I'm back and my cat is purring nicely!
This has been the year from H*LL, mostly personal and business issues plus my XKR has been off the road since February, mostly because I've been unable to get the time to get it. I almost had it back with all the s/c upgrades complete but within a couple of days I broke a pinion tooth. But, thanks to XKRacer and motorcarman, all is once again right with the world (except I still have too much work). Yesterday, I drove from my home north of Dallas to Vicksburg, MS (where I'm working on a contract) and all I can say in WOW. I upgraded the lower s/c pulley, had the inlet/outlet ports bored out, upgraded the inter-cooler radiator & pump (all from Eurotoys) and added some engine bling (from XKRacer). On the highway yesterday, maneuvering around some slower traffic, I punched it while doing about 70 mph and my head snapped back. Like that, I was doing over 100 mph. I believe that I have reached my genital limit on hp (i.e. I don't have the b*lls for any more hp). I'll post some photos and some more details on the mods when I get some time. I figure I have about 450 hp now; I can't imagine what it's like for you guys with avos' twin screw setup.
