In Shiv we trust

[Shiv@Openflash]

Those will OFT dollars in their account will get $100 discount for the Crawford Power Blocks. But first they have to pass the dyno test on our test car

That can be remedied, we'll just make Canada the next ten states.

Give us a couple of days to figure out package pricing. First we actually need to finish testing and mapping.

If the donald had an 86, he would turn his head for you

Glad to see shiv is on board. Was planning to order a set today but looks like I'll be waiting for shiv to start selling them. OFT FTMFW!

Mmm I see a wideband and blocks in my future. Now to get a nameless header in your hands.

Keep us updated with results as they come in

Normally I would agree with you but the loss in top end (very minimal) is very much overshadowed by that huge hump in power that now sits at 6k rpms.

The net result is you have a faster car because you are sweeping through that rev range not just the 7-7.4k range...

You aren't even going to be able to make use of even 10+ extra HP in 500 rpm at the top end. The mid-range is where you are more even for autocross and track days.

Don't worry guys, I'm going to Chuckwalla on Saturday April 5th. Will post some impressions after the event.

Even better, MotoIQ will dyno the car again in a few weeks to see if the power remained.

Edit: While I agree that the powerband being wider (larger area under the curve) is a good thing, one has to take into consideration transmission gearing ratios and wheel/tire choice to maximize performance.

For a street car, this wider powerband is beneficial... however if one were to race, the same can't be said so easily.

For drag racing, you'd want to ideally overlay redline and RPM drop points to see what powerband the car will be in. Same for track... sometimes a shift like this necessitates different gearing.

A car's powerband isn't laid out arbitrarily, once you change something ideally there should be something else to take advantage of it.

Sub'd - OFT and real dollars waiting if it comes with an e85, OFH, ESC, CBPB tune =)
