrip. Stock this car went a best of 15.80 @ 85 Mph. With the addition of a Greddy Profec B set at 17.5psi, a best time of 14.74 @ 93 Mph was attained. Note my car has a MSD DIS 4 system with custom from MSD ignition adapters and a Msd Boost Timing Master with fuel adder. This system allows me to plot fuel and ignition curves with a laptop.(To allow for poor fuel, traction, etc.) I have recently also installed a Snow performance methanol/water injection kit, however the gains are not worth mentioning....yet! Next time at the track I changed only the air box, which was removed and a a ram air duct was installed in place of the left headlamp assy and used 110 octane racing fuel. These changes alone netted me a low et of all time-14.450 @ 96 Mph. NO TRICKS or gimmicks! I rec'd my Stage I and BOV last Thurs. Installation was simple(of course), This kit feels exceptional on the street, however the best E.T. with the stage I pcm was a disappointing 14.84. Holding over 20 psi proved to be a simple task, but the power wasn't there. A quick pcm swap back to factory still using the 50 lb injectors woke the back up the 14.50 range! NOTE: This is the SECOND Stage I kit I have worked with and BOTH CARS SLOWED DOWN-DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY IF YOU ARE TRYING TO CUT YOUR E.T. THIS KIT WON'T DO IT! I have tried all types of combinations-none which are successful. On two separate vehicles. Myself and the other PT owner which I do the majority of reasearch with are members of the OSCA. I encourage any and all PT Turbo owners to join us and have some fun! There are 5 races per year. If we can get 5 cars to enter the class, we can have our own class and compete heads up at a racetrack. This is at Cayuga Motorsports Park in Ontario. The events are well organized and the track is in great shape. Come compete for money and FUN! At any rate....back to the topic at hand. My 03 PT GT autostick has run a best E.T to date of 13.48@105.36Mph, that was yesterday, Sat Sept 13. This proves I have an idea what I am talking about. I am not just another guy running my mouth. A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND EFFORT HAS GONE INTO THIS RESEACH! All the best and I HOPE TO SEE SOME MORE PT'S at the track next year. These cars look great and are fun to watch. Those of you that want of list of mods, here it is!
