This really isn’t entirely true. A good tuner simply strips back a couple degrees of timing in the low and midrange to tame the torque, then let it fully eat at higher RPMs. I also run the tallest drag radial I can run too as that helps tame torque on the gearing side. And if that’s not...

Yeah on “only” 800 WHP you wouldn’t be working a 2650 very hard so agree that pulleying it down would definitely increase the noise by a good bit. I’m just under 1100 WHP and my exhaust is a lot louder than my 3.0 Whipple lol https://photos.app.goo.gl/uPZxn3rqmqzSE2B26

Pffft…the 2650 doesn’t make any noise? Someone forgot to tell Jason Leiva and his 1544 WHP ZL1 on a 2650 lol…

Agreed. If low end torque is the goal, a PD blower like Whipple or Maggie is the way.

Negative, my understanding is the Gen 4 block shares similarities with the Predator block that would make it stronger than the Gen 3 block. Hopefully someone will chime in that has researched this more to confirm.

He’s awesome! Reminds me of our beloved bearded dragon that we had to say goodbye to a few years ago. RIP Louis ♥️. Here he is hanging out with our cat Maximillian.

Guys, read up on how the government CAFE mileage requirements work. Sedans get penalized based on their overall footprint so a “decent” sedan that we’d want to drive (think Mercedes E or S Class size) means a manufacturer will have to sell many little cars to offset each bigger car to get their...

How about GT550…? See what I did there? Ok…I’ll show myself out… 😂

Nice work my man! Golden-crowned kinglet, my wife just informed me. Thanks for taking care of the little guy. 👍

Ahhh…so glad she’s back and doing well. Sounds like she had a good scare there. When cats stop eating more than one missed meal it’s ALWAYS a bad sign. Edit: forgot to post the obligatory animal pic! Here’s Sadie “helping” me make the bed 😂

Find her house and roll up in the GT500 haha

Here you go. Velgen VF5, 19x10 and 19x11. 275/35 and 295/35 Conti ECS02 tires.

I’m running these exact same wheels and tires in the exact same sizes lol! Love the setup. Also I had my set up first (just playing @larr12 lol)

Agreed. But that said, there were a LOT of people (including many on this board) who tried to gaslight us into thinking that EVs were in hot demand and here to replace ICE on a full replacement basis. That the technology was ready and the masses wanted them in great demand. Essentially...

Ouch! Huge $19.5B loss for Ford on EVs… https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ford-takes-record-195-billion-charge-ev-bet-implodes-pivots-grid-batteries

You probably don’t need to worry about the half shafts unless you’re going to put sticky tires on it and go to a drag strip. Most street tires just end up spinning so half shafts are dependent on drag strip duty most of the time. I have a good friend with a Whipple who runs bottom nines on...

Yep, that’s a bridge I refuse to cross lol

Not sure if @AcceptableNebula knows the answer to this.

You should try reading what you posted lol. It specifically calls out “aggressive timing” and “prevents power robbing detonation”. BOTH situations are EASILY covered by running E85 on 135 IAT2. You can ABSOLUTELY run full timing advance on 135 IAT2 and you will NOT see any detonation or...

Bugatti Veyron comes to mind of course but not apples to apples obviously (bigger motor quad turbos). Edit: Koenigsegg Regera is also twin turbo and 1100 HP on pump gas.
