More power: SBD700 kit by Speed By Design (OKC)

I was so impressed with the customer service and pricing by Chris Riggs when I bought my catted midpipe that I went back to the well again in my quest to release as many ponies as I can from the stock turbos.

My priorities for this project is: 

1. Keep everything safe.

2. Keep everything easily reversible.

3. Allow me to optimize what remaining performance has been destined from the factory.

4. Keep the car's personality of the "gentleman' sports car" and not make it overly loud, smelly or spew fireballs on the highway.

For my goals there are many kits out there: HKS GT570, Switzer P600, AMS Alpha 6, etc.  Most if not all of them are basically rehashes of the same idea...opening flow from intakes into engine, more rapid expelling of spent gases and a tune to optimize everything passing through.  All of them involve some intake in some diameter, a midpipe with cats deleted and more noise.

Chris supplied me with the remaining portions of the SBD700 kit which consists of:

-decatted cast downpipes (piping from the exhaust manifold back)

-3" GotBoost intakes

-SIR 1000cc injectors

-Walbro 290 LPH drop in fuel pumps (for E85)

...and for no other reason than for my own personal satisfaction I installed a pair of GFB adjustable BOVs to help me announce my presence on the road ;)

All were installed with the help of Lee and Derek at Autovation in a day, and then the fun began with Ben Linney at GTC in the UK who did the custom tune.

Having never built a car like this before, the tuning process was very interesting and fun (though probably not so much for my neighbours on Second Line Rd).  With the Cobb AP, you are able to do live datalogging which allows you to record engine parameters on the fly, map it to a data grid and email the results to Ben who is one ocean and several time zones away.  

After a few days of this he came up with my final tune: 1-valet/Eco mode, 2-low boost 91 octane, 3-high boost 91 octane and 4-high boost 94 octane.  In the final map, I'm putting down 620 at the crank and if I choose to run E85 will achieve the holy number of 700.  I have no intention of using E85 since it's a pita to get in my city, so I'm very pleased with my results.  Car runs like a dream with a more aggressive growl.
