Never mind. Read in context after posting & comment was made void (and tell Tapatalk we need the ability to delete posts during edit just like in the Web browser).

A few days ago i got my power blocks installed and tuned while running e85. heres a dyno sheet.

Installing the power blocks on an existing tune lost us about 10hp. after a retune we were able to get the power back up and make some good gains. While the dyno didnt say much in terms of big power, taking the car out on the road for the first time with the blocks installed told a different story. Car felt more responsive even on the bottom end and you can feel the gains from 5000-6500rpm. It felt like i gained more power than what the dyno suggested. Power does fall off a little after 7000 rpm thats okay with me. all in all i am happy i got the part installed and i love how the car responds now.

in case anyone was wondering, i dont remember the exact numbers of what the dyno numbers are but i believe the finals numbers after tune/catlessfrontpipe/blocks was 187hp and 168tq corrected.

Anyone try fitting the Perrin STB with these? The Hotchkis one doesn't fit, even with the cover off.

Has anyone got these to fit wit hthe Grimmspeed Alternator cover or strut bar? I'm installing mine Saturday and was curious if I should go ahead and sell those items as i dont see them fitting after install.

Won't you know if they fit in two days anyway?

Thongpocket · 05-01-2014, 08:26 PM

I guess they are to cheap to engrave their logo onto their product. How will people know if someone makes a replica?

uspspro · 05-06-2014, 01:43 AM

Personally, I'd rather have zero logo of any kind.

it is engraved. its just not on the side. its small and you cant see it when installed. but they should engrave a big logo on the sides. or at least throw on some stickers like the pic lol

I have to be honest, I've had to change the way I drive because the car pulls noticeably harder in the 2k-4k range. Not sure about top end because I don't really whip around up there much.

unsurety · 05-09-2014, 04:05 AM

Anyone measure clearance between a strut tower bar before/after the Crawford BPB? Or basically, have a measurement of how much it raises the "D4S" cover?

I am considering the AEM STB because it has a brake master brace, and it seems to sit higher above the engine than other STBs.
