LS1 Race System goes 8.70s Mighty Mouse
Your probably thinking “Wow, its about time Nick posted something!” And your right, it is about time. With the winter time here, we seem to stay busy with big projects. We’ve been working on a forged 347″ TTiX Chevy Corvette and also working on a forged 347″ Pontiac Trans Am. I’ve posted a lot of pictures and progress on these builds over on ls1tech.com and on corvetteforum.com but in case you have missed it or perhaps you don’t keep up with the forums, you can view the threads below.
… Now back to my title! Mighty Mouse has come along way with the original LS1 Race System. Dave originally sent us his car to make the first a2w race system back in ‘03. He’s made a few of his own modifications and has been down a very long road of trial and error but never once has he given up. Take a look for your self… 8.73 @ 159.2MPH!
8 second 17″ tires MM
Nice work Dave! Keep it up!

Banks EconoMind Tuners (Cummins, Duramax, 6.0L Ford)
Banks had a press release this morning for a new line of tuners called Economind. These tuners work with the new Duramaxs, ‘03-’07 Dodge Cummins and the Ford 6.0L. They show gains of at least 100hp and at least 175ft/lbs of torque; not to mention the 19% increased fuel mileage. Like every other programmer, they pay for themselves in a year depending how on much you really drive your diesel.
Contact me for a current price on any of these modules. As always I’ll price match the competition!
Mazda Speed 3 A2W and Ing goes 9.72 TTiX
And Mr. Ing goes even faster… Check out the YouTube video (its also under the TTi Media)
Here is a little project that we finished up for a customer on Friday. This Mazdaspeed 3 used to have a FMIC but decided to ditch it for an A2W setup. His only problem was fabricating the ducting. We finished the install for him and it turned out really well. “This looks better then I expected Nick, Thanks!”
Just an update
Its been over a month since I’ve updated the main page but I’ve been working on the site a little bit. I’ve changed the colors and fonts a little bit so they are a little bit easier to read for some of you. I also added a tuning page to the navigation bar where we will post all of the vehicles that we currently tuning.
I’m building more walk throughs of how our turbo systems are designed. To see the latest check out this:
Geise’s GTO Qualifies #4 at Sonoma in Top Sportsman
If you turn back the hands of time, you might remember a project that we did for Curt Geise. Geise purchased a Pontiac GTO prostock chassis built by Tim McAmis and wanted to run it in Top Sportsman. Instead of running a big CID motor like most of the competition, we built him a custom twin Y2k88 turbo system. When we dynoed the car over a year ago, the Pontiac powered 525″ on only 10PSI made just over 1000RWHP.
Geise finally had a chance to take the car out to track at the Sonoma divisional race and had a lot of success. Qualifying #4 in the class for your first outing isn’t too much to ask for, especially when you have George Scott and the tuner, Job Spetter JR of Turbo People of New York, eager to ramp more boost in to get to that number one position. Geise’s best time was 7.18 @ 192MPH. He backed up that run with 3 more passes: 7.22 @ 191MPH and 7.25 @ 192MPH (twice).
Who said you couldn’t bracket race a turbocharged car again?
Rob aka Boost Master goes 9’s with TTiX
Rob called the shop yesterday and wasted no time telling me about his weekend. In fact the second thing out of his mouth was, “I went 9.98 at 151MPH!” That’s another X kit into the 9’s and with a MPH like that, who knows what the car could have done if it hooked up or had an auto tranny ;).
The paparazzi got to me before Rob could with a video of the race, lets check it out!
