My latest mod (making the GT700 faster)

my latest mod is not from Evo , but from Cargraphics Germany instead, we have installed it and Eric will post pictures of the install soon.
This mod consist of beautifuly crafted stainless steel 3 1/2" pipes with their porper resonance shields and screw fittings for the primary and secondary oxigen sensors along with exhaust temperature sensor fittings, to replace the cats in my car.
I must say that the car sounds incredible, you can hear the turbos spooling , but it is not loud and disturbing like the fabspeed truck exhaust.
We have filled the tank with 116 octane leaded race fuel , took it for a ride , and o my God, it really woke up. There was mention of the possibility of overboosting, but this is not the case. We have regeared my car again for quickness , my top speed now is about 180mph instead of 220mph and it gets there yesterday.
It pulls extremely hard in every gear all the way to redline.
My MPH new speeds are as follows:
1st at 7000rpm 49mph
2nd at 7000rpm 88mph
3rd at 7000rpm 110mph
4th at 7000rpm 139mph
5th at 7000rpm 160mph
6th at 7000rpm 178mph
Evo supplied me with a new clutch and i must say this one really catches( you are either on or off) . I had a cup car sport clutch in there before and it fried my flywheel and turned it blue from the heat.
By the way i have driven the car 300 miles and no check engine light yet, what is going on , and is there a way to get rid of it when it comes on.(any ideas).

PS. thank you Hershell and Eric at Cargraphics USA for all your help.
also thank you Roger from Orbit Racing for all your help (the car runs great)

just buy a palm pilot and put the OBDII scanner software on there and erase it when it pops up

Xico is definatly the man, but don't F*** with him cause he will mess you up. I was holding the muffler while Erik was putting the exhaust back on and he told me if i scratched his rear valence he would send me home in a box.
