2006 GTO Checking In

[Ironmancan]

Thank you for letting me know about this site sir little bit about me I retired from the Marine Corps last year and now live in Tampa Fl. I bought the GTO new in Feb 2006 since then I've been modding and racing her as I go.

Quick specs on the cars major mods. Forged Ironblock LQ9 with the APS Extreme twin turbo kit. Return style fuel system, RPS/Streetslayer twin disk carbon carbon clutch, 1000hp driveshaft axles and axle stubs along with 3:07 gears out back. I have a tuner i use but i do most of the tuning on my own. One of my goals is to run the mile event and break 200mph in the standing mile. I was at 830rwhp with 14lbs of boost but I had to turn down the boost, clutch is rated at 750 and started slipping during full boost runs. Ill post up pics in a few. My GTO is black with red interior my wife has a 2006 Brazen Orange with black interior but its mostly stock.

A 2008 article done on my car. Biggest mods since this article two years ago I pulled the engine for a freshing up we added AFR 245s and a new Cam. Last year we got the bigger turbos and piping for the turbo kit.

Last year at a local dyno day. This was on 12lbs of boost with the street tune. Numbers were 690/640ish I didn't get the dyno sheet.

Welcome aboard, Rick! And thank you for signing up. It sounds like you and I have one thing in common - 10 second daily drivers - even if the driver isn't capable of it. I have a 2000 S4 that's just about ready to hit the pavement and SHOULD be a high 10 second car. I guess we'll see...

That's great to do your own tuning. Really awesome. I'm in Royal Palm Beach - on the other side...
