Finally we are getting some ECU tuned C7 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 dyno numbers. HP Tuners is going to make a killing exclusively having the only ECU crack solution for now. Yes, there is plenty to pick up on the ZR1 and the cars are making monster power. ...Published on 04-13-2019 11:22 PM
HP Tuners is advertising the C7 Corvette ZR1 LT5 ECU as cracked and tuneable. They also offer an unlocking service. Houston House of Power posted what it would cost to tune a ZR1 and looking at the invoice here the price is $5,206.02. ...Published on 04-10-2019 11:06 PM
If you were wondering how much displacement GM has to play with in their Gen V V8 blocks, the answer is plenty. They created a new L8T V8 with the same bore as the 6.2 liter LT motors but with a stroke increase of 98mm. ...Published on 04-09-2019 11:02 PM
We all saw the C7 Corvette ZR1 testing on the Nurburgring but GM never released an official laptime. Maybe they did not hit their target or they just wanted internal testing numbers but their former test driver Jim Mero kept track of his laptimes and released them. ...Published on 04-08-2019 08:02 PM
The Eaton TVS2650 just continues to impress. Speed Engineering was able to top 1000 rear wheel horsepower on their Mustang dyno with the big blower on a stock internal LT4 V8. This was done with direct injection but methanol is helping as well. ...Published on 04-05-2019 04:02 PM
Finally after numerous teasers and an extensive waiting period Magnuson released their TVS2650 supercharger kit for GM LS3 and LSA engine applications. This will likely be a popular upgrade as the TVS2650 is proving to be an incredible powerful and efficient blower. ...Published on 03-29-2019 07:41 PM
Let's interject some automotive humor in between the usual serious horsepower posts. The California DMV is, well, what one could imagine hell to be. Endless rules, lines, red tape, fines, regulations, bureaucracy, and little to no fun. ...Published on 03-28-2019 05:02 PM
Let us hope this does not pass or come into effect as it is madness. As if Volvo limiting all their cars was not bad enough the EU (European Union) is taking things a step further. Cars will be fitted with a mandatory speed limiter, emergency braking system, and electronic data recorders. ...Published on 03-27-2019 08:32 PM
The conventional thinking is that going catless (ditching your catalytic converters) is best for power. That traditionally was the case but modern motors adjust so many parameters so quickly and are built for such efficiency that you can actually lose power by getting rid of the cats. ...Published on 03-24-2019 05:31 PM
There is a reason car companies spend big money on exotic materials in order to reduce weight. Ford includes carbon fiber wheels on the Mustang GT350R because reducing rotational mass has quite an effect on performance. ...Published on 03-22-2019 10:03 PM
This video really can be summed up in one screen grab but the guy sure loves to hear himself talk. The car you are familiar with as it is the ES750RS Porsche 991.1 Turbo S recently written about which has factory GT2 RS VTG turbochargers. ...Published on 03-22-2019 09:31 PM
This appears to be a legitimate leak of the 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette dealer order guide. There are some good details in here and they basically confirm what we knew. It is somewhat surprising to see Chevrolet only go as wide as 305's in back for the tires. ...Published on 03-22-2019 04:42 PM
Wiseco has a Boostline product line of connecting rods which are said to be much, much stronger than traditional designs. What makes these rods different? They have a 3-pocket design that is said to be 60% stronger than traditional H-Beam rod designs. ...Published on 03-15-2019 06:51 PM
As manufacturers become more adept at keeping tuners out (why would we buy cars we can't tune? where is the fun in that?) standalone options will become more and more prevalent. Rather than trying to work within the confines of the factory programming replacing the entire factory system with a Syvecs standalone makes a lot of sense. ...Published on 03-14-2019 07:27 PM
Antigravity batteries is doing some very cool things in the world of automotive batteries. They have their lightweight lithium-ion batteries with remote jump start you likely know of but also their new Battery Tracker technology which allows real-time bluetooth monitoring of your battery. ...
