Just wanted to say Hello

Hello everyone!

I purchased a 1997 Spyder GS-T in 2000 as a daily driver. A couple years later, I had it repainted and it's been a weekend warrior ever since. Over the years, I modded her mildly and tried to retain the stock appearance.

Here is the current mod list:

DSMLink, EVO III 16g, MeOH injection with M5 nozzle, 190lph FP, 660cc injectors, AEM WBO2, ARP head studs (not installed yet), Greddy EVO 2 catback, ported exhaust manifold / O2 sensor housing, 2.5" DP & Hi-Flow cat, etc, etc.

I'm currently running a 11.8:1 AFR, 17 degrees at redline with the boost set at 22psi on the SMIC. She is pushing about 39lbs/min at that boost pressure. Now if I only had some traction.

Nice to meet everyone.

Good to see another Spyder on the boards. Do what the others do and AWD swap it. I have some of the parts!

Re: Just wanted to say Hello

I would love to do the AWD swap, but my wife would kill me.

As for the SMIC, I'm looking to find out how much power I can make before the thing blows up. I've checked my airflow numbers against other guys running similar mods and haven't seen any appreciable difference. I was knocking a little before the addition of the MeOH, but everything is perfect now.

I'll be replacing the head studs with ARP's next spring when I get her out of storage using the "one at a time" method and plan to up the boost until I run out of injectors. I figure I should be able to get away with about 26 - 28psi. Then we'll see what the SMIC is made of.

Welcome to the club. A testpipe will definitely be worth it and it actually isn't much louder.
