PTUNING/Lustine Wins 2008 Redline Time Attack Championship
#24
Thanks guys for all the kind words! You guys are really the ones making this car happen! Without consumers buy the parts there would be no reason for PTuning to build this car! So thank you guys!! I would also like to thank the PTuning Time Attack tC Sponsors:
-Lustine Scion www.lustinescion.com for the use of their Toyota Tundra tow vehicle, so we could to in style and comfort. For the OE parts we needed to rebuild the car and financial assistance to help cover the expense of running a undefeated, class winning race car!
-Progress Technology www.progressauto.com for their expert coilovers and sway bar. The car is truly amazing with their suspension pieces.
-Seibon Carbon www.seiboncarbon.com for their amazing carbon body work... light and strong, cant beat that!
-Hawk Performance www.hawkperformance.com for their super aggressive DTC-60 brake pads. They hauled the car down from mach speed in no time!
-Toyo Tires www.toyo.com for their competitive race-compound R-888 tires.
-Clutch Masters www.clutchmasters.com for their lightweight and super fast shifting stage 6.5 road race twin-clutch setup. This is possible the most amazing clutch ever, and can tolerate everything we throw at it!
-FIC www.fuelinjectorclinic.com for their new gas sucking 900cc saturated injectors.... because of them we may need a bigger fuel tank ;)
-Chris, from the www.thehotstickers.com for making the car stand out both on and off the track!
-The DriveShaft Shop www.driveshaftshop.com for their level 3.9 axles and supplying us with the billet slugs for our custom hubs.
-To Cuong for giving me the chance to drive the fastest modified FWD car in the country! To Toan for the best tunes in the world, and amazing fabrication! To Mike for making sure the team was making ends meet. To Brandon for his logistical genius. To Justin for reversing the "slow" scion stereotype with that Blown Xa! To William who can yank a tC motor in minutes! To Waquas, for keeping the car show worthy at ALL times. To Derell, Tommy, and everyone else for making it possible.
Guys, without the scion community, PTuning and our sponsors none of this would have happened! This is really a dream come true for me, and the PTuning crew! To win the first EVER Modified FWD Time Attack class championships is a spectacular achievement! PTuning should be known throughout the racing community as THE place to go for fast scions, and fast cars in general. We are now the shop to beat! and next year, our competitors better step it up a LOT because Version 3.0 is coming over the winter!!!
If any of you all are interested in trying out Time Attack please call or email PTuning! They have the knowledge and ability to help make even a Stock tC fast on track.

Wow, I missed this thread .
I posted up some info in Travis's debut thread Sunday night, but didn't see this until now. Congrats on the win, I wish I could have stayed for the award ceremony, but leaving I didn't get home until 11:30pm and we left at 2:30pm. Stopped at Cracker Barrel in Manasses, you should know which one it is .
Congrats to everyone again, can't wait to see you guys on the track next season, I just might be racing against you guys next year.

I've been wanting the AIM dash for the LONGEST time, as it actually interfaces with the Hydra Standalone system.

So are you and brian planning to run the TA series next season? We have a few local customers that are planning to build their car this winter to compete next season.

Sounds Great MrC.
And yeah, that is the plan I believe. I know that's the plan for me, I'm pretty sure Brian is probably going to take on the challenge as well. I have been trying to carefully select my mods, so they will help in the TA series. I might be in the Street class, not sure yet, I guess it all boils down to what I am able to accomplish with the car before the season starts.

We will post more dyno graphs of the final tune in the near future once we swap in a new tranny for the TA tC.

very nice. almost 4k rpms of strong usable powerband of +300 hp, or tq. but to be quite honest with you, i think it has more in it. it looks very similar to my dyno. and my car has no headwork at all. im almost willing to bet that with more time spent on a tune, that car will see much more power.
can you give us any specs on those cams? lift, duration, and most important, price. :D also do you have an estimated price on head packages?

We will post more details and dyno charts in the coming weeks when we get the car back on the dyno for more testing. Now with more power on hand, we're seeing other components in the drive train starting to fail. We will be taking apart the stock tranny to figure out what caused 4th gear to fail and figure out what we will need to do to improve the factory tranny.

We are still testing a few more cam profiles before we release the specs and pricing. These things take time but it will be worth the wait. We don't like to sell any product we make without first testing it out ourself. What looks good on paper may not perform in a real world scenario.

as for my dyno.
this was on 18psi, tuned on e-manage blue. as you can see were making roughly the same power at the point where my rev-limiter comes into play. and my head is stock. please dont think i'm trying to bash or slander, cause im not. i was simply stating that i think that theres alot more power to be had. sorry if it came across any other way.
also i noticed that you said that it made the same amount of power with or without water/meth injection. this part confuses and worries me as i have a w/m kit arriving friday. could you go into a little more detail on why there was no effect?
sorry again for all the questions, but you guys seem to really know what you are doing.
