At this point, I wonder what can be extracted with some more aggressive exhaust cams. And would it be worth the cost and effort. At that point there isn't much more to do than increase compression and displacement. Spinning the motor even more is expensive and at what point will VVEL crap the bed? That oil pump is on the ragged edge at 8k already.

Rob,
So with the upgraded injectors and fuel pump, were you able to advance the timing quite a bit? and still be safe?

I'd say that the upgraded injectors and pump allowed them to run E85, and the higher octane allowed more timing. I can't imagine there being any difference on pump gas.

So, what did you do to the intakes? Did you make it go to 2 filters instead of 1, and enlarged the radiator support?

If TSM has a nice pnp'd IM that shows solid gains with a tune at a reasonable price point, I'd certainly be interested.
As to intakes, I'd be curious to hear if they have a larger diameter and if some nice CNC'd velocity stacks might be involved...

yes, that was Allison's. Great job by TopSpeed.
hadn't been on in a while, didn't know there was anohter page on it. Rob did the work on mine and glad he has found a way to pull more out of it. TopSpeed is an awesome shop and has been the winners of One Lap of America with a GTR and have an awesome R8 entered this year that should win again!
