Good in-depth update, looking forward to dyno plots.

This seems much more like what I was expecting from this kit.

What is the rev limiter set to with this setup?

What's the point of posting a 141mph photo when the stock car achieves the same?

Because the car isn't maxed out. He still has roughly 1k more rpms to go and that enough should push it to around 150mph.

That sounds like something you'd hear in Fast'n'Furious.

I believe some of the tuners working on our cars have raised the red line to 8000 ish already so there is even more room!

great stuff, keep the info coming.......sub'd

ft_sjo · 03-05-2013, 11:04 AM

How exactly does the photo show how 'easy' it is to hit indicated 141mph? It's a static photo!

Anyway, this is mild baiting as we would hope a boosted vehicles could do at least what the stock car can do, right?

Have you ever heard of the word "teaser"? Give the man some time to write his review and do his stuff.

Dezoris · 03-05-2013, 03:10 PM

Was it Perrin or one of the other tuners that said they don't recommend an 8000RPM redline on the automatic cars? Is this this applicable?

I wonder what the long-term effects of that are.. only time will tell!

Yes, of course. It's the difference between watching a stripper eat her breakfast or have her giving you a lap dance.

this probably has to do with heat, at those rpms the tq converter probably starts to loose it's "locking" abilities and the slippage burns out the transmission

i drive an auto and i can feel the lack of power delivery the closer i get to redline (like the last 500 rpms) but that could be due to the fact the power drops off... who knows...

The stock valve train,...if you guys have seen it like I have,.....you would be very hesitant in trying to push it past factory limits,....trust me.
