I am in Michigan not too far from them...Hmmm this could be interesting to see if they would work with delicious tuning as I have an ACE A350 header and flex fuel tune from CSG tuned by DT.

That's what im hoping they collaborate with DT for a quality tune. Most of us looking for ultimate NA hp have ACE header + Dt tune already. I believe the email said vehicles with DT tunes or OFT already was what they are looking for. Hopefully they go with DT as there response time is much much faster than getting anything done from OFT from experience.

I would agree and hope they collaborate with DT. I didn't get the beta tester email but it looks like I could sign up on their website. But I may want to call them to discuss the process. As personally I would like to take some initial drive data (50% thr pulls, hwy, WOT pulls) and data review (make the data available to DT for review/ cal tweaks if they are willing) to make sure everything looks OK before going to the dyno as DT has put a good amount of work into the ACE Tune, not sure how the manifold will effect that.

Also we havnt seen any data from an E85 vehicle and I didn't see any fuel air data on the dyno charts, that would be interesting to see.

Yeah DT has hours of track time built into their tune. Not just a few dyno pulls then some adjustments after. I hope some NA track guys would go for these as well.


To summarize would like to see the same collaboration effort as ACE/DT to happen with Racer X/DT. They could really sell a ton of these if the results add up at this price. Considering people will spend $300- $400 on a cold air intake tube with minimal gains.

im planning to go E85, but im watching this space because I would hate to go E85 and this turns out to be a very good NA power mod and I have to re-tune. if this add's extra 10-15 hp on top of the E85 and header combo which supposedly brings you up to 200WHP its a major win. if you can get a consistent 215 WHP its about 270hp at the crank and ill be happy to call it a day.

You can hit the 200whp on e85.... I'm hoping this manifold increases the power to 230whp

How does it compare to the pre 17 intake manifold on a tuned car?

How does it compare to 17+ intake manifold on a tuned car?

What Power differences at what RPM?

Area under the curve?

Who's dyno?

Back to back testing?

Fuel types?

I would be happy if this gives more under the curve whilst not needing to increase the limiter.

Some (0-100) 0-60, some 1/4 mile times with MPH to back up the dyno "claims" would be nice.

The amount of cars with claimed hp numbers, that are not able to back them up, is quite large.

I acknowledge the twins are not straight libe drag racers, but, the 1/4 is the only reliable way to judge true power gains.

Opinions may vary

I don't think it would pull another 30hp out of the hat, but even an extra 10-15 on top the 200whp will be perfect and more then you can expect when not playing with boost. Will always want a little bit more but NA tuning is a ball breaker, but its also the most satisfying type of tuning and its always much more exciting when a new performance mod is far into its development process and starts yielding interesting results.

Doing before and after dyno run on the same dyno doesn't mean anything?

There are no variables in 1/4 mile testing? Every run consists of uniform starts and gear changes?
